For any thorough drying, I've needed to push the button a few times because the airstream is too weak, the temperature isn't hot enough, and the runtime is too short. Having just recently returned from a trip to Osaka and Taipei, I can tell you that in those cities, they know what they're doing. I was only changing planes in Osaka and granted my sample set consisted of only the airport bathrooms, but their hand dryers put ours to shame. Put your hands under the sensor-activated vent (complete with drain to catch excess water) and it starts automatically. The airflow is nice and strong and the temp is much warmer than US dryers but without scorching. I could see the water run off my hands instead of just being evaporated. The dryer runs for as long as your hands are under the vent and dried much faster than US dryers. No buttons to push. My sample set in Taipei was larger, including various restaurants, shopping malls, standalone shops, subway bathrooms, others. Yes, the subways have bathrooms and they're decently clean and maintained. The dryers there were similarly powerful and effective at drying my hands. I'll agree, US hand dryers are pretty weak.
