I know same at my work! I don’t like touching the sides of it so I just use the paper towels they provide

It’s BYT here because we only have the machines. They’re obnoxiously loud and blast germs through the air.

Well they are fitted with hepa filters unlike most hand dryers but I get your point

Some blog tested a bunch of different air blowers for bacteria on hands and the Dyson was included, it was just as bad as every other manufacturer since the air jet caused the ambient air to land on your hand too, the HEPA filter is pretty useless.

Ive just looked into that. They tested a gloved hand dipped in bacteria bot washed and just inserted into the machine and yes results weren't good. It only reccomend paper towels. But there are quite a few studies that dispute this. The key take away I can find is.... if you actually wash your hands properly you should be good whatever you use.
