Which Hand Dryer should I buy?

When choosing a hand dryer, keep in mind a few criteria and consider your needs:
- Speed-Performance
- Quietness
- Hygiene
- Energy efficiency
- Design
- Life expectancy-maintenance

Today, hand dryers are much faster than before. They are also more energy efficient and more fun to use. In the old days, replacing paper towels with hand dryers was not an easy choice because hand blowers took too long to dry hands. With the last generation of hand dryers, those “just wipe your hands on your pants” jokes go away.
Now the issue is more about what is good for the environment, what is more hygienic, and how to reduce costs and maintenance hassle.
It is also about offering your clients or employees restroom solutions where high standards are important.
And of course, as Dyson has brought it to us : a hand dryer is also a high-tech and lifestyle object with a high added value.

High Speed Hand Dryers

We always recommend them first.
Better for the user, faster, more hygienic, they are more energy efficient, since they use less energy and are on for a shorter period of time.
There is one trade off to high speed hand dryers : the level of noise. However, the manufacturers are working on this issue and the latest generation of hand dryers is becoming always quieter, without giving up performance, which we feel is the most important.
We also recommend an automatic-infrared sensor activated hand dryer.
Since the user never touches an automatic hand dryer, it is more hygienic, and it also saves energy since it stops running as soon as you remove your hands.  

The Dyson Galaxy

At about a 10 s dry time, the Dyson Airblade are the fastest hand dryers on the market today. They are also one of the most hygienic with their Hepa filter, making the air hitting your hands cleaner than the air in the restroom. And they are design and have introduced innovation in the operation. With the Dyson AB14 hands go down into the Airblade and water is removed as the hands are pulled out. The Dyson AB09-10-11 is a combination faucet and hand dryer, where hands are dried without removing them from the sink. The Dyson V HU02 has a slim profile, is very convenient for smaller restrooms, and is also now 35% quieter.
