The problems with
other hand dryers
Have you ever looked inside a drain tank?
Some hand dryers collect waste water
using drain tanks. But these are
unhygienic – providing the perfect
breeding ground for bacteria.
Drain tanks must be emptied and
cleaned regularly – adding time and
effort to the washroom maintenance
process, and risking spillage of
waste water during disposal.
Warm air dryers
Warm air dryers are slow.
Which means they’re energy hungry,
expensive to run and unhygienic.
Dry times can take up to 43 seconds,
so many users give up before their
hands are dry – risking increased
spread of bacteria.
Jet dryers
Other jet dryers might look like
a Dyson Airblade
™
hand dryer,
but when it comes to performance,
there’s no comparison. Thanks to
weak motors, most other jet dryers
can’t generate the fast airflow
needed to dry hands quickly.
They can also lack the power
required to draw the air through
a HEPA filter.
So most other jet dryers aren’t just
slower than Airblade
™
technology,
they’re less hygienic too.
Did you know?
Public health specialists NSF state
that to be cer tified as hygienic,
a hand dryer must dry hands
in 15 seconds or less.
Did you know?
In recent testing, Dyson
microbiologists detected greater
levels of bacteria in a drain tank
than levels that can be found in
the average household toilet.
