Other hand dryers are too slow Testing based on NSF Protocol P335 shows that most other hand dryers are much slower than their manufacturers claim. Many people give up when using a slow hand dryer. But damp hands can spread up to 1,000 times more bacteria than dry hands. Dyson hand dryers are the fastest Testing based on NSF Protocol P335 proves that Dyson Airblade™ hand dryers are the fastest. Every second, up to 35 litres of air is forced through apertures up to 0.8 mm wide. The result – 430 mph sheets of air that scrape water from hands, drying them quickly and hygienically.

HEPA filter Other hand dryers are unhygienic They don’t filter bacteria from the washroom air. They suck in dirty air then blow it back onto hands. The most hygienic hand dryers Dyson Airblade™ hand dryers use HEPA filters. 99.9% of bacteria in the washroom air are captured. So hands are dried using cleaner air, not dirty air.

Other hand drying methods are expensive to run Paper towels need constant restocking and disposal. Most other hand dryers are slow so they’re energy-hungry. Low running costs Dyson Airblade™ hand dryers cost up to 69% less to run than other hand dryers, and up to 1 97% less than paper towels. For calculations visit dysonairblade.co.uk/calcs

High impact on the environment Dyson Airblade™ hand dryers produce up to 72% less CO2 than some other hand dryers and up to 68% less than paper towels.1 Based on LCA results of Dyson Airblade™ hand dryers calculated by Dyson using method developed in conjunction with Carbon Trust, and comparable results from T. Montalbo, J.Gregory, R.Kirchain. Life Cycle Assessment of Hand Drying Systems (a Dyson commissioned study 2011). Data taken from U.S. environmental statistics including electricity grid mix and recycling practices and relating to models AB02 and AB04. Low impact on the environment...

Paper towels cause other problems Blockages Paper towels can clog waste water systems. Overflowing bins Soiled towels can end up on the floor of busy washrooms. Empty dispensers Dispensers are often left empty leaving no way to dry hands. Wasteful Used paper towels are rarely recycled, so they end up in landfill or are incinerated. Create mess Paper towels are often discarded without care. This can create a negative impression of washroom cleanliness.

50% quieter Airblade™ technology combined with the Dyson digital motor V4 creates high speed sheets of air. The Dyson Airblade dB hand dryer is the fastest way to dry hands and is 50% quieter than the original Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer. It is suitable for all washrooms, particularly where sound levels are an important consideration. How it works 1 Dirty washroom air is sucked in by the Dyson digital motor V4. 2 It passes through a HEPA filter, removing 99.9% of the bacteria. 3 The filtered air passes over the electronics, cooling them. 4 The air then reaches the motor, which channels it up...

Quieter and slower Some manufacturers make their machines quieter by reducing the power, so they can take even longer to dry hands. Quieter and just as fast The Dyson Airblade dB hand dryer is 50% quieter than the original Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer, but still dries hands in just 10 seconds.

Acoustically re-engineered to reduce noise Dyson engineers focussed on reducing sound from two key sources: Reduced air rush noise With a sound power level of 82 dB(A), the Dyson Airblade dB hand dryer is 50% quieter than the original Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer. Airblade™ technology results in air travelling at 430 mph through apertures measuring just 0.4 mm in width. Some noise is inevitable. Reduced motor noise Dyson acoustic engineers have made improvements to the level and quality of the sound generated by the Dyson digital motor V4. The first and fourth harmonics of the motor tone,...

The most hygienic hand dryer The Dyson Airblade dB hand dryer dries hands in just 10 seconds. It’s the fastest hand dryer. It also has touch-free operation, uses a HEPA filter and contains a lifetime antibacterial additive, which can help prevent the growth of bacteria. Approved for use in food environments by HACCP

Test. Test. Test. The Dyson Airblade dB hand dryer is engineered to last. It has been repeatedly tested for durability and resilience to physical and chemical abuse. It has also been exposed to real-life environments to ensure that it can withstand the pressures of high usage. With strong construction and robust materials, the Dyson Airblade dB hand dryer is suitable for high footfall, high usage locations where vandalism can be an issue. And because it uses 430 mph sheets of filtered air to dry hands, there is no heating element prone to wear and failure.

Concentrated, not compromised Dyson engineers have developed one of the world’s smallest 1600W motors, enabling them to build a hand dryer that protrudes just four inches from the wall. It dries hands hygienically, in 10 seconds. The Dyson digital motor V4 The impeller spins 90,000 times a minute – generating enough power to draw in up to 35 litres of air per second. With fully-integrated mechanical, electrical and aerodynamic systems, it’s a high efficiency, power-dense package with a diameter of just 85 mm.

Other hands-under dryers In the wall Because of bulky motors, other hand dryers may protrude too far from the wall. They may have to be recessed into the wall. This can be costly. Dyson Airblade V hand dryer On the wall The Dyson Airblade V hand dryer is just four inches deep, so it can be installed without recessing and the associated costs.
