Commercial Hand Dryers: Comparing the Top Restroom Hand Dryers
Dyson Airblade
The Dyson Airblade is unique in its energy-efficient design that will clear water from one's hands in 12 seconds. Hands can be placed between sensors so as to activate the streamlined jets of air that immediately push water off the top of hands. Since a person does not have to touch the dryer to be able to use it, it is actually more sanitary than several standard devices. The Dyson Airblade also uses anti-bacterial technology to filter the air before it leaves that dryer.
Mitsubishi Jet Towel
The Mitsubishi Jet Towel is similar to the Dyson Airblade in the users place their hands to a trough which activates jets of air. The Mitsubishi Jet Towel's jets move air at about 180 MPH and may dry hands in about 3 to 4 seconds. This rapidity is not only convenient for the user, but saves energy as the dryer doesn't need to operate for long periods of time. Although this dryer carries a filter to prevent bacteria from spreading, its filtering technology is not really as advanced as that in the Dyson Airblade, making it less hygienic.
eXtreme Surroundings EXT High Speed Us Hand Dryer
The eXtreme Air EXT could be the most similar of the three designs to conventional vertical hand dryer designs. It is extremely energy-efficient, as it is smaller and uses less electricity than standard hand dryers. Although this model is not really as efficient or technologically advanced for the reason that others, it is among the more affordable, high quality dryers on the market.
