AIKE High Speed jet Hand Dryers

High Speed Hand Dryers

Today’s hand dryers are MUCH faster than previous generations.  They are also more energy efficient and much more fun to use.  In the old days business owners were afraid to replace paper towels with hand dryers because, while making the change would be good for the environment, save money and reduce maintenance hassles, warm air hand blowers took too long to dry hands.  With today’s latest generation of hand dryers, those “just wipe your hands on your pants” jokes go away.  (And not a moment too soon for us.)

So we always recommend a high speed hand dryer first.  Not only are they better for the user, and not only can you get more users through a busy bathroom, but they are vastly more energy efficient than traditional hand dyers.  That is because they use less energy (say 1500 watts vs 2300 watts) and they are on for a shorter period of time.  (Say 15 seconds vs 30 seconds.)   There is one major trade off to high speed hand dryers: they are louder than slower hand dryers.  There is almost a directly proportional relationship between time to dry and level of noise.  However the manufacturers are working on this issue and expect to see improvements  in the near future. There are a lot of quiet hand dryers available, usually at a good price, but you are giving up performance, which we feel is more important.

We also recommend an automatic / infrared sensor activated hand dryer.  An automatic hand dryer is more hygienic since the user never touches it and it also saves energy since it stops running as soon as the you remove your hands (as opposed to continuing to the end of the timer cycle).  Automatic hand dryers have become so much more popular than push button dryers that all of the new, fast hand dryers are designed with only an automatic option.  Some folks, especially at schools, still feel that push button dryers such as the World Dryer Model A are the most reliable, however we feel that sensor activated hand dryers are more reliable even than the push button hand dryers and we like that there are less moving parts.  (Push button dryers are best in environments where people might set off the sensors when they do not mean to.)
