Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer

The only hand dryer that literally scrapes water from hands

It’s the fastest hand dryer – and it’s hygienic, too, purifying the air before blowing it onto hands. And because it uses up to 80% less energy than warm air hand dryers, it costs less to run and can help lower a project's carbon footprint.

You put your hands under other dryers, rub them a bit, then give up and wipe your hands on your trousers. It’s something that’s always annoyed me.

The problem with other hand dryers:

They’re too slow – some take as long as 44 seconds to dry hands. It’s because of their motors. They can’t create enough airflow to remove more than a little water from hands – while slowly evaporating the rest. They can’t filter the bacteria from the air before it reaches your hands either – that’s unhygienic.

The problem with paper towels:

They’re expensive to buy, re-stock and dispose of – and they generate landfill. By changing to the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer, you can make immediate savings and help reduce your project’s carbon footprint.

10 second dry time

Sheets of air travelling at over 400mph scrape water from hands like a windscreen wiper.

Uses up to 80% less energy than warm air hand dryers

Patented Dyson digital motor spins 88,000 times a minute – delivering a much faster dry time using less energy.

Carbon footprint

The only hand dryer awarded the Carbon Reduction Label.

The only truly hygienic hand dryer

A HEPA filter removes over 99.9% of bacteria from the air used to dry hands.

To illustrate how this works, we set up a special test in a ‘smokebox’ to show how the HEPA filter in the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer removes bacteria from the airflow. This ensures the air that dries your hands is hygienically clean.

Touch-free operation

Starts and stops automatically. No dirty buttons to press.

Easy to clean

Sealed casing infused with anti-microbial additives eliminates 99.9% of surface bacteria.

Tough and durable

Robust, vandal-proof casing.
