Which is the Best Hand Dryer?

It may be easy to assume that our suggestions are formed from opinion alone. In reality, our recommendations come from the foundation of almost twenty years of sales, expertise, and knowledge in the industry. This allows us to know which dryers are the most trustworthy and reliable and interact with the industry and customers alike to narrow down further those that outperform continuously over the years.

While our manufacturers may not be pleased with recommending one brand over another, ProDryers® is committed to providing nothing less than the best, which means being completely honest to our customers. We created ProDryers® so that customers can always have a variety of brands to compare to and make the best purchasing decision based on data, materials provided and covering their specific needs all at once. Our reputation stands on customer satisfaction.

Therefore, we highly recommend considering the high-quality, well-reviewed, made in the USA brand: Excel Dryer XLERATOR® to start with. That's not because other brands are unreliable, but this is based on our factual sales data, customer response, and the XLERATOR® warranty that is rarely needed but exceptional for a hand dryer.

How rarely needed is the warranty on an XLERATOR® hand dryer? Based on the 600 to 900 units sold every month, we at ProDryers® experience less than 1% of calls based on the warranty, and keep in mind that the warranty lasts for 7 years while the unit itself has a long life of up to 10 years, and in many cases, longer.

Our next highly recommended brand to consider is the Dyson Airblade® V, as our customers tend to compliment and report high user satisfaction with this model. This model also has a very sleek and stylish design that is wall-mounted and offers a high-tech user experience while also being very reliable and durable.

Which Brands are Known for High-Performance Design?

Suppose you have a restroom that is always busy. In that case, you'll not only want but need a hand dryer that has the highest performance, exceptional power, and longest-lasting design that helps move people in and out of your restroom. Powerful features and performance assist with congestion, less downtime, and higher satisfaction for your customers or employees all around.

If this sounds like what you've been searching for, you will want an XLERATOR® commercial hand dryer. It's a brand almost unmatched for superior reliability, speed, and materials while drying hands well and fast.

Which Brands are Known for Attractive Design?

This is a bit tougher to answer, as many factors into an attractive design must be considered. Are you looking for:

  • A hand dryer with color options that will meld seamlessly into your established or planned bathroom décor?
  • A hand dryer with a sleek, minimal yet futuristic look and feel?
  • A hand dryer with unique image covers for further customization?

As the idea of attractive design is often very different for each customer, we encourage you to feel free to reach out to our expert customer service team and us with what you're looking for. We'd be happy to present several options that may fall into the stylish category you are looking for.

What Sort of Cost Savings Can I Expect Using a Hand Dryer?

When it comes to saving you cash, here are a few ways are using a hand dryer will help you spend less yearly:

  • By eliminating the need to purchase paper towels. Depending on the size of your facility, the larger the building, the more washrooms are needed. With multiple restrooms, you often need larger orders of paper towels, and by installing a hand dryer, you no longer need to budget for paper towel usage.
  • While it is true that hand dryers require electricity, with today's innovative technology, commercial hand dryers use a minimal amount. Some business hand dryers with warm-air heating elements cost less than 50 cents per 1,000 uses, while some non-heated, cool air units cost roughly 20 cents per 1,000 uses. And in some cases, with non-heated hand dryers, you may be able to install multiple dryers on a single electrical line—depending on the brand. For example, XLERATOR® and ExtremeAir EXT are designed without a heating element for your maximum electrical cost savings.
  • Lowered maintenance costs since the use of continuous paper towels, replacement, and waste management and removal are not necessary. Additionally, there is no need to constantly monitor the paper towel stock, find where to buy them in bulk, decide how to store them, not to mention the ongoing costs of vandalism or misuse, such as paper towel stuffing in toilets.

Can I use Paper Towel and buy Hand Dryers?

As a business owner, no doubt you understand your employees, customers, or audience best. For some, they prefer paper towels, while others prefer to utilize a hand dryer, many for the cost-saving benefits listed above. Before buying hand dryers, we always encourage customers to factor in what your intended audience will use best. The end goal should be to eliminate paper use over time, especially in large buildings like rest areas, schools, stadiums, universities, and other facilities, which may not be challenging. For example, when it comes to a small, family-run business or a smaller restaurant, it may be wise to keep some paper towels after installing a dryer. In the example of a small business, your employees and customers may prefer using a paper towel to open or touch door handles. If so, we suggest moving your paper towel dispenser closer to the door with a waste receptacle nearby and installing your dryer nearer to a sink.

Choosing the Perfect Hand Dryer: A Buyer's Guide for Commercial Restrooms

Switching from paper towels to a hand dryer in your commercial restroom offers several benefits: reduced waste, lower operating costs, and a more modern feel. But with a variety of hand dryers on the market, selecting the right one can be overwhelming. This guide will equip you to make an informed decision by considering these key factors:

Understanding Your Needs:

  • Traffic Volume: High-traffic areas like office buildings or restaurants need robust hand dryers with fast drying times (ideally under 15 seconds) to handle the constant use.
  • User Demographics: Restrooms frequented by children or the elderly may benefit from lower noise levels and automatic sensor activation for ease of use.
  • Accessibility: The hand dryer's placement should comply with ADA guidelines, ensuring easy reach from a wheelchair.

Hand Dryer Features:

  • Drying Speed: Prioritize faster drying times, especially in high-traffic areas. High-speed dryers (often utilizing jet blade technology) achieve this but can be louder.
  • Energy Efficiency: Look for Energy Star certified models to minimize running costs and environmental impact.
  • Durability: Choose a hand dryer built with sturdy materials, particularly for high-traffic areas. Consider vandal-resistant features if necessary.
  • Antimicrobial Technology: This feature helps reduce the spread of bacteria, ideal for healthcare facilities or high-hygiene environments.
  • Activation Mechanism: Automatic sensor dryers offer a more hygienic, touch-free experience. Push-button models are generally less expensive but require physical contact.
  • Air Temperature: Warm air dryers offer comfort in colder climates, while cool air dryers are more energy-efficient.

Additional Considerations:

  • Cost: Hand dryers range from under $100 for basic models to over $1000 for high-tech options. Set a realistic budget before shopping.
  • Maintenance: Consider ease of filter replacement, cleaning routines, and potential repair costs.
  • Warranty: A good warranty protects your investment. Opt for longer warranties on more expensive models.
  • Style: Hand dryers come in various styles and finishes to complement your restroom's décor.

Pro Tip: When comparing hand dryers, consider decibel level (noise output). While high-speed dryers excel in drying time, they can be uncomfortably loud in certain settings.

Here's a quick comparison table to summarize key features:

Still unsure?  Consider the savings in a very simplified hand dryer vs. paper towel scenario:

Hand dryers offer significant cost savings compared to paper towels. Here's a breakdown:

Cost Savings:

  • Lower Operating Costs: Hand dryers typically use minimal electricity (often under 10 cents per dry cycle). In contrast, paper towels require constant refilling, which translates to ongoing expenses.
  • Reduced Waste Removal: Eliminating paper towels minimizes waste disposal fees, especially in high-traffic areas.

Savings Calculation:

It's difficult to provide an exact figure as factors like traffic volume and paper towel quality vary. However, here's a general comparison:

  • Paper Towels: Assume a high-traffic restroom dispenses 200 paper towels daily at 1 cent per sheet. This translates to $730 per year (200 towels * $0.01/towel * 365 days).
  • Hand Dryer: Considering a usage cost of 5 cents per dry cycle (on the higher end) and 1000 dries per day, the annual cost would be $1825 (1000 dries * $0.05/dry * 365 days).

Savings Potential: In this scenario, the hand dryer offers a potential saving of $5475 over a year ($730 paper towel cost - $1825 hand dryer cost). This is a significant saving, but remember, the initial hand dryer purchase price needs to be factored in.

Environmental Positives:

  • Reduced Paper Production: Paper towel production requires cutting down trees, consuming water and energy. Hand dryers eliminate this environmental impact.
  • Less Landfill Waste: Millions of tons of used paper towels end up in landfills, taking years to decompose. Hand dryers significantly reduce this waste stream.
  • Lower Carbon Footprint: Paper towel production and transportation contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Hand dryers minimize this impact.

Green Choice: Hand Dryers

Overall, hand dryers are the greener option. They reduce the environmental impact associated with paper production, waste disposal, and energy consumption. While the initial cost of a hand dryer might be higher, the long-term savings and environmental benefits make them a more sustainable choice.
