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?

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:
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.
