Warm Air Hand Dryers | Cool Air Hand Dryers | Hand Dryers and Heat

Non-warm air hand dryers do not include the heating element that warm air hand dryers have; this feature conserves energy.  Some of the best hand dryers on the market are hand dryers with no heating element.  The Dyson Airblade and American Dryer eXtremeAir EXT are two of the greenest hand dryers available today.  Warm air hand dryers tend to evaporate some of the water as the hands are blown dryer by the high speed and heat, while cool air hand dryers blow water off the hands. Heat is not a requirement for drying hands effectively.

A good comparison is the eXtremeAir GXT vs. the eXtremeAir EXT by American Dryer.  The GXT dries 1,000 hands at a cost of about 46 cents while the EXT dries 1,000 hands at the cost of about 18 cents.  The EXT uses only 540 watts, where the GXT uses 1500 watts.  The EXT allows 3 hand dryers on one dedicated line!  If you are looking for an energy efficient hand dryer, that dries hands in 12-15 seconds, you can't do much better than the Extreme AIR EXT by American Dryer.
