Excel Dryer XL-BW XLERATOR White Hand Dryer

The Excel Dryer XL-BW is the white epoxy cover version of the original, heated XLERATOR® Hand Dryer. Unlike the XL-BW-ECO, the XL-BW model includes a built-in heating element for a warmer, more comfortable user experience and slightly faster dry times of 8 to 10 seconds. This model is one of the most popular choices in the XLERATOR line because of its balance of speed, efficiency, and user comfort.
