Can't Find Your Hand Dryer?
This is intentionally a focused specification center rather than a document dump of every hand dryer we've ever sold. It covers leading models and the documents customers request most often.
For another model, find the dryer in our commercial hand dryer catalog. Individual product pages contain additional model-specific information and available documents.
Hand Dryer Specification FAQ
Why aren't hand dryer sound ratings directly comparable?
Manufacturers don't always measure or report sound the same way. Some publish sound power, while others publish sound pressure measured at a specific distance. Operating settings and whether hands are present can also affect the result. Review the test method before treating two decibel figures as a direct comparison.
Why does one hand dryer have several wattage or amperage ratings?
Electrical consumption can change with supply voltage, heater setting, motor speed or operating mode. A model such as XLERATOR can also operate with its heating element reduced or turned off, while the Dyson Airblade 9kJ offers Max and Eco modes.
What does universal voltage mean on a hand dryer?
A universal-voltage dryer is designed to accept a specified range of supply voltages without requiring a different dryer model for each voltage within that range. It does not mean every hand dryer on this page can be connected to any voltage. Always check the exact model's electrical specification.
Can I use this table to plan the electrical installation?
Use the table for comparison and preliminary planning. Before installation, your electrician should review the manufacturer's current technical and installation documents for the exact model and voltage being installed.
Where can I find specifications for a model not listed here?
Visit the individual product page or browse our commercial hand dryers. This page focuses on leading models rather than every dryer in the ProDryers catalog.
Technical note: Specifications on this page are provided as a comparison resource and are based on manufacturer-published technical information reviewed in September 2026. Manufacturer specifications can change. Always use the current technical and installation documents for the exact model being specified or installed.
