Pocket hand dryers are the future

06-03-2018

Many people are not fond of hand dryers and often express the opinion that it is better to dry hands on pants because drying takes forever. Moreover, hand dryers are accused of spreading bacteria by blowing hot air into the humid environment of the bathroom. While this claim can be debated regarding traditional push-button and automatic dryers, it is different for jet dryers.

What are the benefits of jet dryers?

Quick and effective hand drying

Every type of dryer has one primary function - to dry hands. The same goes for jet dryers, and they perform this task in a very short time. Hand dryers generally dry hands within 15-30 seconds. Jet dryers take only 7 to 15 seconds. This short drying time is due to a completely different drying method. Jet hand dryers remove water from hands with a powerful and very narrow stream of air instead of drying water with a prolonged stream of warm air. Below is an image showing a graphic about Dyson dryers, which are currently among the best on the market. Dyson hand dryers can be found in many modern facilities such as airports and shopping centers.

Dyson dryers are the flagship example of jet dryers. Other suppliers' models, including Faneco dryers, Merida, and Starmix have also appeared on the market.

Energy efficiency

The average power of regular hand dryers ranges from 1200 to 2500 W. In the case of jet dryers, it is from 1000 to 1800 W. Additionally, if you turn off the heater in such a dryer - which is usually possible - the power consumption drops by half, meaning a 1200 W dryer with the heater off consumes only 600 W. Also, remember that the drying time for a jet dryer is half that of a regular dryer. Considering all these factors, it is safe to assume that jet dryers are four times more energy-efficient than regular dryers.

Greater hygiene

All jet dryers are activated automatically via a motion sensor or infrared sensor. This is definitely more hygienic than touching a dryer used by hundreds of people daily. Another factor improving bathroom hygiene is that jet dryers blow cooler air in smaller quantities and mainly within the casing. This reduces the spread of any bacteria. Moreover, you can always turn off the heater, and then the dryer will blow cold air, which does not promote the growth of microorganisms.

Jet dryers as a long-term investment

It is undeniable that jet dryers are several times more expensive than regular dryers. This is due to the size of such a dryer and the advanced technology it features. And it is precisely this technology that makes these dryers so economical. As mentioned earlier, jet dryers are generally twice as energy-efficient and dry hands twice as fast, indicating that they are four times more economical than other dryers. When purchasing a jet dryer, which is several times more expensive than other models, you need to spend more money initially, but over the years of use - which can be up to 13 years for good dryers - the maintenance cost of such a dryer will be four times lower. It is easy to calculate that after some time, the spent money pays back, and every subsequent month brings more savings.
