How quickly can a hand dryer dry your hands?

Noise

All of our hand dryers are rigorously tested by us against our competitors and many have been given the 'Extra Quiet' seal of approval. The new Elerillo ECO Hand Dryer produces just 69 decibles and is available at an extremely competitive price point.

A disadvantage of many of the faster hand dryers that were produced a few years ago is the tremendous amount of noise that they would create, disturbing customers and employees in the process. This led to many restaurants, offices and hotels either sticking with paper towel dispensers or using lesser quality old fashioned hand dryers.

With the arrival of sleek units like the Gorilla Ultra and TOTO dryers, that offer stylish design, hygienic water collection and quieter sound. The noise of older designs of blade dryer, at 84dB are making as much noise as a diesel-powered lorry while new quieter models at the top of the market are a mere 54dB – the sound of a quiet conversation.

Hygiene

With all of our top picks for 2020 drying hands in less than 15 seconds it is now easier than ever for users to make sure they are leaving with their hands completely dry. This is incredibly important during the current COVID-19 pandemic, as wet hands can become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria

The Sterillo Germ Killing Hand Dryer, is a truly groundbreaking piece of technology, capable of destroying 99.96% of airborne germs and bacteria. The Sterillo utilises UVC light technology, proven to kill harmful bacteria and sterilise the surrounding airspace. It has been proven highly effective in removing viruses, including strains of the coronavirus.

Harnessing the power of germicidal light rays, the Gorillo Junior’s integrated UV-C lamps cast a sterilising glow over the hands as it dries them, rendering the majority of bacteria and other harmful organisms harmless.

What’s more, the TOTO, Gorillo Junior and Vulcan have inbuilt HEPA filter catching over 99% of hazardous germs and particles of human waste that float in the air of even the most carefully cleaned of washrooms, limiting the spread of harmful diseases. This means that hands are dried with clean, freshly filtered air every single time.

Cost / Economy

Hand Dryers Cost / Economy

The Gorillo range of hand dryers are some of the best value for money options available on the market today. Competing with the best known blade hand dryers in terms of performance at just a fraction of the price.

Described as ‘Fierce but budget friendly’, the Gorillo Junior still dries hands in 10 seconds and boasts an inbuilt HEPA filter, germicidal sterilising UV-C lamps and a concealed water collection tank, enabling stagnant water to be collected without splashes or spillages. It also features double the usual number of infrared sensors, meaning it can detect hands from different directions simultaneously. While some conventional dryers can cut out or fail to respond, the Gorillo Junior is laser-accurate and will detect hands every time.

The most affordable hand dryer on the market right now is the Kangarillo 2 ECO Hand Dryer. Super smart, its ECO Air Sensor will detect the ambient temperature of a washroom, then automatically adjust the airflow temperature to keep running costs right down. The Kangarillo 2 uses as little as 0.6kW per use, making it a financially intelligent choice for offices, bars, restaurants and other busy commercial premises where large overheads can cause even larger headaches.

At the top end of the market, the TOTO TYC424 is the quietest hand dryer in the world, producing just 54 decibels. It also dries hands in just 10 seconds, accompanied with buil in drip trays trapping waste water and uses hygiene technology to ensure hands are not only dry but clean a well. The TOTO TYC424 is matched in cost to many other big brand blade dryers on the market, and while some people may be ready to invest in these for their state of the art qualities, many businesses budgets may call for something with a smaller price tag.

Whereas in the past looking for a product with half the price tag meant you’re also getting half the quality, that is no longer the case. Producing as little as 58 decibels (little more than the background music in a smart restaurant), the TOTO TYC324W is everything the industry has come to expect from the pioneering Japanese manufacturer. This stylish hands-under blade dryer is made from scratch resistant resin and features a contoured water collection tray to defend hand washers from flying water droplets. All TOTO hand dryers make use of brushless motors, giving them around ten times the lifespan of standard brushed motors. At nearly half the price of the TYC424, The TYC324W is a fantastic option at a mid range price point.

If you are looking for an option at a lower price point than the TOTO models, then the Vulcan and the aforementioned Gorillo Junior and Kangarillo 2 are the ideal solutions to still receive impressive functionality. These models all offer dry hands in under 15 seconds and favourably priced against the comptetion. These hand dryers come in slightly noisier at 73 decibels, around the same volume as a vacuum cleaner, however, still much quieter than older fashioned models that are close to the noise of a diesel powered lorry.

For the fashionable ‘hands in’ dryer it’s hard to compete with the TOTO TYC424 and Gorillo Ultra. As the old saying goes, true beauty is on the inside and these dryers may look the part but more importantly they’ve got the technology to match their appearance. With competitive results in hygiene, drying time and volume it’s hard to deny that these dryers are giving the best performance on the market.
