Airblade™ technology

The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer works very differently to warm air hand dryers. Air is forced through two continuous apertures the width of an eyelash – generating sheets of air travelling at over 640km/h that scrape water from hands like a windshield wiper in just 12 seconds.

The problem with other hand dryers.

Warm air hand dryers are too slow – some take as long as 44 seconds to work. It’s because of their motors. They only create enough airflow to remove just a little of the water from your hands, while slowly evaporating the rest. And they can’t filter bacteria from washroom air before it reaches your hands, which is unhygienic.

The problem with paper towels.

Paper towels are expensive to buy, re-stock and dispose of – and they generate landfill. For the cost of just one paper towel, the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer can dry up to 23 pairs of hands. That means immediate savings, and it can help to reduce your organisation’s carbon footprint.

*Calculations based on uses per day for 12 months, an average cost of $0.01 per paper towel and 2 paper towels per dry, and an electricity charge of $0.09 per kWh.

The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer

The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer works in just 12 seconds – scraping water from your hands like a windshield wiper. It’s the fastest hand dryer, and it uses up to 80% less energy than warm air hand dryers.

The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer is hygienic, too. It includes a HEPA filter to capture and eliminate over 99.9% of bacteria from the air used to dry your hands. It's the only hand dryer that's certified hygienic by independent public health specialist NSF International.

 

Dyson digital motor

The Dyson digital motor is smaller, lighter and more powerful than a conventional motor. It spins at up to 81,000rpm – five times faster than the engine of a racing car. At that speed, it can suck in 32 litres of washroom air every second.
