The problem with other hand dryers

"You put your hands under other dryers, rub them a bit, then give up and wipe your hands on your trousers. It’s something that’s always annoyed me."

James Dyson

Other hand dryers

Warm air hand dryers are too slow. Some can take as long as 43 seconds to work. It's because of their motors. They can't create enough airflow to remove water from hands effectively. They're also unhygienic, sucking in dirty washroom air and blowing it back onto hands. And they still heat the air – which is expensive and not very green.

The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer

The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer works in just 10 seconds – scraping water from hands like a windscreen wiper. It’s the fastest hand dryer, powered by the unique Dyson digital motor. A HEPA filter cleans the air before blowing it onto hands, so it’s also hygienic. And it uses up to 80% less energy than warm air hand dryers.


Patented Dyson technology

Dyson engineers spent three years developing, testing and refining Airblade™ technology. You won’t find it in any other hand dryer.
