Pocket hand dryer - why is it worth choosing this type?

08-04-2019

A hand dryer is not only a stylish, but also an efficient solution. It allows for drying hands in just a few seconds, while also saving money. It's no wonder that this device can be found in the majority of corporate, public, and sometimes even private restrooms. In this text, we will convince you of the benefits of a hand dryer, specifically the pocket hand dryer.

Why should an electric hand dryer be in every company?

An automatic hand dryer should be a basic equipment in every public restroom, school bathroom, and even in the bathroom of a company office. There are many arguments in favor of an electric bathroom hand dryer. The main one for all entrepreneurs will certainly be cost reduction with increased effectiveness. This can be easily demonstrated by comparing the costs of an automatic hand dryer with paper towels. After taking into account the expenses for constantly replenishing paper towels, cleaning them, purchasing bags, and waste disposal costs, we can save up to 2000 PLN annually when using an electric hand dryer. Therefore, even if a company has to spend more initially on purchasing electric hand dryers, in the long run, this solution will bring significant savings. However, it should be noted that such an electric bathroom hand dryer will work best in a place where it will be used by tens to hundreds of people.

The electric hair dryer for the bathroom is also a more aesthetic solution, as it allows you to avoid the unsightly, scattered towels in the company bathroom (the problem is solved by paper towel dispensers). Moreover, the hand dryer itself can be a stylish, designer gadget that you can show off.

Managers in companies should pay special attention to the most modern type of hand dryer, which is the electric pocket hand dryer. These are currently the most professional hand dryers, which can shorten the drying time by up to 30 seconds - to just a few seconds. At the same time, it is the most effective device. Additionally, the use of such a modern automatic bathroom dryer increases the prestige of the room.

Pocket hand dryers - the perfect choice!

Why is it worth choosing a pocket hand dryer when choosing an electric hand dryer? The answer to this question can be summed up in three short points:

1. The pocket hand dryer is faster

Drying time with such an electric dryer is only 7 to 15 seconds. In the case of traditional electric dryers, dry hands are obtained in a time ranging from about 25 to even 40 seconds. Why does this happen? The pocket dryer works based on a completely different technology. We put our hands into a space that resembles a pocket, and there the dryer simply removes water from the surface of the hands using thin streams of air, which are shot out from many nozzles, instead of drying them by evaporating water.

2. The pocket hand dryer is more environmentally friendly

According to the manufacturer, Dyson Airblade hand dryers produce up to 78% less CO2 than some other dryers and up to 78% less compared to paper towels.

3. The pocket hand dryer is cheaper

It all depends on the power of the electric dryer, which in practice translates into electricity consumption. In these ordinary electric hand dryers, the power ranges from 1200 to 2500 W.

However, in the case of pocket hand dryers, it ranges from 1000 to 1800 W. Most dryers also have the option to turn off the heater, which can reduce power consumption by half. And if you add to this the shorter operating time compared to traditional dryers and the automatic shut-off, the savings increase significantly. It is also a cheaper solution than using paper towels, as mentioned before.

Which pocket hand dryer to choose?

Dyson pocket hand dryer

One of the most highly regarded manufacturers of electric hand dryers is Dyson. It was the Dyson Airblade dB pocket hand dryer that was the first of its kind on the market. The manufacturer advertises it as the "fastest and most hygienic hand dryer". The Dyson dryer dries hands with a stream of air at a speed of 690 km/h, passing through a HEPA filter along the way, which captures 99% of air pollutants.

Merida pocket hand dryer

A good alternative to the Dyson hand dryer may be the Merida hand dryer. Merida is one of the most popular manufacturers of bathroom and toilet equipment and accessories. The brand's logo can be seen in public toilets throughout Poland. When it comes to hand dryers, Merida offers several models, such as the Merida Eco hand dryer Jet equipped with a high-efficiency brushless BLDC motor, which generates an air stream with a speed of 400 km/h for an electric hand dryer. In the case of this hand dryer model, the heater can also be turned off, resulting in a 50% decrease in power consumption and, consequently, savings. Merida also has another model of electric hand dryer. It has a slightly lower power, and the heater can also be turned off, but the hand drying time is only 8 seconds.

Faneco hand dryer

There is also the Faneco Orkan hand dryer available on the market. This hand dryer is also equipped with a HEPA filter. It stands out with an air speed of 106 m/s. It has two automatically activated photocells.

In the end, each of these models also differs in terms of finishing and design, which is also important when purchasing bathroom equipment.

Other manufacturers of pocket dryers include Starmix, Warmtec, and SpaceLink.

It is also interesting to note that for pocket hand dryers, we can purchase fragrance inserts for hand dryers.

Electric hand dryers, due to their cost-effectiveness, convenience, and eco-friendliness, are the best solution for an office. An even better option would be to use a pocket dryer, which works faster and is energy-efficient.
