In a time when hygiene, speed and sustainability are key, choosing the right hand dryer is more important than ever. Thanks to technological developments, there will be countless models available in 2024 – each with their own strengths. But what should you pay attention to in order to make a well-considered choice? We have listed the most important points for you.
1. Hygiene first
In public spaces, hand hygiene is crucial to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses. Therefore, choose a hand dryer with a HEPA filter that purifies the air before it is blown onto the hands. Models with touchless sensors reduce the risk of cross-contamination by eliminating the need for users to touch anything.
2. Speed and ease of use
In busy washrooms, every second counts. Choose a powerful hand dryer that dries hands in less than 10 seconds. This prevents queues and increases the flow of your facility – efficiency that counts most in hospitality, retail and offices.
3. Sustainability and energy consumption
A modern hand dryer uses up to 80% less energy than traditional models or paper towels. Choose energy-efficient appliances with a long lifespan, made from recyclable or sustainable materials. Good for the environment and for your long-term costs.
4. Noise level
In environments where silence is valued – such as restaurants, hotels or offices – a silent hand dryer is an absolute added value. Therefore, pay attention to the number of decibels (dB) that a device produces. There are models on the market today that are powerful and silent.
5. Easy maintenance
Choose a model that is easy to clean and where maintenance can be carried out quickly and easily. Hand dryers with smooth surfaces and a smart internal structure not only save time, but also contribute to a more hygienic sanitary area.
6. Price-quality ratio
The cheapest option is not always the best investment. Choose a hand dryer that will pay for itself in the long run thanks to lower energy costs, less waste and a longer lifespan. A slightly higher purchase price can save you money in the long run.
