Navigating the world of hand dryers can feel overwhelming with the array of models available. Yet, armed with the right knowledge, choosing the perfect fit for your business becomes much simpler. This guide is designed to provide the information you need to make a well-informed decision that matches your requirements.

Types of Hand Dryers

These “hands in” dryers excel in hygiene by using powerful jets to expel water instead of relying on warm air to evaporate it. Their enclosed design prevents water from splashing onto nearby surfaces or pooling on floors. While they often come at a higher price due to robust motors, various manufacturers offer models across different price points. For a ‘hands in dryer,’ it’s wise to ensure it includes a built-in drip tray, especially for high-traffic areas, for easy maintenance.

Automatic Hand Dryers:

The most common type, “hands under dryers,” operate through infrared sensors that detect hand movement to initiate the drying cycle. These dryers now come with adjustable heating elements to customize drying times based on washroom traffic.

Buying vs. Renting Considerations:

Deciding between purchasing and renting hand dryers involves assessing initial costs, ownership responsibilities, and maintenance needs. Renting may seem convenient, but when you calculate the rental cost over 3 or 5 years, it often surpasses the outright purchase cost. While rental companies usually handle maintenance, this contributes to increased rental fees.
