Why do we put up with products
that don’t work properly?
In 1907, paper towels were introduced
to washrooms. The electric hand dryer
made its first appearance in 1948.
But both have changed little since –
they can still be expensive, unhygienic
and harmful to the environment.
At Dyson, our engineers didn’t think
that was good enough. So in 2006,
they put a century of poor performing
hand drying methods to rest – with
™
the invention of Airblade
technology.

The problems
with paper towels
Paper towels are expensive,
have a high impact on the
environment and cause extra
washroom maintenance
through mess and blockages.
And because dispensers are
often found empty, leaving no
way to dry hands, paper towels
can create hygiene issues
beyond the washroom.
Did you know?
Ensuring hands are dry is crucial
for maintaining hygiene levels,
as damp hands can spread up
to 1,000 times more bacteria
to the surfaces they touch.

The problems with
other hand dryers
05 06Dyson Airblade™ hand dryers
Warm air dryers
Warm air dryers are slow.
Which means they’re energy hungry,
expensive to run and unhygienic.
Dry times can take up to 43 seconds,
so many users give up before their
hands are dry – risking increased
spread of bacteria.
Jet dryers
Other jet dryers might look like
a Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer,
but when it comes to performance,
there’s no comparison. Thanks to
weak motors, most other jet dryers
can’t generate the fast airflow
needed to dry hands quickly.
They can also lack the power
required to draw the air through
a HEPA filter.
Have you ever looked inside a drain tank?
Some hand dryers collect waste water
using drain tanks. But these are
unhygienic – providing the perfect
breeding ground for bacteria.
Drain tanks must be emptied and
cleaned regularly – adding time and
effor t to the washroom maintenance
process, and risking spillage of
waste water during disposal.
So most other jet dryers aren’t just
slower than Airblade
™
technology,
they’re less hygienic too.
Did you know?
Public health specialists NSF state
th a t to be c e r tif i e d as hyg ienic,
a hand dryer must dry hands
in 15 seconds or less.
Did you know?
In recent te s t ing, D y s o n
microbiologists detected greater
le vels of b a c t eria in a drain tank
than levels that can be found in
the average household toilet.

Bacteria and viruses in washrooms
can cause colds, flu, sickness, diarrhoea

have HEPA filters installed as standard,

Other hand dryers are too slow
Testing based on NSF Protocol P335 shows that
most other hand dryers are much slower than their
manufacturers claim– with dry times based on drying
hands without a HEPA filter. Many people give up when
using a slow hand dryer. But damp hands can spread
up to 1,000 times more bacteria than dry hands.
Dyson hand dryers are fast
Testing based on NSF Protocol P335 shows
that Dyson Airblade™ hand dryers are fast.
Every second, up to 35 litres of air is forced

Hygienically drying hands is
as important as washing them
Bacteria and viruses deposited by
hands onto surfaces can survive
for several hours. When others
touch these contaminated
surfaces, they can be transferred.
Damp hands can spread up to
1,000 times more bacteria than
dry hands. It’s why it’s important
that hands are dried properly.
The most hygienic hand dryer
Dyson Airblade
use HEPA filters. 99.9% of bacteria
and viruses in the washroom air
are captured. So hands are dried
in 12 seconds or less u sing cle a n e r
air, not dirty air. Both the Dyson
Airblade V hand dryer and the
Dyson Airblade dB hand dryer
contain an antibacterial additive
which can help prevent the
growth of bacteria.
™
hand dryers
No drain tank
When you dry your hands with
a Dyson Airblade V hand dryer
or Dyson Airblade dB hand dryer,
waste water is designed to drip
onto the floor where it evaporates –
so bacteria dry out and perish.
But some hand dryers use drain
tanks to collect waste water –
providing the perfect breeding
ground for bacteria.
That’s unhygienic.

The environmental

From cutting down trees, through

using paper towels has a significant
impact on the environment.
Felling trees
Trees are a major source
of pulp for virgin paper

Transportation
Once trees are felled they
need to be transported from
the forest to the mill.
Mix with water
Lots of water and energy
are needed to make paper.
Pulping and bleaching
Chemicals are also used
in the bleaching process.
Maintenance
Paper towel dispensers
need constant restocking.
Disposal
Most used paper towels
cannot be recycled. They have
to be disposed of. Used paper
towels, packaging and bin

A different approach
It all began with James Dyson himself,
who wondered if a vacuum cleaner
really needed that bag. Later, D yson
engineers discovered hand dryers
could dry hands without heat.
And fans didn’t have to use
blades to cool you down.
At Dyson, we’ve been challenging
the conventions of existing technology
for over 20 years. Our engineers use
this approach every day – helping
us invent new machines that simply
work better. And we’re only just
getting started.

Warming moist bacteria

Damp hands can spread up

Touch-free operation
The hand dryer must start

When are dry hands dry?
Here’s how they test it.
1
Take three male and

Place hands under dryer 5cm

to manufacturer’s instructions.
If these instructions include
rubbing then rub hands at a rate
of two times per five se conds.
2
Fold pap er towel once,
place on digital scales
and record weight.
6
Once air begins to flow from
dryer star t to rub and dry
hands. Commence drying
proces s by rubbing palms
together twice.
3
Place both hands in water
contain er up to level of wris t
crease for five seconds. Rub
hands in the water to remove
trappe d air and bubbles.
7
Continue drying process
by rolling hands twice.
4
Remove hands from container
and let water drip f rom hands
for five seconds.
8
Continue drying process by
interlocking and unlocking
hands twice.
9101112
Remove excess water from
hands (between fingers and
wrist) w ith paper towel until
hands feel dry. Roll towel into
a ball and place on scales
within five seconds.
Re-weigh the towel
and record the weight.
Repea t the test for all six
