Electric hand dryers have become an integral attribute of decent catering establishments. Their use saves the financial resources of the administration, eliminating the need to purchase paper towels, and also speeds up the process of eliminating excess moisture in the hands of visitors to cafes and restaurants. The most popular at present are hand dryers of the well-known English corporation for the production of household appliances Dyson. Today we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the goods of the mentioned brand, and also highlight the main features of the technical components of the device, considering in parallel the characteristics of the top models.
About company
The history of Dyson began back in 1978. It was during this period that its founder, James Dyson, created the latest type of dust filter - a cyclone - separator. Having concluded a later bargain with the Japanese manufacturer Apex, under the terms of which he agreed to the production of equipment using his own development, an unprofessional “inventor” received considerable income.
Understanding the feasibility of a long-term investment of finance, Dyson decides to use the proceeds to create his own company of the same name. And does not fail. Four years after its founding, in 1996, the "brainchild" of James took a leading position in the British consumer market for household appliances.
Having gained worldwide fame thanks to the production of unique cyclone vacuum cleaners, Dyson does not stop and creates an innovative product - a hand dryer with a high power rating and an integrated HEPA - fine filter. Another invention of the English corporation caused no less excitement from buyers, which encouraged it to launch mass production of equipment of the segment in question.
Today, decades after the founding of the company in England, Dyson is rightfully considered one of the most reliable and, therefore, sought-after manufacturers of high-speed hand dryers, which encourages them to constantly improve their products.
About product
Devices for removing excess moisture from the hands of Dyson externally may have some differences. Depending on the user's preference and the free area of the room in which the equipment is planned to be used, the “drying equipment” can be a separate device mounted on the wall, or it can be a multifunctional mixer with which you can not only wash your hands, but also dry them with powerful jets air.
The main feature of Dyson products is the AirBlade technology they use. According to this system, hand drying with such devices is non-contact, which maximizes the hygiene of the process. “Smart” infrared sensors not only respond to the presence of hands inside the structure, but also accurately determine their location, “coordinating” the air flow without long delays and with corresponding power.
Moreover, despite the technical characteristics of AirBlade technology associated with blowing air at a speed of up to 690 km / h through micro-holes with a diameter of 0.3 mm, the English manufacturer was able to minimize the noise created by the functional elements during operation, comparing it with the volume of the devices of its “competitors”.
In addition to the system described above, the differences inherent in Dyson hand dryers from goods from other manufacturers can rightfully be attributed to:
- digital engine control;
- minimal impact on the environment;
- NSF approval;
- HACCAP certification
- built-in HEPA filter;
- the fastest time for drying hands (on average 10 - 12 seconds).
Of course, all of the above features can no doubt be attributed to the advantages of using Dyson technology. Among them, we can also note:
- durability of materials used in production and durability of the “dryer” design;
- a high degree of hygiene in the process of using the device, due to its proximity;
- a significant reduction in costs, consisting in the absence of the need to spend money on the regular purchase of paper towels, which are generally irrationally used by guests of public catering establishments;
- "Extended" period of warranty service.
However, do not console yourself with the illusions about the perfection of hand dryers manufactured by an English company. Such devices, like any equipment, have a number of shortcomings. How important they are in a particular situation is up to the buyer to decide:
- high price;
- the need to install most device models exclusively with the help of special service departments;
- easily soiled outer surface of the apparatus;
- Consumption of significant amounts of electricity during regular operation.
