Fast Drying Keeps Traffic Moving

The last place a person wants to hang out in is in a public bathroom. As a business owner, with a high-traffic washroom, the last thing you want is a lineup because of people drying their hands.

This is where the Dyson AB12 Airblade V excels. It dries hands in about 12 seconds thanks to its Dyson digital motor V4. That means more people can move through the washroom without delay which is especially useful in restaurants, airports, offices, and schools during busy periods of the day.

The Dyson motor pulls in over 20 litres of air per second and shoots that air out at 420 mph. This high-velocity airflow essentially "wipes" the water from your hands instead of slowly evaporating it like older hand dryer models typically do.

What this means for patrons

Quick hand drying means less frustration and wasted time. Your customers and employees won't have to stand around shaking their hands or wiping them on their clothes. This fast and efficient drying experience improves their overall perception of your facility and is perceived as being quite user friendly.

The Hygienic HEPA-Filtered Air

Each Dyson Airblade V is equipped with an advanced HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of air particles including bacteria and viruses. Unlike numerous traditional warm-air dryers that only blow unfiltered washroom air, the Airblade ensures the air reaching your hands is actually clean and particle free.

The design is completely touch-free too. The dryer is activated by proximity-sensors so there's no need to press buttons. This is another key win for hygiene within a shared public space.

How this HEPA technology affects users

These days people are more hygiene conscious than ever before so when users know that the air drying their hands is clean and filtered instead of being recirculated bathroom air they feel safer and cleaner. This technology builds trust in your business and helps meet public health expectations too.

The Compact Design Saves Space

The Dyson AB12 Airblade V is just 4 inches (10 cm) deep which makes it one of the slimmest high-performance hand dryers available on the market. It's mounted through a sturdy backplate and does not require recessing which means it can be installed in just about any washroom layout including spaces with smaller stalls or wall sections where traditional dryers won't fit.

How this affects users and business owners

More space means more comfort. Narrow washrooms can feel cramped, especially when multiple people are trying to dry their hands at the same time. A slim-profile dryer like the Dyson AB12 facilitates better flow and fewer accidental bump-ins between users.

Quiet Operation With The Same Power

Compared to earlier models, the Dyson Airblade V is 30% quieter because it uses updated motor software and precision airflow engineering that reduces noise and maintains drying speed.

The noise level averages around 79 dB and is quieter than many hand dryers in the same performance class.

How this affects users

No one likes an overwhelmingly or embarrassingly loud hand dryer especially not in an office, restaurant, or school environment. Quieter washroom equipment creates a more relaxed and professional atmosphere while still delivering the expected results.

Environmentally Friendly and Cost-Efficient

Traditional paper towels will always be a needed part of a washroom but they do create a constant stream of waste and recurring costs. The Dyson Airblade V runs on just 1000 watts and requires zero consumables besides electrical energy. Year to year businesses will significantly save money by cutting paper usage, waste collection, and dispenser maintenance.

And as a side note, because the dryer uses filtered air at room temperature, there's no need for heating elements and this further reduces energy usage by eliminating a component that could otherwise harbour bacteria.

Why this matters

Environmentally conscious customers easily notice when businesses take certain steps to reduce waste. A clean and quiet hand dryer that doesn't involve piles of soggy paper towels tells customers that your business cares about sustainability and that type of consideration always leaves a positive lasting impression.

ADA Compliant and Built for Commercial Use

The Dyson AB12 is fully ADA-compliant (when installed at the correct height) and ensures accessibility for patrons with disabilities. The exterior is made from durable polycarbonate and built to withstand heavy use in high-traffic washrooms.

It also supports voltage ranges of 100 to 120V or 200 to 240V. It's adaptable for various building types and locations with varying electrical standards. We've yet to see a space where the Dyson Airblade cannot be installed.

How this affects users and business owners

Your patrons expect accessibility and so do many local/provincial and state laws. Installing hand dryers that meets accessibility standards without compromise ensures all users feel considered, comfortable and sanitary. A compliant hand dryer also protects your business from potential compliance issues in the future.
