The JETBOX brand has officially released the best budget blade hand dryer for the UK market. This adds to the ‘Eco’ and the ‘Junior’ dryers and completes the JETBOX range: at least for the moment.
The increase in demand for ‘hands-in’ hand dryers has been significant over the last few years, with lots of customers wishing to buy a dryer which works in the same way as the well-known Dyson Airblade, but not willing to fork out more than £700 for each dryer. And also, to be fair to those customers, they are not necessarily looking for something which has been designed with a very high number of uses in mind.
There have been a number of cheaper hands-in blade hand dryers, but the JETBOX Blade has managed to contain all the extra features you could wish for, at an extraordinary price.
For example:
Dry Time:
The dryer uses blades of air which travel at over 200 mph. This gives a quick drying time. The manufacturers state around 10 seconds, and although drying times from manufacturers are always a little suspect (because there is no standard methodology used for the measurement) there is no question this is a fast dryer.
Noise Level:
All modern hand dryers are a lot noisier than the old generation of technology, because they rely on very fast motors. However, the Jetbox Blade is substantially quieter than the Dyson Airblade, and can be turned down even further if required by cutting the motor speed. This makes it very adaptable to lots of different environments.
Power Consumption:
As well as being able to turn down the motor setting, it is also possible to switch down the heater element. Ideal as a summer setting or in very well heated washrooms, this saves even more power.
Hygiene:
To avoid water being blasted off hands onto the washroom floor, the Blade comes with a removable tray which collects the water. If it performs 50 dries per day, you’re probably lo
oking at having to empty this only every 2 or 3 weeks.
Also, the Blade comes with a HEPA air filter which scrubs the air before blowing it onto your hands, but as a really interesting extra feature, it subjects that filter to an internal sterilising UV light to kill any bacteria.
The JETBOX Blade comes with a 2 year warranty, covering both parts and labour.
So our opinion of the JETBOX Blade is that for low - medium usage (i.e. the majority of hand dryer locations in the UK), this blade hand dryer stands out against the competition as an ideal choice. Unlike some of the other blade hand dryers available today, it also has a modern design, helped by the neutral black and white colours, and the LED indicators on the top.
