Buying Hand Dryers in 2023 could be quite a daunting task, with many different aspects and desires in consideration. First things first, most everyone will have a different range of possibilities and outcomes based on their wants or needs, each of these areas, such: as colour, price, running cost etc. Could be broadly split into two crucial areas. Empirical needs and Subjective needs. Firstly, empirical needs are the measurable things, overall drying time, running cost on your average electricity usage, warranty, and all numeric measurements that are crucial for many specifiers. Secondly, the overall look and feel of the dryer, the colour finish, whether it's heated, whether hands go in or underneath the dryer, the splashback panel or waste tray, these could be considered more subjective means of assessing what sort of dryer is best for you. For those confident that they desire a "hands-in" style, we think we have found 5 really top dryers that could be your perfect fit.
