The Biodrier 3D Smart Dry FAQ Biodrier 3D Smart Dry Hand Dryer - Stainless Steel

It's been some years since the launch of the Biodrier 3D Smart Dry, we collated our questions of the time to Mike Hentschel (the sales manager from Biodrier) with a few more, specifically about the new dryer:

The new Smart Dry hand dryer looks pretty good - what are its best features?

I must say that the Smart Dry is one of the most exciting extensions to the range so far, this is a real winner for situations where you need all the benefits of an energy-efficient hand dryer, hygiene and durability:

Key features and benefits  are:

  • The brushless motor, which should mean the motor never fails and has no reason to shut down.
  • When the ambient temperature is 200 C, the dryer uses just 500 watts, so it is one of the lowest wattages on the market. It should be comparable to the Airdri Quantum or the EL600
  • An intelligent heat element that adjusts itself depends on the external temperature, i.e. at room temperature 200 c it will only be 500 watts.  We often get asked about the heating element blowing cold air as this is not preferred by users as it reduces the user experience, especially with female users. The 3D Smart Dry gets the temp right each time for improved user experience.
  • Filter - carbon-activated antibacterial filtration - more hygienic than the basic hands-under dryer.
  • Tri-directional air flow- faster and better drying, which means more hygienic and quicker.

 

We see the 3D Smart Dry as a clear competitor to the XLerator - which existing dryer(s) do you think it will compete with?

'I am pitching it against the Dyson V with regard to functionality.  But the central unique selling point is the brushless motor and intelligent heater.  This dryer will be a workhorse for high-use areas where high hygiene levels are required. I predict that we will see these still running in ten years’ time: they are that good'

In the years that have passed since this interview, the 3d Smart Dry has gone on to undergo some design changes, the above-pictured image being the newer stainless steel variant. We think that this dryer is a really quality option for those purchasers seeking the smart features of something like the Kangarillo 2 ECO range, with a slightly larger emphasis on lasting power with the Biodrier extended 5-year warranty. In addition to this, Biodrier has managed to secure WEEE and Greenspec approval, as well as these being UKCA and CE approved. We can't wait to see what Biodrier have in store for their next product releases.
