Dolphin hand dryers are built for the washrooms that give most dryers a hard time: busy public spaces, rooms that get knocked about, and refits where the space or the look is fixed before you start. The range is small, but each model has a clear job. Here is how to pick between them.
Dolphin BC230: built to take a beating
The BC230 in chrome and in white is a traditional nozzle dryer, the kind that dries both hands and face. It is sturdy, fully automatic and vandal resistant, which makes it a natural fit for pubs, restaurants and other public-facing washrooms where a dryer needs to survive rough treatment.
It is also a good like-for-like replacement for older dryers of a similar footprint, so a refit can often go straight onto the existing fixings. The trade-off is noise: this is the loudest dryer in the range, so it suits a busy washroom better than one next to an office or classroom. It carries a 5-year warranty.
Dolphin Velocity BC2001: for washrooms that need to look the part
The Velocity comes in satin stainless steel, polished steel and white. It is designed for high-volume washrooms where appearance matters as much as speed: hotels, offices and leisure venues.
The stainless construction and steel backplate add a level of vandal resistance you would not expect from a dryer this smart, and it dries in 10 seconds or under. It also carries a 5-year warranty.
Specialist installs: behind the mirror, or into the wall
Two Dolphin models solve problems most ranges do not attempt.
- The BC2003-BM fits behind a mirror, so the dryer is completely out of sight and the washroom keeps clean, uninterrupted lines at eye level. It dries in 12 to 15 seconds with low power consumption, and carries a 3-year warranty.
- The BC28-2SCA is recessed into the wall, so it takes up very little room and causes minimal splash onto surrounding walls and floors. It dries in around 10 seconds with low power consumption, and carries a 5-year warranty.
Both are worth considering at the design stage of a new washroom, since each needs the wall or mirror prepared for it.
Which Dolphin should you choose?
- A busy pub or public washroom: the BC230.
- A prestige washroom with heavy use: the Velocity BC2001.
- A design-led washroom where the dryer should disappear: the BC2003-BM.
- A tight space, or anywhere splash is a problem: the BC28-2SCA.
