Dyson Airblade Wash+Dry PLUMBING
Dyson
The Dyson Airblade Wash+Dry hand dryer is re-engineered to be up to 39 percent quieter than the original Dyson Airblade
Tap Dryer. The machine has an automatic faucet and sensor-operated hand dryer that dries hands in 14 seconds. HEPA filtration removes 99.97 percent of particles the size of bacteria as small as 0.3 microns from the air. Combining the faucet and dryer over the sink frees up space for additional stalls, and reduces fall hazards from spilled water. The machine promotes eco-friendly practices by using less water and CO2 per dry and with a 1000W motor (reduced from 1400W).
Judges’ Comments: Nice, improved handwashing and drying device with good ecological and user-safety features.
