Before you go searching for the best hand dryers, it’s important that you have a few things in mind. For example, you should know how many paper towels you use, as well as how much you pay for electricity right now. Then, you’ll be able to make a more informed decision about costs.
How Much Usage
The first step is to determine how much the dryer will be used. You want something that can handle what you require without being too much. For example, if you choose the heavy-duty dryer, you may not need such a machine because you only have three or four employees in the building. Likewise, a mini or regular dryer may not be sufficient for 300+ people using it each day.
On average, a typical office worker uses the restroom 4.5 times each day. You would calculate by multiplying 4.5 by the number of staff and how many hand dryers you have.
Low-Traffic
You’ll find many low-traffic options available for companies that have fewer than 20 employees and don’t let customers use the restroom. However, this option isn’t suitable for most business owners.
Medium/High Traffic
The best dryer is one that will last a long time (seven to ten years) with the use/abuse it will take. For most companies, that requires a high-traffic dryer in each restroom. Likewise, you may want to install more than one dryer in each bathroom to cut down on wait times.
Other Considerations
The best hand dryers will also come with the features you desire, such as HEPA filtration, fast drying times, and more. You’ll find many models and styles from which to choose, which means you should research each one and make comparisons. You can also create a list of important factors and ensure that the dryer you choose has most of them.
