The Dyson Airblade AB11 is a wall - mount hand dryer that combines tap and hand - drying functions. It offers two models, allowing you to wash and dry your hands right at the sink. The Airblade Wash + Dry automatically switches between water and air, eliminating the need to move to a separate drying area. This means less water drips on the floor and saves valuable wall and floor space. It costs as low as $44 to run per year, provides touch - free operation, comes with standard HEPA filtration, and can dry your hands in just 14 seconds, creating a cleaner and more hygienic washroom. Key features include a standard HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns from the air. It has a touch - free design, a 14 - second dry time, low running costs, up to 98% less expensive than single - use paper towels, a small carbon footprint, an 80 dBA noise level, and is made of tough stainless steel. It also has an automatic water flush to reduce water stagnation, saves space, is certified for food preparation areas, and is eligible for LEEDv4 and WELL Building Standard credits. It's easy to service and comes with a 5 - year parts and labor warranty.
Using your Dyson Airblade AB11 is a breeze. Simply place your hands under the tap to wash them, and the dryer will automatically switch to air mode to dry them. There's no need to touch anything, thanks to the touch - free operation. When it comes to running costs, keep in mind that as of October 2023, the average electricity price is $0.13/kWh. You can visit www.dyson.com/calcs for more calculations. The dry time of 14 seconds is determined using Dyson test method 769 based on NSF P335 with a measurement of 0.1g residual moisture. For maintenance, the HEPA filter should be checked regularly. Since it captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, a clean filter is essential for good performance. The unit is made of stainless steel, which is tough and robust, but it's still a good idea to wipe it down occasionally to keep it looking great. Also, remember that the automatic water flush activates after 24 hours to reduce water stagnation. If you're using it in a food preparation environment, you can rest assured as it's certified by HACCP International. With a 5 - year parts and labor warranty, you can rely on Dyson's support if you encounter any issues.
