World Dryer Airforce: J-974

                                 

---

The World Dryer AirForce hand dryer is our top pick.  It's a high-speed dryer that is also extremely energy efficient and comes at a good price.  It's not as loud as many of the other high-speed dryers, but it is louder than most standard dryers such as the Model A.

• High Speed Dryer - 12 second dry time

• Low Energy - 1100 watts, combined with the fast dry time makes it possibly the most energy efficient dryer available anywhere today

• Greenspec listed (all hand dryers help the environment, but this one is so efficient!)

• Steritouch (TM) anti-microbial - not only in the white paint so it will never wear out, but also embedded in the internal components.  We don't think that other dryers that make the claim to be "the most hygienic dryer" are actually as clean as this one.

• Sleek modern design that is easy to clean with no crevices to hold in dirt.  Did we say hygienic?

• Comfort: this dryer has 11 air outlets, so while it is a high speed dryer, it does not have the same single jet of air which we find to be a bit jarring.
  

•  sound level: at 85.1 dB with hands present, the Airforce is quieter than some other high-speed dryers.
