Home / Tekflo® Blog / Is A Powerful Hand Dryer Still Efficient?

Tekflo® has a broad range of different powerful hand dryer models.

Specifying a powerful hand dryer has obvious advantages, namely, helping visitors to your bathroom space dry their hands much faster. However, we live in a world that values sustainability and energy efficiency, with many businesses, whatever the sector, taking steps to create a more eco-friendly space with the products they specify. So, with hand dryers, can you have it both ways? Can a powerful hand dryer still be energy efficient? At Tekflo®, we believe you can. We have many high-power hand dryer models that have energy-saving features. In this article, we explore our range of powerful hand dryer options and how they can help your bathroom space save energy. Let’s take a look…

Power Switching Modes

Many of our hand dryer models have power switching modes, reducing the wattage by altering the motor speed and heating element. One of our best models for energy efficiency is our appropriately titled Eco hand dryer. The Eco hand dryer has different settings for both hot and cold air, giving you more autonomy in using your energy. With strong air on a hot setting, the Eco uses 1250W, reducing to 1000W if switched to softer air. By comparison, with strong air on a cool setting, the wattage reduces further to 600W, and further again to 420W if switched to soft air.

This range of power switching options is also available with our Edge hand dryer, giving you the ability to reduce the power from 2000W to 620W. Our Ultra and Blade options also have similar, but slightly simpler, power switching abilities, so you can toggle between whether your dryer uses hot or cold air. Despite these energy-conserving features, all of our dryers are still extremely powerful considering their low-cost price point.

The Tekflo Breeze Hand Dryer

Because all of our hand dryers are powerful, you may be spoilt for choice, and undecided about which dryer is right for your space. Thankfully, at Tekflo®, we have a hand dryer model to suit any bathroom design or price point. Even our products that do not have power switching modes are still both powerful and energy efficient. Take, for example, the Breeze hand dryer, which has a minimal power consumption of just 1,100W. Despite this, it still boasts an ultra-fast drying time of just 9 seconds, the same as some of the fastest dryers in our range, such as our Advanced model.

Like the Blade hand dryer, the Breeze comes with a removable filter, helping with overall cleanliness and hygiene. Its straightforward, neat, recessed design makes it ideal for any smaller, compact bathroom spaces, or any restrooms looking for a more simplistic, industrial aesthetic.

Which Hand Dryer Is Fastest?

When it comes to power with hand dryers, speed is king. So which of our hand dryers is the fastest? The Tekflo® Blade dryer is the fastest model in our entire range, with an impressive drying time of just 8 seconds. It is also the cheapest “hands-in” dryer in the UK, priced at £339 ex VAT. For a similar dryer from some of our household name competitors, you could expect to part with thousands. At Tekflo®, we believe that high performance should not come at the expense of your bank account, which is why the Blade is one of the most popular powerful hand dryers in our range.

As stated, the Blade dryer has a simple power-switching option. On hot mode, it operates at a total of 1650w. Switching to cool made, you can reduce this to 800W. In terms of visual appeal, like many of our dryers, the Blade hand dryer can be bought in a range of different finishes, including brushed metal, silver, and white, so you can easily match the dryer to the design of your space.
