Re: Hand dryer

I really like the blade style ones. better than the older versions of driers in my opinion. often have a drip tray that needs emptying.

This looks good

Re: Hand dryer

I use these ones from screwfix https://www.screwfix.com/p/bluedry-eco- ... -8kw/6106j . Then we get our sparky to take out the old one and replace. You can get them in brushed steel so they look a bit posher.

Re: Hand dryer

We've put a few of these in recently https://www.screwfix.com/p/biodrier-3d- ... 800w/376jx

been very happy with them, adjust their power depending on room temp so quite energy efficient.

Yep, likewise. Switched all mine over to this one. Don’t need anything more expensive.

That’s interesting because I really don’t like blade style ones. The theory is good but the practice I just don’t like.

That's fair enough, I think the old style ones are a bit rubbish because where does the water go when you blow it all off? My place the toilets are pretty high volume and by the end of break the floors were sopping, which then affected the sink units as theyre wet more often than not haha!

Im with you Nail, I dont like them either. My problem is that my hands dont fit in them, my fingers always touch the bottom of them

We are after some new dryers and were thinking about these ones. Does anyone near to Durham or Newcastle have any?
