From vaccuums to kitchens , via fans and bicycle wheels , Sir James Dyson is the king of engineering design and innovation. But new jet air dryers, made by Dyson, are significantly more problematic—they launch far more viruses into the air, which linger for longer periods of time and reach much farther distances, researchers recently reported in the Journal of Applied Microbiology.

The hands do not need to be rubbed together due to the design which uses Air Knife technology to scrape the water off of both sides of the hands simultaneously. Dyson Airblade hand dryers can help you save on costs, washroom space, CO₂ and mess. Saville adds: “The paper towel is a hygienic way to dry the hands.

They were then asked to dry their hands using one of the three hand-drying methods. Dyson has said that a study claiming hand dryers such as its Airblade spread 1,300 times more germs than paper towels is misleading” scaremongering by tissue manufacturers. The Dyson V Airblade is an innovative automatic cold air hand dryer that creates a high velocity sheet of air that dries your hands in just 10 seconds.

The Dyson Airblade is also certified by the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation). This sheet of air acts like an invisible windshield wiper, wiping moisture from hands leaving them completely dry in 12 seconds – a full 10 seconds faster than any other hand dryer.

Redway and his co-author Patrick Kimmitt asked study participants to dip their gloved hands into a liquid containing high levels of MS2 — approximately the viral load that might be observed in the feces of a person suffering from an acute norovirus (or stomach bug”) infection.

In 2008, the Royal Society for Public Health gave Dyson Airblade, one of the most common jet dryers, an accreditation for hygiene Another Dyson spokesperson accused scientists of scaremongering” and have previously complained that the research is being funded by the paper towel industry.

Dyson Airblade DB hand dryers cost up to 69% less to run than other hand dryers, and up to 97% less than conventional paper towel solutions. University of Westminster researchers carrying out the research dipped their hands into water containing a harmless virus.

Having simulated more than 213 million hand washes during testing, Dyson has fitted the new Dyson Airblade Tap with six Helmholtz silencers to help absorb the noise and vibration generated by the high powered air multiplying fans. Powered by the Dyson digital motor, which is three times faster than other vacuum cleaners, the motorized brush bar on this household appliance removes dirt and pet hair from carpets easily.

Criggdon became the latest victim of the malfunctioning airblades when he walked passed the dryer. The Dyson Airblade hand dryer is perfect for high-end establishments where style and efficiency make a difference – such as offices and hotels. Because of bulky motors, other hand dryers may protrude far from the wall.
