Performance Rating

Energy Consumption3.5 out of 5
This rating is based on the watts per dry of the hand dryer which is derived from the rated power and the time taken to dry the hands. We have used the figures based on either the manufacturer’s dry time, if yet to be in house tested or based on the in house testing dry time we have conducted. This will also be based on the most energy efficient setting, if the hand dryer is adjustable for speed and/or heat.
Watts per dry:
- 0 – 1.99W = star rating 5
- 2 – 2.99W = star rating 4.5
- 3 – 3.99W = star rating 4
- 4 – 4.99W = star rating 3.5
- 5 – 5.99W = star rating 3
- 6 – 6.99W = star rating 2.5
- 7 – 7.99W = star rating 2
- 8 – 8.99W = star rating 1.5
- 9 – 9.99W = star rating 1
- 10W and above = star rating 0.5
-
Quiet Sound Level2.5 out of 5
This rating is based on the manufacturers stated sound level, usually at 1m. Please see the section titled "how quiet is the." for more information and independent test results, which give a more accurate noise decibel level. These ratings will also be based on the low noise setting, if the hand dryer is adjustable for speed. Therefore at full speed the hand dryer may not be quiet, however it may be adjustable to become quiet if this is required.
Decibels (dB):
- Up to 68dB = star rating 5
- 69 – 70dB = star rating 4.5
- 71 – 72dB = star rating 4
- 73 – 74dB = star rating 3.5
- 75 – 76dB = star rating 3
- 77 – 78dB = star rating 2.5
- 79 – 80dB = star rating 2
- 81 – 82dB = star rating 1.5
- 83 – 84dB = star rating 1
-
Life Expectancy4.0 out of 5
This rating is based on the number of motor life cycles (number of uses) the hand dryer, in theory, will last for. This is based on the motor life expectancy given to us in hours, from the manufacturer.
The number of cycles (uses) has been calculated as follows:
(Number of seconds in the hour / seconds per dry) x motor life hours
For a more individualised longevity calculation based on your own usage numbers please use the life expectancy calculator on each product page.
Number of motor life cycles:
- 1,000,000 and over = star rating 5
- 800,000 – 999,999 = star rating 4.5
- 600,000 – 799,999 = star rating 4
- 400,000 – 599,999 = star rating 3.5
- 200,000 – 399,999 = star rating 3
- 100,000 – 199,999 = star rating 2.5
- 80,000 – 99,999 = star rating 2
- 60,000 – 79,999 = star rating 1.5
- 40,000 – 59,999 = star rating 1
- 39,999 and under = star rating 0.5
-
High Speed4.5 out of 5
These ratings are based on the in house testing we have conducted regarding dry times. They show realistic comparisons of what to expect from each hand dryer. Please note that the manufacturer stated dry time is not always accurate when compared to the hand dryer being used in realistic conditions. The ratings are based on the hand dryer being placed at its high speed setting if it can be manually adjusted.
Dry Speed (seconds):
- 10 – 11 seconds = star rating 5
- 12 – 13 seconds = star rating 4.5
- 14 – 15 seconds = star rating 4
- 16 – 17 seconds = star rating 3.5
- 18 – 19 seconds = star rating 3
- 20 – 21 seconds = star rating 2.5
- 22 – 23 seconds = star rating 2
- 24 – 25 seconds = star rating 1.5
- 26 – 27 seconds = star rating 1
- Over 28 seconds = star rating 0.5
-
Vandal Resistance4.0 out of 5
Some hand dryers would not be suitable for some locations where abuse may be likely such as a train station or night club. However the same hand dryer would be suitable for an office or school location. These ratings are based on an added together scoring system where the higher the rating, the more suitable we would recommend for areas where abuse may be likely.
Vandal Resistance score
- Compact size = score 0.5
- Decreased blockage potential = score 0.5
- Additional Backplate/ fixings strength = score 1
- Anti-vandal extras = score 1
- Metal / ABS = score 1
- Cover thickness 1.5mm or more = score 0.5
- No leverage points (design) = score 0.5
- Fast dry times of around 12-15 seconds - proven by our in house testing
- Energy efficient -– rated power between 0.42kW and 1.1kW; without the heater element engaged via a concealed on / off switch
- Plug-in system phased installation for quick and easy fitting and maintenance

At Intelligent Hand Dryers UK, our ethos is to bring you as much open, honest and reliable information as possible so you can make the most suitable and informed purchase.
We endeavour to include independently obtained results and in house testing, as well as manufacturer's specifications. This gives a true reflection of dry time performance, noise and energy efficiency of each hand dryer.
Noise level testing was conducted at the Building Research Establishment (BRE) and a leading independent testing facility.
We also provide in house video testing to demonstrate dry performance. This gives a visual demonstration in “real use” as opposed to using methodical scientific protocols. The approximate dry time using this method was set when no spots of water could be seen on a paper towel after drying the hands. This is over and above what is required to be classed as a “hygienic dry” which requires 95% of the hands to be dry after using the dryer.
