Airblade™ Technology

Dyson Digital Motor... the heart of the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer

Dyson Digital Motor

The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer is powered by the Dyson Digital Motor. It’s smaller, much more energy efficient and more powerful than any other hand dryer motor. In fact, it spins nearly 10 times faster than an Indy Car engine and produces enough air pressure for Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer to dry hands without the need for heat.

Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer Technology

Air is forced through two continuous apertures the width of an eyelash – creating sheets of air traveling at 400mph. Water is scraped from hands in just 12 seconds. You won't find Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer technology in any other hand dryer.

Optimized for Energy Efficiency

Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer uses up to 80% less energy than warm air hand dryers, so it costs less to run and it’s better for the environment. It achieves this in five ways

Fastest Dry Time

Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer uses less energy because it dries hands in just 12 seconds.

Uses Cool, Unheated Air

Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer doesn’t rely on warm air to dry hands. It doesn’t need to power an energy-hungry heating element, thus allowing for the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer to drastically cut its energy consumption by 80% over warm air hand dryers.

Dyson Digital Motor

Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer is powered by a long-life, highly efficient 1400W switched reluctance electric motor. It has only three moving parts and doesn't rely on the inefficient carbon brushes or commutators used in conventional electric motors.

Infrared Sensory Technology

Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer only works when the user's hands are placed in it, and there's no accidental triggering either. It only uses the energy it needs.

Standby Mode

Other hand dryers consume up to 5W of energy in standby mode. Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer uses just 1W in this mode, so it uses 80% less energy.

Fastest Dry Time

Hands are dry in 12 seconds or less

12 seconds

Other hand dryers claim to dry hands as fast, some even faster than the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer. But what do they actually mean by "dry"?

For Dyson it means dry to 0.1g of moisture.

Dyson is the only hand dryer manufacturer to have worked with NSF International, the consulting body on workplace hygiene, to create an internationally-recognized standard for what "dry" actually means (it's 0.1g of moisture spread over both hands, as defined by NSF Protocol P335).

Performance testing

Hundreds of hours of performance tests were carried out to refine Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer.

One of the tests was measuring drying times using Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer compared with other hand dryers. Dyson scientists determined that people's perception of "dry" is when there is no more than 0.1g of residual moisture remaining on the hands.

On that basis, they were able to confirm that Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer dries hands faster than any other hand dryer.

Other tests included experimenting with the angle and width of the gap through which air is blown out to achieve optimum drying time, measuring and tuning noise levels, perfecting air pressure for effective drying and motor life testing.
