We understand that one of the most important factors in choosing a hand drying method is cost. To assist in your decision we have put together a cost comparison so you can see how the twin benefits of using less energy and taking less time combine to provide a real financial advantage.

In this comparison we have assumed that when using paper towels to dry hands, people will use 2 towels. In practice, we know that is a very conservative estimate as research shows that a number of people will take more that 2 sometimes up to 5 or 6 so you could in effect double or even triple the figures quoted here.

We have used the longest quoted dry times for both the conventional dryer – 45 seconds and the Xlerator – 15 Seconds.

You will note that the conventional dryer whilst being a great deal cheaper than the paper towels takes 45 seconds to dry hands. It is a well known fact that most people will not wait that long and subsequently leave washrooms dissatisfied and with still wet hands.

It is worth considering that some hand dryers take even longer than 45 seconds to dry hands, in these instances, the cost savings that the Xlerator offers would be greater still.

The Xlerator offers even greater cost savings over paper than the conventional dryer whilst drying hands in no more time than it takes with paper towels.
