Hand dryer recommendations?

[Colin33]

I need to fit some hand dryers at a pre-school. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good reasonably priced dryer to suit? Thanks~~

I like how all the dryers have an 'average drying time' in that link, so I guess if you had really big or small hands you'd have to recalculate.

Been looking at designs aimed at kids, like this one, it's expensive though and at 86db quite loud don't you think? Biodrier BioBot Hand Dryer - http://www.qbicwashrooms.co.uk/biodrier-biobot-hand-dryer.html

I also noticed a sticker on a dryer saying "do not fit near water". Any idea of recommended proximity to sinks?

If you buy used ones, make sure you know where they have come from... There has been a spate of people stealing the expensive Dyson ones around here recently... guy goes in toilets, each time undoing one screw etc.. then out the back door under his coat the dryer goes.. At several hundred quid a pop they are not cheap... but some bars and pubs like them as it projects the right image! Its also a local business that makes them.

Use paper towels they work, hand dryers don't, they waste electricity, make a terrible noise (that will scare most pre-school kids) and are very expensive.

I looked at them earlier Gavin but it seems the quieter they are the longer they take to dry hands! The best take 10 seconds but these 'kids' ones take 30 or 40 seconds, I can't imagine the kids hanging around that long! And imagine the queue when all the kids come in from outside play and need to wash their hands...

what's wrong with the little monsters using bog roll (preferably before they've wiped their arses with it )?

...So that's why we had long trousers at Hi school ,
safer not hanging around the bogs ...
