Review 2023 – Savortex EcoCurve 550A

EcoCurve 550A Value This dryer is the 2nd most expensive of its type on the market retailing at slightly above a Dyson V and under the Dyson 9kj. Performance wise it’s pretty similar and it has a longer-life motor according to the specification. That said we don’t think that Dysons represent good value for money when compared with the rest of the market, so for a relatively unknown brand, it seems overpriced, unless your priority is buying British. The SMART version however delivers a really unique value proposition. EcoCurve 550A... Read More

Review 2023 – Savortex EcoCurve 550D

EcoCurve 550D Value There are only a couple of dryers in this price bracket: the Dyson 9kj and the Dyson wash and dry. So, this is certainly an expensive bit of kit. However, if we put price to one side, it’s the only dryer to offer cleaning alerts, which can significantly increase efficiency across buildings as it eliminates routine cleaning visits and allows washrooms to be cleaned based on actual use. Alerts about breakdowns are an added benefit; however, good dryers rarely break down, so this is useful rather than... Read More

Review 2023 – Dryflow® Bamboo Bobbi Hand Dryer

Bamboo Bobbi Value At just £249.00 + vat, this falls into the mid-price range. All Dryflow hand dryers represent good value and the Bamboo Bobbi hand dryer is no different due to the 3-year comprehensive guarantee and lifetime free repair service. The value of this specific dryer depends more on what your main criteria are. This is not a particularly long-life dryer, so it only represents good value in locations where it will receive low use (under 100 uses per day) such as a primary school. Bamboo Bobbi Dry Speed...

Review 2023 – Dryflow® Ecowave Hand Dryer

Ecowave Value At just £179 + vat, this falls into the lower/mid-price range. All Dryflow hand dryers represent good value and the Ecowave is no different due to the 3-year comprehensive guarantee and lifetime free repair service. The Ecowave looks like a more expensive dryer due to quality of finish and robust, heavyweight feel of the product. The value of this specific dryer depends more on what your main criteria are.

Review 2023 – Dryflow® BulletDri Hand Dryer

BulletDri Value At just £179 + vat this is an affordable dryer for most locations that delivers against all the main criteria. The 5 year guarantee and lifetime free repairs make it a particularly ‘good value’ choice. BulletDri Dry Speed There is no doubt the Bulletdri is fast, the manufacturer states 10-12 seconds and even under the most stringent testing it delivers a hygienic dry in under 15 seconds. There are 4-5 faster dryers on the market, but with the exception of the Jetdri they are all considerably more expensive.... Read More

4 Great Hand Dryers For The Home

Outlined in an article in The Daily Mail and backed up by the NHS, bathroom towels and mats are probably one of the most unhygienic items in the home. Why? Because they retain moisture allowing bacteria to breed and are used in the most germ ridden areas of the house; collecting feces and other bacteria substances from the hands, face and body. These bacteria can be spread from person to person as the towel is used by multiple people.  Just washing the towel is not enough, you have to do it at the... Read More
