Dryflow Vistosa
The Dryflow Vistosa is unique in that it offers brass and copper finishes at highly affordable prices. These types of premium finish tend to start at £500+, so the Vistosa at £229 is bringing luxury to a more mainstream market.
But other than this enticing benefit, what does the Vistosa have to offer?
From £229.90 + VAT
The Dryflow Vistosa - Value
Without the brass and copper finishes, this dryer would likely only achieve a 2.5 to 3 for value. It is a good dryer but the premium finishes make it exceptional value in comparison with other brass and copper units.
The Dryflow Vistosa - Appearance
This is a sleek, compact, yet simple design available in beautiful brass and copper finishes. It would easily enhance any washroom looking to use these colour themes.
The Dryflow Vistosa - Dry Speed
The manufacturer states 10-15 seconds. We found it consistently delivered between 13-15 second dry times which is a great speed.
The Dryflow Vistosa - Energy Efficiency
The energy efficiency of a dryer is measured by two things: rated power and dry speed.
The Dryflow Vistosa has a rated power between 0.55 kW and 1 kW (heater only needed in cold locations). So, the energy consumption range of the unit is between 2.29 – 2.79 Wh per dry
For context, the Dyson Airblade AB14 uses 4.44 Wh per dry, a traditional warm-air dryer uses 20-30 Wh, and the best available uses 1-2 Wh.
At current tariffs it is possible to dry 2181 pairs of hands for just £1, this is a 92.5% saving against paper towels!
The Dryflow Vistosa - Quiet Operation
A genuine 75 dB(A) is very respectable for a high-speed hand dryer. The sound quality is smooth and doesn’t travel and cause annoyance.
The Dryflow Vistosa - Vandal Resistance
A 3mm thick, compact cover and anti-vandal screws make this a tough nut to damage.
The Dryflow Vistosa - Life Expectancy
800-hour motor life is the same as the PHS Airforce, however in comparison to many dryers on the market, this is not that long. Absolutely fine for many years in a low to mid traffic location but not one to install in high traffic areas.
It is backed by a 5-year replacement warranty and the Dryflow Lifetime repair promise which earns it some extra points.
The Dryflow Vistosa - Conclusion
The Vistosa is a really easy to install, attractive, tough dryer with decent all-round performance. The brass and copper finishes are really what elevates it.
If you are not buying for a high traffic (300+ uses per day) and want those premium finishes, it’s a great option, especially if style and luxury are your priorities.
