At Intelligent Hand Dryers UK, our ethos is to bring you as much open, honest and reliable information as possible so you can make the most suitable and informed purchase.
We endeavour to include independently obtained results and in house testing, as well as manufacturer's specifications. This gives a true reflection of dry time performance, noise and energy efficiency of each hand dryer.
Noise level testing was conducted at the Building Research Establishment (BRE) and a leading independent testing facility.
We also provide in house video testing to demonstrate dry performance. This gives a visual demonstration in “real use” as opposed to using methodical scientific protocols. The approximate dry time using this method was set when no spots of water could be seen on a paper towel after drying the hands. This is over and above what is required to be classed as a “hygienic dry” which requires 95% of the hands to be dry after using the dryer.
Need more information or advice? Please contact us by clicking here where one of our dedicated experts will be able to assist you in whichever way you need.
In our experience, the dry time stated by the manufacturer is not always the same in reality when used by the consumer. As experts in our field we like to show the types of variations we have found from independent testing and in house testing so that you have all relevant information before you purchase.

For a budget hand dryer, this has a relatively fast dry time that will not disappoint. The 28,000 RPM motor ensures a fast air flow which is helped by heat generated from a 500W element.

The energy efficiency of a hand dryer is derived by dividing the rated power by the dry speed. Ultimately what is important is how many watt-hours per dry are used.
Hand Dryer | Rated Power | Watt-hours per Dry |
Stated by Manufacturer* | 0.9kW | 3.75Wh |
Independent testing+ | N/A | N/A |
In house testing# | 0.9kW | 5.25Wh |
* As stated by the manufacturer using their own testing procedures
+ Please ask for more information
# Conducted using our own in house testing protocols (visual demonstration in “real use” as opposed to scientific protocols)
For comparison, a standard conventional hand dryer users around 25 – 30Wh per dry.
For the price, this hand dryer shows exceptional energy efficiency and holds its own very well with some more expensive hand dryers in our range.

Manufacturers typically measure sound levels in terms of decibels dB(A) @ a 1 metre distance in a sound proof chamber. This measurement does not take into account the increase in noise when hands are positioned under/in the dryer or when the sound bounces off walls. Where possible we supply manufacturer's stated dB(A), and 2 independent tests which are more reflective of 'real conditions’.
Manufacturer stated | 70dB(A) |
Hands under in an anechoic chamber (sound proof) | N/A |
Hands under in a normal room* | N/A |
*represents maximum “real life” volume
Equivalent Examples:
Normal Conversation 50 - 70dB(A)
Vacuum Cleaner 70dB(A)
Busy Traffic / Alarm clock 80dB(A)
Lawn Mower / Chainsaw 90dB(A)
*various internet sources
Please click here to read our guide to help understand what the perceived decibel level above would be equivalent to.
It is worth noting that if your noise concern relates to the noise carrying into different areas of the building then pitch will be just as relevant as sound output (loudness). Higher frequency pitches will not travel through walls as easily as low frequency pitches for example. Please contact usdirectly to discuss your specific need.

Washing hands correctly is the best way to ensure high levels of hand hygiene. Making sure hands are completely dry is the next important aspect of hand hygiene.
Most modern hand dryers have standard hygienic properties such as fast dry times and touch free sensors to activate. However for added peace of mind some models have enhanced hygienic properties.
The G-Force Junior is touch free activated, however this hand dryer doesn’t have any other enhanced hygienic properties.

So how long will this dryer last?
Hand dryers can have 2 types of motor which are:
- A digital brushless motor
- A universal brush motor
In theory, universal brush motors do not last as long as digital brushless motors and require the brushes to be changed periodically. They also vary in their lifespan. Digital motors however do cost more to repair should they fail at any point. There are variations in the lifespans of both universal brushed motors and digital motors.
The best way to choose what is right for you is to look at your facility and the amount of use each hand dryer is expected to get. This way it can be determined if a brushed motor hand dryer would be most suitable for you or whether investing in a digital brushless motor would be more cost effective.
Type of motor in the G-Force Junior Hand Dryer | A universal brush motor | ||||
Lifetime of brushes before needing replacing (if applicable) |
| ||||
Lifetime of the motor |

* Please note: the above is for guidance only based on generalised information relating to standard figures; each location and type of usage will effect each factor. With all high speed brush motors, they will last longer if the dust around moving parts is removed periodically.
Based on the above information we would recommend this hand dryer to be situated in bathrooms with the following daily uses: (see recommendations with 'y') (non recommendations with 'n')
Low Traffic | Light Traffic | Medium Traffic | Heavy Traffic | Extreme Traffic |
<50 daily uses | 51 – 100 daily uses | 101 – 300 daily uses | 301 – 500 daily uses | 501> daily uses |
y | y | n | n | n |

Depending upon the location, hand dryers can be damaged through vandalism. This includes being leveraged off the wall, damaging the outer casing and putting foreign objects into the openings. Locations this is likely to occur include pubs, nightclubs, transport facilities such as train stations, schools, stadiums, arenas and unattended public toilets to name a few.
The G-Force Junior is compact and has no easy leverage points, however it is just an ABS cover and is built to keep the price to a minimum so we would suggest it would be fine for most areas but maybe somewhere prone to vandalism needs to look for something more resistant.

There are a few points to consider when choosing a hand dryer with disabled users in mind. These include:
- Wheelchair access with regard to users being able to position their hands correctly
- The amount of moisture that will be left on the floor after drying if units are to be used by people physically impaired
- The noise level of some high speed hand dryers may be too loud for some users, such as users with autism, multiple sclerosis etc.
Disabled areas often double up as baby changing facilities, so considerations include leaving extra space for double buggies, noise levels for children etc.
The G-Force Junior hand dryer has the following features that may negate these concerns:
- “Hands under” type unit creating more accessibility and a wider range of hand positions
- A very compact size, which takes up a very minimum amount of space in a wash room
- Relatively low noise levels

As one of the smallest hand dryers in the world, this unit can be placed in a variety of locations where larger products would not fit. We have had customers who like the idea that they could place these in individual cubicles in the washroom to add privacy to their clients washroom experience.
We wouldn’t think that the G-Force Junior would be ideal for heavy traffic locations due to the life expectancy of the motor, however you would expect a lot of years useage from low traffic locations such as small offices, restaurants etc.
The G-Force Junior, by design would not stand up to abuse in areas prone to vandalism, however its hard ABS cover provides adequate protection from normal daily use.
Architect classification NBS is N13/472 Hand driers
