Performance Rating
-
Energy Consumption4.0 out of 5
This rating is based on the watts per dry of the hand dryer which is derived from the rated power and the time taken to dry the hands. We have used the figures based on either the manufacturer’s dry time, if yet to be in house tested or based on the in house testing dry time we have conducted. This will also be based on the most energy efficient setting, if the hand dryer is adjustable for speed and/or heat.
Watts per dry:
- 0 – 1.99W = star rating 5
- 2 – 2.99W = star rating 4.5
- 3 – 3.99W = star rating 4
- 4 – 4.99W = star rating 3.5
- 5 – 5.99W = star rating 3
- 6 – 6.99W = star rating 2.5
- 7 – 7.99W = star rating 2
- 8 – 8.99W = star rating 1.5
- 9 – 9.99W = star rating 1
- 10W and above = star rating 0.5
-
Quiet Sound Level2.0 out of 5
This rating is based on the manufacturers stated sound level, usually at 1m. Please see the section titled "how quiet is the." for more information and independent test results, which give a more accurate noise decibel level. These ratings will also be based on the low noise setting, if the hand dryer is adjustable for speed. Therefore at full speed the hand dryer may not be quiet, however it may be adjustable to become quiet if this is required.
Decibels (dB):
- Up to 68dB = star rating 5
- 69 – 70dB = star rating 4.5
- 71 – 72dB = star rating 4
- 73 – 74dB = star rating 3.5
- 75 – 76dB = star rating 3
- 77 – 78dB = star rating 2.5
- 79 – 80dB = star rating 2
- 81 – 82dB = star rating 1.5
- 83 – 84dB = star rating 1
-
Life Expectancy3.0 out of 5
This rating is based on the number of motor life cycles (number of uses) the hand dryer, in theory, will last for. This is based on the motor life expectancy given to us in hours, from the manufacturer.
The number of cycles (uses) has been calculated as follows:
(Number of seconds in the hour / seconds per dry) x motor life hours
For a more individualised longevity calculation based on your own usage numbers please use the life expectancy calculator on each product page.
Number of motor life cycles:
- 1,000,000 and over = star rating 5
- 800,000 – 999,999 = star rating 4.5
- 600,000 – 799,999 = star rating 4
- 400,000 – 599,999 = star rating 3.5
- 200,000 – 399,999 = star rating 3
- 100,000 – 199,999 = star rating 2.5
- 80,000 – 99,999 = star rating 2
- 60,000 – 79,999 = star rating 1.5
- 40,000 – 59,999 = star rating 1
- 39,999 and under = star rating 0.5
-
High Speed4.5 out of 5
These ratings are based on the in house testing we have conducted regarding dry times. They show realistic comparisons of what to expect from each hand dryer. Please note that the manufacturer stated dry time is not always accurate when compared to the hand dryer being used in realistic conditions. The ratings are based on the hand dryer being placed at its high speed setting if it can be manually adjusted.
Dry Speed (seconds):
- 10 – 11 seconds = star rating 5
- 12 – 13 seconds = star rating 4.5
- 14 – 15 seconds = star rating 4
- 16 – 17 seconds = star rating 3.5
- 18 – 19 seconds = star rating 3
- 20 – 21 seconds = star rating 2.5
- 22 – 23 seconds = star rating 2
- 24 – 25 seconds = star rating 1.5
- 26 – 27 seconds = star rating 1
- Over 28 seconds = star rating 0.5
-
Vandal Resistance4.0 out of 5
Some hand dryers would not be suitable for some locations where abuse may be likely such as a train station or night club. However the same hand dryer would be suitable for an office or school location. These ratings are based on an added together scoring system where the higher the rating, the more suitable we would recommend for areas where abuse may be likely.
Vandal Resistance score
- Compact size = score 0.5
- Decreased blockage potential = score 0.5
- Additional Backplate/ fixings strength = score 1
- Anti-vandal extras = score 1
- Metal / ABS = score 1
- Cover thickness 1.5mm or more = score 0.5
- No leverage points (design) = score 0.5
- Excellent 14 second dry time (with heat; in house tested) - compares well with more expensive units
- The heater element can be turned off, reducing the overall rated power from 1800W to just 550W
- Low energy consumption - 2.75 watts per dry without heat, only costing around 33p per 1000 dries.
- 3 year guarantee
- W290 mm x H320mm x D170mm
- Robust, vandal resistant build quality
- CE approved
- Available in brushed satin or white

So how much will it cost you to run this hand dryer?
The below figures are per 1000 dries, please see below regarding how to calculate a more personalised annual cost for you:
|
JetDri MKII* |
£0.33 |
|
Paper Towels+ |
£12.50 |
|
Standard warm air hand dryer*# |
£3 |
*Based on 12p per kW of electricity unit cost
+Based on 2.5 towels used per dry
#Standard warm air hand dryer use approx 25 watts per dry
Based on a 12p per kW of electricity unit cost, we would anticipate the JetDri MKII hand dryer would cost approximately £0.000330 per average drying cycle. These and the above figures are based on the anticipated dry time of 18 seconds, without the heater element engaged. At the in house testing dry time of 14 seconds with the heater element engaged, we would expect the cost to be around £0.84 per 1000 dries.

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 JetDri MKII hand dryer has the following features to help reduce vandalism:
- Limited access to cause blockages
- The cover has a special key required to gain access
- Metal cover which is thicker than 1.5mm
- Its shape means it is hard to get a grip on the unit to be pulled off the wall
The Jetdri MKII is reasonably robust with a thick 1.5mm gauge AISI 304 stainless steel cover. A special key is required to enter the dryer and its shape makes it hard to get a grip on to pull off the wall. The back plate is ABS which is less robust than galvanised metal or steel back plates however it is solid enough for most locations.

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 extra hygiene features this hand dryer has are:
- Dry time under 15 seconds
- Touch Free Activation.

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.

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 JetDri MKII is a little loud and also the concentrated air jet gives less flexibility for hand positioning. There is no catchment for excess water which may end up on the floor or over the user.

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’.

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.
The decibel levels of the JetDri MKII hand dryer will be affected by the acoustics of the room they are situated in. This is undoubtedly a fairly loud hand dryer that will not be appropriate for baby change areas, disabled toilets or areas specifically for young children, the elderly or people with autistic conditions.
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 us directly to discuss your specific need.

We are passionate about helping others reduce carbon emissions, which in turn will help slow down the negative effects of global warming. For more information about carbon emissions and the environment click here
The following table shows the approx. amount of carbon emissions produced to complete 1000 dries:
|
JetDri MKII |
1.49 Kg/CO2 per 1000 dries |
|
Paper Towels* |
22.5 Kg/CO2 per 1000 dries |
|
Standard warm air hand dryer+ |
13.5 Kg/CO2 per 1000 dries |
*Based on using 3 towels per dry
+Standard warm air hand dryer use approx 25 watts per dry
Paper towels are based on 22.5gms/Co2 per dry and standard warm air hand dryers are based on Carbon Trusts measurement of 1 kW = 0.54 kg/Co2.
To work out the annual running costs and carbon emissions in your facility for the JetDri MKII hand dryer click here – this will also show you how many virgin trees you will be saving by using this hand dryer compared to paper towels.
The above figures are based on being at its most economic setting without heat with the anticipated dry times of approximately 18 seconds. With heat, at the in house testing dry time of 14 seconds this figure would still only be around 3.78 Kg/C02 per 1000 driers. It is still a significant reduction in carbon emissions when compared to the other two methods of drying.

# 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.
The above manufacturer rating is based on their stated dry times of 8-12 seconds and includes the range if the heater element is engaged or not.
Our in house testing dry times of approximately 14 seconds were conducted with the heater element engaged. However you can see that this is still a very energy efficient hand dryer when compared to standard conventional hand dryers, with a significantly greater rated power. Due to the manufacturer stated dry times being as they are, we anticipate that realistically there would be a rise of around 6 seconds longer, as in line with our in house testing. So it is anticipated that the upper range without the heater element engaged would be around 18 second’s dry time and this is what the lowest energy per dry is based upon.

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.

# Conducted using our own in house testing protocols (visual demonstration in “real use” as opposed to scientific protocols)
Our in house testing, the video of which can be seen here, showed that with the heater element engaged a quick dry time of approximately 14 seconds could be achieved. We would anticipate this will only rise by a few seconds with the heater element switched off, due to the powerful nature of the airflow. Due to the manufacturer stated dry times being as they are, we anticipate that the rise would be around 6 seconds longer, as in line with our in house testing. So it is anticipated that the upper range would be around 18 second's dry time

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.
