Levante 2.1kW Stainless Steel Automatic Hand Dryer - LEVHD2.1SS

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

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.
