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.

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 approximate amount of carbon emissions produced to complete 1000 dries:
UltraDry Pro 1 | 6.38 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.

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.

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.
UltraDry Pro 1 | Rated Power | Watt-hours per Dry |
Stated by Manufacturer* | 2.5kW | 11.81Wh |
Independent testing+ | N/A | N/A |
In house testing# | N/A | N/A |
* 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 uses around 25 – 30Wh per dry.
The above manufacturer rating is based on their reported dry times of 17 seconds.

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:
UltraDry Pro 1* | £1.42 |
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 UlltraDry Pro 1 hand dryer would cost approximately £0.001417 per average drying cycle. These figures are based on the manufacturers stated dry times.

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 | 72 dB(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.
This hand dryer has no specific enhanced hygiene features other than the standard touchless operation.

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 UltraDry Pro 1 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.
The above information is based on the manufacturer stated dry time of 17 seconds.
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 |

The UltraDry Pro 1 hand dryer has the following features to help reduce vandalism:
- Compact size
- Robust construction
- Thick metal cover

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 UltraDry Pro 1 hand dryer has the following features that may negate these concerns:
- Relatively low noise levels
- A nozzle that rotates 360 degrees creating a great amount of accessibility
- Compact shape so doesn’t take up too much room

Unless you have a high traffic washroom you can't go wrong with this hand dryer. It's cheap, reliable, fast and reasonably energy efficient compared with traditional models. Of course you can buy faster, lower energy hand dryers and hand dryers that will stand up to more intense use. If your facility needs this then look at the TurboForce, C-Force or G-Force hand dryers.
