The fastest, most hygienic hand dryer.

The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer works in just 10 seconds - scraping water from hands like a windscreen wiper. It's the fastest hand dryer - and it purifies the air before blowing it onto hands, so it's also hygienic. And it uses up to 80% less energy than warm air hand dryers.

Airblade™ technology

Air is forced through two continuous apertures the width of an eyelash - creating sheets of air travelling at 400mph. Water is scraped from hands in just 10 seconds. It’s all largely due to a new type of digital motor that spins five times faster than a Formula 1 car engine.

Dyson digital motor

Designed by Dyson engineers, the Dyson digital motor works very differently to conventional, brushed motors. It uses digital pulse technology - spinning 88,000 times a minute. That's fast enough to suck in 37 litres of washroom air every second.

  1. Dirty washroom air is sucked in by the Dyson digital motor.
  2. It passes through a hospital-grade HEPA filter, removing over 99.9% of the bacteria.
  3. The purified air passes over the electronics, cooling them.
  4. The two sheets of air literally scrape water from hands.
  1. Air passes into the air ducts which are insulated to reduce noise.
  2. It’s then forced through two apertures – creating sheets of air travelling at 400mph.
  3. The air then reaches the motor, which channels it up and through the machine.
