We carry an extensive range of hand dryers here at Hand Dryers UK, which includes a range of black hand dryers. We appreciate that at times this extensive range may become overwhelming. So, we wanted to put this guide together for those who are shopping for a black hand dryer in order to give some guidance on the best available for any situation.
Best budget black hand dryer - Dryflow BulletDri
Whether it’s for low-traffic environments, or for someone simply working to a budget, the best budget black hand dryer we stock is the Dryflow Bullet Dri. Coming in at a fraction of the price of some of the other models, it still benefits on a number of features that are only typically found on more costly options.
Available in both brushed and brushless motors, it has airspeeds of either 224 and 280mph (respectively). This leads to an impressive dry time of 10-15 seconds. It operates quiet enough to be classed as a ‘low noise’ hand dryer, but is also still ‘slim’ with a depth of 100mm. All of this, and it has a HEPA filter to improve hygiene. This hand dryer packs far beyond its price.
Best high-speed black hand dryer - Mitsubishi Jet Towel Slim
This model is a 'hands in' hand dryer made for a high-traffic environment. It has an adjustable motor, installers can pick between maximum speed drying and a slightly quieter mode.
The air speed reaches 237mph, but comes from both sides and effectively 'scrapes' the water from the hands in around 10 seconds. Added to this, it also has a heating element to help further speed up the drying. This unit represents some of the best technology that Mitsubishi has developed.
Best quiet black hand dryer - Mitsubishi Smart Wave u02
Mitsubishi have been industry leaders in the world of hand dryers for a long time. They were the first to develop a ‘hands in’ hand dryer, before the design was popularised by Dyson. They are known for their quality, and in over 20 years of operation we’ve barely had any Mitsubishi hand dryers come back to us.
The Smart Wave u02 is one of their flagship models. It has a host of features, amongst them is the patented Wave Nozzle Technology and the Ultra™ EcoSmart Motor both of which work to make it a quieter unit. It runs at an incredibly low noise of 58 decibels, while still having a dry time of 10-15 seconds.
Best low-cost black hand dryer - Dryflow Ecoslim
In this case, we are looking for a hand dryer which has low operational cost. This means it doesn’t use much electricity to run. When looking at those specs, the Dryflow Ecoslim comes out on top.
It has a power rating of just 0.18kW to 0.85kW, which means that can get 4347 dries per pound spent on electricity (assuming 20p per kwh). This is compared to 143 dries per £1 when using paper towels. Despite this low operational cost, it can still dry in 10-15 seconds and is made for high-traffic environments. A true work horse of a hand dryer.
Best all round black hand dryer - Mediclinics Machflow
If you are looking for a hand dryer that won’t break the bank, but still performs exceptionally in most situations, then you could do far worse than looking at the Mediclinics Machflow Plus. It has a brushless motor for a maintenance free life, comes with a HEPA filter installed for improved hygiene, and a bomb-proof construction, which explains its 20-year warranty.
There are faster hand dryers, and quieter hand dryers, but in terms of fantastic performance all round with minimal sacrifices, it’s hard to beat the Machflow Plus, and it shows that Mediclinic have put their 50 years of manufacturing experience into this unit.
