BATTERY-POWERED HAND DRYERS

Question:

Hand Dryer Expert,

I'm in search of a battery powered hand dryer for my business.  Our electrical was accidentally tiled over, so I'm hoping someone makes a battery powered hand dryer. Any assistance in this search is greatly appreciated.

Best, Jolene

Answer:

Jolene,

There are no battery powered hand dryers. Sorry!

The best alternative would be a plug-in hand dryer. The only UL certified plug-in hand dryer that we know of is the Nova 1. This is a nice, lighter-weight and low profile (ADA compliant) hand dryer, however it is not as fast or as durable as other hand dryers. You can add a cord and a plug to many hand dryers and there are some distributors that will do this for you. However be aware that the warranty and the (UL) certification may be voided by adding a plug yourself since these are intended to be hard wired. But it’s fairly simple operation.

Thanks, Hand Dryer Expert
