Don’t hand dryers do a better job of drying hands than paper towel dispensers?
The more sophisticated models do an excellent job of getting the hands dry. However, there is more to consider here than simply drying hands. Recent studies showed that while electric units effectively remove moisture from the skin, they do a very poor job of removing bacteria that are transmitted by touching surface areas inside the restroom. If your organization caters to large group of people every day, or if you have a high percentage of children in your facility, you have to think about doing everything you can do minimize the risk of infection. There was a time when paper towel dispensers were lauded as being far more sanitary than cloth towels on rollers. Ironically, in spite of all the improvements in technology they are still the best means of minimizing disease transmission by touch.
What about the ongoing cost of refilling paper towel dispensers?
No doubt you already know that the per unit cost of a box of paper towels is not that expensive. However, even smaller costs do add up over a period of months. The overall cost to you is really going to depend on the volume of your restroom traffic. If hundreds, or even thousands, of users are passing through the restroom each day, then of course you are going to have to buy a lot of refills. You might want to offset this by installing electric dryers and paper towel dispensers side-by-side. This accommodates user preference on all levels.
Do paper towel dispensers break easily?
No. The units we sell are made from stainless steel and are very difficult to damage. The recessed models in particular are highly vandal resistant. Electric hand dryers are motorized devices that become inoperable the moment the unit fails. Replacing an electric unit with a damaged motor is far more expensive, too, than replacing a paper towel dispenser.
