The Mitsubishi Jet Towel Smart is the hand dryer we have been waiting for. And to be honest, even though the Dyson Airblade V is expensive, we have been unable to offer much in the way of a serious alternative

And the XLerator is a popular dryer in its own right (although less popular since they removed the heating element in search of the ‘low energy’ crown).Īt Electrical Deals Direct, we have built an enviable reputation for no-nonsense advice which saves our customers significant money, and gets them a more suitable product in the process. That’s not to say that there are no other hand dryers in that price bracket: the Warner Howard Airstream, and the Excel XLerator are both around that level. The drying time is fast, the design is stylish, and it has the Dyson logo on the front.Īll in all, a great combination of features, which is just as well because at an eye-watering (list) price of £569 ex VAT, you need to be at the serious end of the market in terms of budget. In fairness, it has been a pretty tough challenge: Dyson took the ‘Blade of air’ concept from the highly successful AB14 hands-in dryer and put it into a ‘hands-under’ model.

Ever since Dyson launched the Dyson V dryer, (also known as the AB08 and the AB12) we have been expecting one of the other major hand dryer manufacturers to release a dryer which takes it on and gives it a good run for its money.
