Comparison of operating costs
Hand dryer vs. paper towels
If you are considering purchasing a hand dryer, you are surely interested in operating costs.
We have prepared a comparison of the most commonly used paper napkins and Jet Dryer Classic hand dryer for you.
We calculated with the current tariff price of electricity and the average price of regular paper napkins. Savings are calculated for 100 uses in one day. The table does not include the cleaning costs that are eliminated when using a hand dryer.
Owners should therefore find out how many customers on average visit their toilets daily, and they can easily calculate the resulting annual savings.

* The calculation was done using the lowest selling price of the most commonly used paper hand towels for dispensers (single-ply folded paper hand towels in green with dimensions of 25x23 cm). On average, three napkins are needed to dry hands.
** Calculating the price of electricity is complicated due to various tariffs. To simplify, we calculate with a price of 4.50 CZK/kWh.
Jet Dryer CLASSIC hand dryer consumes 2 kW of electricity during non-stop continuous operation for 1 hour.
