Green, Clean, Extreme--Say That Five Times Fast

“While all American hand dryers save trees and reduce landfill waste - The EXTREMEAIR® uses up to 80% less energy than conventional hand dryers.” –American Dryer
American Dryer is a long recognized hand dryer company that has helped revolutionize the hand dryer industry over the last 55 years. All of their hand dryers are made in the United States and are unbelievably strong. American Dryer is now adding to their list of reputable hand dryers in hopes to expand into the “green” market.
Losing the Eco-Dryer Race?
American Dryer has helped make paper towels obsolete. But times progress, many hand dryer manufacturers including the Dyson company has stepped in to try their shot at energy conservation. Many people in the restaurant industry began to doubt if American Dryer could “hold its own”.
The only negative side to American Dryer for those in the restaurant industry was that they didn’t have a dryer focused on conserving energy. While all dryers do wonders for the environment by cutting paper towel production, new technology has made it available to run these dryers with very little energy.
Reclaiming the Green Title
American Dryer can carry resume the “green” crown once more. The Extreme Air EXT hand dryer uses 3 times less power than a conventional hair dryer and is there most eco-friendly model yet. The operating cost per 1,000 uses of this model is $0.18 compared to $0.42 for their bestselling GXT model. Paper towels don’t even compare. This means great things for your wallet and our environment.
The new Extreme Air also boasts 10-15 second drying times which is comparable to the more expensive Dyson brand hand dryer. The EXT also costs 95%less than paper towels, are smaller, and use 3 times less energy. The only edge Dyson now has over American Dryer is an NSF approval. (Maybe soon to come?)
Due to its energy conservation and energy performance, The Extreme Air EXT has been recognized by GreenSpec Listed, an unbiased list of the most environmentally friendly products published by the editors of Environmental Building News.
