The Hand Dryer Filmer
Приєднався 20 тра 2023
Hi, I’m a hand dryer enthusiast from the UK, I like hand dryers because of there being loads of models of them across the UK and how unique a lot of them are. I may also occasionally film other things, like lifts and rarely self checkouts. If you like the content on this channel, please feel free to subscribe, it would help the channel out a lot!
How long have I been interested in hand dryers for? Nearly my entire life.
What dryer did I start using first? The Dyson Airblade AB03s in the ladies at John Lewis in Tamworth (Now Home Bargains and ALDI).
What dryer scared me the most when I was very young? The XLERATOR in the disabled at ASDA in Minworth (Now replaced with a Xinda GSQ87).

(BlueDry EcoDry) KINGWE JetDry KW-1000 🚹 @ The White Swan Hotel/Pub, Henley-in-Arden
Here we have an early BlueDry EcoDry, which is still doing alright for its age, since these dryers only last a couple of years before sounding rough, but these older ones are most likely built better.
I was thinking this place would have an EcoDry, since I heard a very loud dryer from where I was sitting, and I heard a long shutdown, so I was correct when I came in here.
This pub was very nice, with great food and a very nice interior design.
I couldn’t find a disabled in this pub. I also wonder what this dryer replaced, but I have absolutely no idea, since it’s my first time here.
Material: Steel
Build Date: December 2016
Personal Rating: 6/10

(Dryflow Slimforce) KINGWE ThinDry KW-1019 🚻1 @ Gail’s, Solihull
Переглядів 158День тому
Here we have a Dryflow branded KINGWE ThinDry at a Gail’s, I was expecting a Mediclinics branded Machflow here, since a couple have been found at other branches, but this branch only opened over 2 weeks ago. These dryers were louder than I expected them to be if I’m honest, and I didn’t think to do a decibel test on this one, but it’s clearly over 100 decibels due to it being this loud. This to...
P+L Systems 🚻 @ Pret A Manger, Solihull

Here we have an absolutely useless and boring P L Systems, which is unfortunately the standard dryer for Pret. I really don’t get why they use awful dryers like this, as for a similar price, you can get almost any AIKE, they perform much better and would likely outlast these. This video was slightly rushed, since I couldn’t turn the lock to lock the door. I do wonder what this dryer replaced, a...

Here we have an Airforce, which disappointed me when I heard another one from outside of these toilets, as I was hoping for something better, and these toilets looked promising too. The gents on the ground floor had a PHS Airforce with a build date of December 2012, unfortunately I couldn’t film it though, as the toilet was extremely busy, and I’d prefer it to this one as the older Airforces a...
Mitsubishi Jet Towel u02s 🚹 @ Sainsbury’s, Tamworth

Here we have my first Sainsbury’s u02s, which replaced WH and PHSWH Airforces between July 2022 and now. These dryers were likely installed during the refurbishment, since they both have the same build dates, and are infact the newest dryers I’ve filmed yet, with them being a month newer than the TSL.89s at the Royal cinema in Sutton Coldfield. I was thinking that one of the Airforces would’ve ...

Here we have a Kangarillo2, which unfortunately replaced a Machflow during a refurbishment, and as you can see at the start of the video, the one that I got a failed film of in the gents replaced a BlueDry EcoDry, which is a bit interesting tbh, as it was a lower quality XL knockoff getting replaced with a superior one. This toilet was absolutely disgusting, someone didn’t flush the toilet and ...
Hand Dryer Compilation 12: Dryers filmed over Half Term
Переглядів 37721 день тому
This dryer compilation is much better than the ones I’ve done before, and you’ll see why throughout the video. I hope you enjoy the video when it premieres. Note: There may be some facts about a certain dryer that aren’t correct, but I couldn’t be bothered to change it because this video took ages to make and it was before I was told they aren’t correct.
PHS Warner Howard EL1100 🚻♿️🚼 @ Blackroot Bistro, Sutton Park, Sutton Coldfield

Here we have an EL1100, which replaced an Eterna branded Xinda GSQ250A between October 2022 and now, it probably either broke or they wanted to replace it with a better dryer, and this was a pretty good replacement, and should last for a reasonable amount of time in this environment. The GSQ250A was made on the 37th week of 2016, and somehow I can remember the build date from 2 years ago, and s...
Nice! WHWD SMARTdri 🚹 @ The Ladybridge (Beefeater), Tamworth

Here we have a SMARTdri, which has almost all of its branding rubbed off. I was in a rush when filming this because I think I got a few weird looks from people when coming in and out of this toilet, so I filmed this dryer and got the f k out of here, before I got questioned by staff as to why I was in here on my own, this dryer was filmed at about half 5 on a Saturday night, so that’s another r...

Here we have a Velair F9 Eco, in a pretty new place that I just didn’t feel comfortable walking into until the day this was filmed, probably because I didn’t want to get weird looks, but when I walked in the day this was filmed, I was fine. I was expecting something crap here just before coming in here for some reason, but this dryer isn’t too bad, and it should last decently in a place like t...
Retrofitted AirDri Classics 🚹 @ Roadchef Northampton Northbound, M1
Переглядів 272Місяць тому
Here we have some AirDri Classics, which were retrofitted into Classic s, probably because they didn’t want to replace the whole dryer or something, but other than that reason that I can think of, I don’t quite understand why they did it. The changing places here had an ATC Cub, which I wasn’t really expecting to see in there really, as I remember @handdryersinnorthwest1226 commenting on a vide...
Dyson Airblade AB03 ♿️ @ John Lewis, Mezzanine Floor, Milton Keynes
Переглядів 280Місяць тому
Here we have yet another AB03 at John Lewis in Milton Keynes, I don’t have a whole lot to say here, as it’s all mentioned in my other videos of the dryers at this store. The tap in this toilet wasn’t particularly ideal if I’m particularly honest, and it’s definitely a cheap replacement for likely an Armitage Shanks turn tap. After I filmed this dryer, I checked the baby room but it just had tow...
Dyson Airblade dBs 🚹 @ John Lewis, Ground Floor, Milton Keynes

Here we have some Dyson dBs in white, which are fairly rare, and I’d say slightly rarer with the newer Dyson logo. I didn’t wash my hand because it was fairly busy in the store, but not as busy as it was on Saturday and Sunday. I tried to go into the disabled on this floor again after filming these, but it was locked again, I presume it has a white AB03. I could hear AB03s coming from the ladie...
Xinda GSQ250B ♿️🚼 @ Bella Italia, Lower Twelfth Street, Milton Keynes

Here we have a GSQ250B, which isn’t as interesting as the Zenith branded AirDri in the gents, it’s not the worst dryer though. I was thinking the disabled was gonna have another Zenith branded AirDri tbh, but it had this instead. Maybe this replaced one, but I don’t know. The motor sounds a bit rough on this dryer. Other than that I don’t have anything else to say here to be honest. Material: S...
Interesting find! (Zenith) AirDri/Dudley WAD 5 🚹 @ Bella Italia, Lower Twelfth Street, Milton Keynes
Переглядів 279Місяць тому
Here we have a pretty interesting dryer, an AirDri/Dudley WAD 5 branded as Zenith. I’m honestly quite surprised that this thing is still here, given that this restaurant can get very busy at times, although I guess that’s because of the motor being very durable, however it does sound slightly rough. I’ve never really heard of Zenith, although I have heard about them distributing a dryer that @t...

I finally tried one out today, and to my disappointment, it did very poorly because the unit itself was poorly maintained, and the air was pretty weak from the filter being clogged
@@wi1lowsm1th44 Yeah, the performance isn’t really the best on these.
You’ll never believe what I found, but it’s a pisstake that I got busted by a Karen just over a wet floor sign.

Interesting combo just like the one I saw at conwy castle with this and a aike branded as hyco
@@iwanphillips4926 Interesting.
Old
@@ringermikey Yep.
Yeah it’s interesting that some of these older ones live on and sound healthier than newer units. As I said before, I’ve seen 2 older units like this (also made in December 2016) at The Royal Oak Pub.
@@Handdryerswithsplashy Yeah.
I’ve Never Filmed a Gail’s Before.
@@ArinAtesA09 That’s probably because there’s not too many branches across the UK.
GAIL's stopped using Mediclincs some time ago, it's a real shame
@@ukhanddryers It is, since they’re far more reliable and are just nicer in general, I swear the original Machflow has been discontinued.
I’m not keen on these to be fair.
@@Handdryerswithsplashy Me neither.
These are trash for real, I do believe I found one with a Dryflow Plus Hand dryer.
@@OmarChantelleandEmma That’s the dryer they really should be using.
@ Agreed.
I look at the GSQ250A with like how Homer Simpson sees the IRS.
@@FerrarifanOls95 Ok.
I’m assuming the disabled had the same
@@Handdryerswithsplashy It did indeed have the same.
I forgot when this was made
@@ringermikey It says 26th of August 2015 on the circuit board, but on the actual sticker itself, it’s September 2015.
@TheHandDryerFilmer Intresting, although my oldest Slim is from March 2012
@@ringermikey I haven’t filmed an early Jet Towel slim yet. The former M&S in Birmingham had a JT Slim with that exact same build date in the gents.
Yuck
I wonder when this was made
@@ringermikey Same, I could’ve got a better capture of the sticker if the lock worked, and I’m saying that because on my first attempt of filming this dryer, someone opened the door. With that, I probably could’ve got a better capture but I was also in a bit of a rush too.
Almost Every McDonald's c1s always die when the light is on or off
@@Rondo-l1g Most of them dying is due to failed power supply’s.
Diabolical unisex setup per usual...
Yep, and for some reason, this comment didn’t show up until now.
Meh
It’s annoying that all the unisex loos have this dryer.
@@Handdryerswithsplashy Yeah, I was quite disappointed, as these toilets looked promising for something decent.
8 Unisex toilets? Ridiculous
@@ringermikey Ikr.
That’s a lot of unisex cubicles.
It is indeed.
An employee told me this McDonald’s is going to be refurbished next year, which probably explains why the air fury hasn’t been replaced.
@@LiftEnthusiast2020OFFTOPIC Oh no, more Quantum’s are on the way then, but given these toilets are old, I’m not surprised they’re getting refurbed.
You should film the M&S Merry Hill dryers as they have some original slims.

I’m on a very long break so I’m getting the last of my uploads out
@@LiftEnthusiast2020OFFTOPIC Nice.
There's a similar restaurant (Ely Turkish) in Ely with a similar dryer. That has a Dryflow Turboforce Junior though I'm still unsure if the OEM for that one.
@@ElyAccessGuideUK Ah ok.
Someone tpldtne it's AIKE but I don't know which 280x model it is
@@ElyAccessGuideUK it’s the AK2803D.
I think the gents would have wall gates
@@Rondo-l1g I doubt it did, since the marks don’t look like they reassemble one.
If i see a altradry switched off im noy turning on on Because maybe of a jumpscare or its loud
I came here after the refurb and there was a pair of Airforces, so these have been installed since then. Yet another PHSWH that's failed after a couple of years, although I wouldn't count on these lasting much longer
@@ukhanddryers Yeah, these might be sounding rough in the next few months.
Nice finds, I prefer these over the airforce tbh.
@@Handdryerswithsplashy Same.
Reminds me of that one time I thought one of the Goodwinds at my closest Costco had already kicked the bucket despite being only 2 years old. It took a good 3-4 seconds for the dryer to actually activate after I inserted my hands in it(it works just fine now, btw)
@@wi1lowsm1th44 Interesting.
These Toilets Have New Colours of Walls! But I Say 🙂 to the Dryers.
@@ArinAtesA09 You don’t need to state the obvious, as we can literally see at the beginning of the video.
I'm genuinely surprised on how I've not found a KFC AIKE. The one at Edge Lane recently got refurbed due to a Kitchen fire so I'm hoping they have the AIKEs. Before the fire, they used to have Machflows but I'm not sure if they do now.
@@DryersByL Oh god, that’s not good. It’s very likely that they will have been replaced.
@@TheHandDryerFilmer Yeah, I'd be very surprised if they survived.
@@DryersByL I would too.
Shame this replaced a Machflow I found one today actually & I found a July 2024 AIKE AK-2805
@@Handdryerswithsplashy at a KFC?
@ nah at a pub
@ Oh yeah, I just checked the community post.
The accessible loo was left intact, which actually makes sense for once given the tiling only differs slightly from the modern design, however they should've replaced the tap and that broken door lock. The dryer replacement was unnecessary too
It certainly was.
My nearest KFC has 2 dryers: An unbranded Fastdry in the disabled (,I filmed it!) And also an unbranded Fastdry in the gents (that was replaced with a Goodwind Pebble Mini which I filmed and that's my most popular vid). There's also a Fastdry in the Ladies (I heard it through the door, to clarify)
@@ElyAccessGuideUKInteresting, I may or may not have seen the videos.
This is unrelated but I love the first song.
