No. Hands are dried using high-velocity air rather than heated airflow.

Q: Does the Dyson Airblade V require recessing into the wall?
No. The Airblade V is designed for surface mounting and projects only 4 inches from the wall, making it ADA compliant without any recessing or wall modification.

Q: What electrical requirements are needed for installation?
The standard 110-120V model plugs into a standard 20-amp circuit. A 200-240V version is also available for international or specific commercial applications. Consult a licensed electrician for hardwired installations.

Q: What's included in the 5-year warranty?
The Dyson Airblade V includes a 5-year parts warranty. The dryer is designed for easy self-service maintenance — the backplate system allows the unit to be removed and replaced without special tools.

Q: How loud is 79 dB? Is it suitable for quiet environments?
79 dB is comparable to a normal conversation or background restaurant noise. The Airblade V is 30% quieter than its predecessor, making it suitable for offices, hotels, and upscale commercial restrooms.

Q: Is this dryer hygienic? Does it spread bacteria?
The Airblade V includes a HEPA filter as standard that captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns from restroom air before it contacts hands. It does not use heated air, which can encourage bacterial growth.

Q: Does this qualify for LEED credits?

Q: What is the difference between the AB12 and HU02 model numbers?
These refer to the same product. Dyson updated the part number from AB12 to HU02. If you previously ordered an AB12, the HU02 is the current equivalent replacement.

Q: How does the nickel finish compare to the white version?
Both versions are identical in performance and specifications. The sprayed nickel finish is popular in upscale hospitality, corporate, and healthcare environments where aesthetics matter. The white ABS version is more common in standard commercial settings.
