The dryer provides up to 285 uses per £1 spent on electricity, significantly surpassing traditional paper towels, which only provide 143 dries for £1. This results in substantial cost savings over time while helping to reduce the environmental impact associated with paper towel waste. For businesses desiring a budget-conscious hand drying option, there is no better product than the SM48 to achieve this aim with minimal investment. The estimated energy savings, coupled with the reduced need for paper supply, can lead to a leaner, more sustainable operating cost structure.
