Touchless Commercial Hand Dryer with Polished Steel Finish

The Saniflow E88AC-UL automatic hand dryer is a sensor-operated, surface-mounted commercial dryer designed for hands-free hygiene, durability, and a more premium restroom appearance. Featuring a bright polished steel finish, this model delivers the same proven performance as the E88A series while offering a clean, reflective look suited for professional and high-visibility spaces.

Equipped with an infrared sensor system, the E88AC-UL provides touch-free operation, making it ideal for facilities prioritizing hygiene and reduced user contact.
