Dyson Airblade Tap WD04 / AB09 Short Hand Dryer Tap – Brushed Stainless Steel
The Dyson Airblade Tap WD04 / AB09 Short is an innovative 2-in-1 wash and dry solution, combining a high-speed hand dryer with a tap in one compact unit. Designed to eliminate the need to move between sink and dryer, it improves washroom hygiene, saves space, and delivers fast, efficient hand drying directly at the basin.
Integrated Wash & Dry Solution
The Dyson Airblade Tap allows users to wash and dry hands at the sink, removing the need to move across the washroom.
- Reduces water drips on floors
- Improves hygiene by containing the entire process at the basin
- Frees up wall and floor space for additional facilities
This makes it ideal for modern, space-conscious commercial washrooms.

The Airblade Tap delivers a fast dry time of 10–12 seconds, powered by Dyson’s advanced motor technology.
- Dyson digital motor spinning at 90,000 rpm
- Airflow speeds of up to 430 mph
- High-pressure air sheets scrape water from hands quickly
It uses the same proven Airblade technology found in Dyson’s blade-style dryers.
Smart Water & Airflow Design
The WD04 / AB09 features a carefully engineered tap system:
- Aerated water flow for controlled washing
