GLX?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth models share the same 1.8KW power, 80m\/s air speed, infrared operation, and chrome finish. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/base-future-glx-hand-dryer-chrome\"\u003eFuture GLX (£269)\u003c\/a\u003e adds a dedicated 1250W heater element with its own dual thermal protection system (auto-resetting thermostat + thermal fuse), providing more controlled warm air output and additional safety features. The Future (£199) is the more affordable option with the same core drying performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does IPX1 mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIPX1 means the unit is protected against vertically falling water drops (drip-proof). It is suitable for bathroom installation away from direct water spray. The unit should not be positioned where it may be subject to water splashing from the sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs professional installation required?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the dryer requires a mains electrical connection (220–240V) and wall mounting. Installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended, particularly in commercial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the infrared sensor work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe self-adjusting infrared sensor detects hands within a 9–15cm range and starts the dryer automatically. It stops as soon as hands are removed, with a 30-second maximum run time as a safety cut-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I order if the item shows as out of stock?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — this product is available to order even when stock shows as zero.
