The Jet dryer is faster (10 seconds vs longer for warm air) but the Future GLX is more affordable and suits environments where a traditional warm-air format is preferred.\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. Note: this rating is lower than IPX4 — the unit should not be positioned where it may be subject to water splashing from the sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the thermal protection system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Future GLX has dual thermal protection: an auto-resetting thermostat on the motor (cuts off at 105°C) and on the heater element (cuts off at 85°C), plus a thermal fuse on the heater that permanently cuts the unit off at 142°C as a final safety measure. This multi-layer protection prevents overheating in continuous commercial use.\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.
