Dyson is a British company that manufacturers vacuums, fans, and hand dryers. Their hand dryers are known as Airblades. Currently only the V, Wash+Dry, and 9kJ are being made.

The icons are a good way to tell if an AB01 was made after the AB03.
AB03
The AB04 is the ABS version of the original Airblade, first introduced in 2008. It was offered in both grey (darker than the AB01) and white. White units are rare.
The AB01 and AB03 can be told apart by the location of the sensors
