A few days ago I stood before the hand dryer in my office bathroom (or at least I think it was a hand dryer, as it was mounted waist high to the left of a sink) and puzzled at its labeling. I even took a picture:

There's no shower anywhere nearby, but this object which I consider to be obviously a hand dryer is labeled "hair dryer". Surely the people who make these know what they're for...
And I agree, a large tank of compressed air with an on-demand heater on the human end would be pretty nice.

- freehunter 7y agoFor what it's worth, I've seen (and used) those in gyms and bike lockers at offices as a hair dryer. It's possible the person/company who bought it and installed it did not know what they were buying. I don't know that there's really any difference between this and a hand dryer, but I've certainly used them as hair dryers too.
- userbinator 7y agoAccording to the company that makes them, that is indeed usable for drying hair: http://www.xlerator-hand-dryer.com/ExcelHairDryer/RH76-C.html http://www.xlerator-hand-dryer.com/ExcelHairDryer/RH76-C.htm... Given that they also have an almost identical product that is a hand dryer, you can inspect the pages to find the key difference: http://www.xlerator-hand-dryer.com/ExcelHandDryer/R76-C.html http://www.xlerator-hand-dryer.com/ExcelHandDryer/R76-C.html "For hand dryers, timers are set at 30 seconds and at 3 minutes for hair drying."
