Abstract
An axially compact hairdryer includes a cylindrical housing having an air inlet and an air outlet at opposite ends thereof. An electric motor is centrally mounted within the housing by a pair of spaced apart support grates secured to the housing perpendicular to the air flow and a cylindrical heating element support body is carried by the support grates and located in concentric spaced relation between the housing and the motor. The heating element is wound about the support element. A fan is operatively connected to the motor for moving air from the inlet to the outlet over the heating element. Air directing vanes are attached to one of the support grates between the motor and the fan.
