What is a "dryer"?
A dryer is a machine that removes moisture from clothes, hair, hands, or other items by blowing warm air or using heat. Clothes dryers tumble laundry in a rotating drum, drying them quickly with hot air. Hand dryers blow air to dry hands, often in public restrooms. Hair dryers use focused air to dry and style hair more efficiently. Other types of dryers serve specific purposes in different settings. These machines save time and make drying faster and easier in homes, restrooms, or salons.
