A wall mount hair dryer is a hot air device that is attached to a wall, as opposed to a hand-held dryer that you can put in a drawer, a cabinet, or on a shelf. They are usually smaller then the typical unmounted hair dryers. Wall mount hair dryers are frequently found in the bathrooms of hotels; however, some individuals choose to put them in their homes as well.
A benefit of using a wall mount hair dryer is that it takes up less space than an unmounted one. The user does not have to worry about trying to wrap the cord around the base, or finding space for it in a drawer or cabinet or having to leave it out on the counter. Another benefit is that the dryer is less likely to be accidentally knocked off the counter, into the sink or on the floor, thereby diminishing the chance that it will break.
Some people assume that a wall mount hair dryer has only very basic heat and speed settings. Many actually have more than one option for a heat setting as well as a low, medium, and high setting for speed. They will also usually have a button to press to release a blast of cold air.
Since the dryer will be visible to anyone in the bathroom, anyone considering a wall mount hair dryer should think about how it complements the décor. Many wall mount hair dryers come in white, so it can match in almost any décor color in a bathroom. Other color dryers are also usually available to purchase.
Some disadvantages that individuals may find with purchasing a wall mount hair dryer is that it is not portable for travel. Another problem may be if someone wants to use the dryer in other rooms or take it in another area of the bathroom where the cord does not reach. Some unmounted hair dryers may also have a higher wattage, more speeds, and a greater range of attachments compared to a wall mounted hair dryer.
When considering purchasing a wall mount hair dryer, it is important to decide if it is the right option for the individual. He or she should think about what is absolutely needed in a hair dryer and what can be done without. If counter and storage space is limited, this dryer may be a good option. There are options that can fit most décor and budget requirements.
