Why does a household need a hair dryer

If they ask me, what is the construction hairdryer needed for in the household? Then offhand I can name only four reasons:

1. Removal of old paints and varnishes from the painted surfaces.

2. Urgent drying of non-hygroscopic items.

3. Gluing works.

4. Installation of stretch ceilings.

However, the last two points are more professional jobs and require appropriate hair dryers.

The need for a hair dryer

A household industrial hair dryer is not expensive. In fact, anyone can buy it. But is it necessary in the household?

An ordinary person living in an apartment absolutely does not need an industrial hair dryer. Installation of stretch ceilings is a specific job, not every day and not every layman does it.

Gluing with heated surfaces is also specific. In everyday life, it is better to use materials and consumables that do not require heat treatment.

To dry something urgently - such a need does not often arise. Shoes are not counted, since it is a long, painstaking work to achieve complete drying with a hairdryer, and is fraught with the risk of irreversible damage to the materials.

All that remains is the cleaning of surfaces from old varnish-and-paint coatings.

But a resident of an apartment has almost no such need. Windows - metal-plastic, floor - tiles, laminate, linoleum, doors - generally have a coating that cannot be removed correctly.

So what is an industrial hair dryer for at home?

The only use of an industrial hair dryer

Based on the above, I came to the conclusion that I do not need an industrial hair dryer. However, I live in the private sector, where there are various outbuildings that do not require perfect finishing. That is, you can paint the doors and window frames in the garage, pantry, shed with ordinary enamel using a brush.

But it is imperative to remove the old coating so that the new one fits well, does not swell and does not fall off.

That's why I bought an industrial hair dryer. And since the work performed was low-skilled, so I bought the cheapest tool, "ELTOS FP-2200".

Package contents and specifications

In the package, except for the hair dryer, there was nothing (the instructions and the guarantee coupon do not count). The complete set did not include a single nozzle, not a single scraper.

I was only pleased with the cable length, about 2 meters.

The hair dryer turned out to be extremely light (less than 1 kg). Its maximum power is 2200 W. It has two working modes:

1. 300 liters / min + 350 ° C.

2. 500 l / min + 600 ° C.

Questions arose about the temperature of the air blown out. I checked with the ignition of the newspaper. No matter how hard I tried, it never caught fire, even in the second mode. Although the ignition temperature of the paper is 450 ° C. The newspaper was only charred, but did not want to catch fire.

Conclusion

Despite the identified shortcomings (lack of nozzles and questions about the temperature of the blown air), the hairdryer suited me.

It softens paint on wood and brick surfaces just so quickly that I can remove it with a spatula. That is, the hairdryer is still coping with the function for which I bought it.
