$299.99

Description

Vintage Electric-Aire Model S commercial hand dryer manufactured in South Holland, Illinois, USA.

Electric-Aire dryers were widely installed in schools, restaurants, factories, and public buildings during the 1970s–1980s and developed a reputation for their durable industrial design and long service life.

This example appears to be new old stock or never installed, with extremely clean internal components and minimal wear to the stainless steel housing.

⸻

Tested Operation

The dryer was bench tested using standard 120V power and the blower runs smoothly with strong airflow.

Because this model is designed for 230V operation, the heating element only produces warm air during 120V testing. When connected to the proper 230V power supply, the unit should perform at its intended heating level.
