An electric hair drier comprises a shallow housing (10) having an apertured boss (11) formed on its base. An electric motor (12) drives a thin cup shaped impeller (15) which in use draws air in through apertures (14) in the boss (11) and blows air radially towards a heating coil (17) surrounding inside peripheral surface (25) of the impeller (15). The impeller has external blades (26) which in use draw air from the inside peripheral surface (25) towards a central axis of the drier at the mouth of the drier. The drier has an array of com members (20) at its mouth. The thinness of the impeller (15) and the inherent even distribution of air passing over the coil (17) provides a hair drier which can be much thinner overall, and hence more comfortable to use, and in which the air is effectively and evenly heated.
