A wall-mounted hand dryer incorporates a cowl (109) which is mounted on the underside of its cabinet (108) so that the mouth (112) of the cowl extends forwardly beyond the lower edge of the front face of the cabinet, on which an air outlet (106) is mounted. In use, hot air expelled from air outlet flows over the users hands (not shown) and a large proportion of the waste air is collected by cowl (109) and is directed to apertures in the underside of the cabinet (not shown) so that a closed path is formed which enables the air to recirculate. A correspondingly lower power electric heating element may be used, which alleviates the problem of electrical overload caused by a number of such hand dryers operating simultaneously.
