Robert was diagnosed with ALS last year. We learned about the dryer from other ALS families and purchased one after doing lots of research. Can’t imagine life without one.
I called Support on Saturday morning to ask a question about installing the dryer. To my surprise, Stephen returned my call within minutes and answered my contractor’s question.
My elderly mother was having great difficulty holding onto a grab bar with one hand while trying to towel-dry with her other hand. It was an accident waiting to happen.

About The Product
What exactly is the Tornado Body Dryer?
The Tornado Body Dryer is a premium wall-mounted hands-free body drying system that uses powerful warm air to dry your entire body from head to toe in seconds — no towels required. Simply step into the airflow after your shower and let the warm air do all the work. It's the modern, hygienic alternative to the traditional towel.
How does the Tornado Body Dryer work?
The Tornado Body Dryer is installed in the corner of your shower cubicle or wet room. A powerful motor draws in air, warms it, and distributes it through the unit from top to bottom, covering your entire body simultaneously. A wall-mounted remote switch controls the speed and operation. Press once for moderate airflow, press again for increased airflow, and press a third time to turn it off.
How long does it take to dry?
Most users are completely dry within approximately 3 minutes on full airflow. Results may vary slightly depending on the ambient temperature of your bathroom and whether you use moderate or full speed settings.
Is the Tornado Body Dryer hands-free?
Yes — completely. You simply step into the airflow and the warm air dries your entire body without any need to reach, stretch, rub or handle a towel. This makes it particularly life-changing for people with limited mobility, arthritis, or physical disabilities.
What temperature does the air come out at?
The Tornado Body Dryer outputs warm air at approximately 100°F (38°C). The output temperature may vary slightly depending on the ambient temperature of your bathroom — typically 3-4°F above the room temperature.
Is it gentle on skin?
Absolutely. The warm air drying method is much gentler on skin than rubbing with a towel. It is particularly beneficial for people with sensitive skin, skin conditions, or anyone who finds towel drying uncomfortable or painful. There is no friction involved whatsoever.
Is it hygienic?
Yes — significantly more hygienic than towels. Damp towels can harbour bacteria and odours even after just one use. The Tornado Body Dryer uses fresh warm air every single time, eliminating the risk of bacteria transfer and cross-contamination. This is one of the reasons it is so popular in care homes, spas, gyms and hotel environments.
Is it energy efficient?
Yes. The Tornado Body Dryer uses approximately 0.145 kilowatts for a standard 3-minute drying cycle — that's roughly 0.15 kWh per use. When you factor in the energy and water costs of washing towels, many customers find the Tornado Body Dryer pays for itself over time, particularly in commercial environments where large volumes of towels are laundered daily.
Does it replace towels completely?
Most users find they no longer need towels at all after installing the Tornado Body Dryer. Some users prefer to use a small towel for their hair while the dryer handles the rest of their body. Either way the reduction in towel usage is significant.
Installation
How is the Tornado Body Dryer installed?
The Tornado Body Dryer is wall-mounted in the corner of a shower cubicle or wet room. A wall bracket is fixed at approximately 78 inches (198 cm) from the floor and 5.3 inches (13.5 cm) from the corner. The pod hangs from the bracket and the leg sections connect below it to the floor. Full installation instructions are included with every unit.
Does it need a special electrical connection?
Yes. The Tornado Body Dryer operates on 220/240V and requires a dedicated 240V circuit — the same type used for electric ranges, clothes dryers, and EV chargers in US homes. This is standard in most American properties and your electrician will be familiar with this type of installation.
Do I need an electrician to install it?
Yes — installation must be carried out by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local building codes. We strongly recommend a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) breaker for bathroom installations. Do not attempt to connect the unit yourself.
How long does installation take
Most electricians complete the installation within 1-2 hours. The mechanical assembly of the unit itself is straightforward and can typically be completed in under an hour.
Can the leg be shortened?
Yes — the bottom leg section can be reduced by a maximum of 17.3 inches (44 cm) to accommodate different installation environments. We recommend never cutting across the teardrop-shaped air pores when shortening the leg.
Can it be installed above a bath?
Please contact us at info@tornadobodydryers.com to discuss your specific installation requirements. Our team will be happy to advise on suitability for your bathroom layout.
What size space do I need?
The Tornado Body Dryer fits conveniently into the corner of a shower cubicle or wet room. The unit dimensions are 80.7 inches high x 10.8 inches wide x 10.4 inches deep (205 cm x 27.5 cm x 26.5 cm). We recommend a minimum shower enclosure size of 36 x 36 inches for comfortable use.
Where is the remote switch installed?
The remote switch can be mounted at any convenient location on the wall of your shower or wet room. It connects to the pod via a PVC hose connector. Your electrician will advise on the best position during installation.
Accessibility & Care
Is the Tornado Body Dryer suitable for people with limited mobility?
Absolutely — and this is one of its most important applications. The Tornado Body Dryer is life-changing for people with limited mobility, arthritis, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke recovery, and a wide range of physical disabilities. It eliminates the need to reach, stretch, balance on one foot, or handle a towel — promoting independence and dignity in daily living.
Is it suitable for elderly users?
Yes — the Tornado Body Dryer is widely used in care homes, assisted living facilities and private homes across the world by elderly users. It significantly reduces the risk of slipping or falling during the drying process and promotes independence.
Is it suitable for wheelchair users?
Please contact us at info@tornadobodydryers.comto discuss your specific requirements. We will be happy to advise on the most appropriate installation for wheelchair users.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes — the Tornado Body Dryer can be used by children aged 8 and above under appropriate adult supervision. Many families find it particularly useful for drying young children after bath time.
Is it used in care homes?
Yes — the Tornado Body Dryer is widely used in care homes and assisted living facilities. It helps promote resident independence, reduces the workload on care staff, eliminates the cost and effort of laundering towels, and provides a more dignified and comfortable drying experience for residents.
Is it suitable for people with sensitive skin?
Yes — warm air drying is significantly gentler than towel drying and is ideal for people with sensitive skin, eczema, psoriasis, or other skin conditions. There is no friction or rubbing involved at any point.
Commercial & B2B
Is the Tornado Body Dryer suitable for hotels and spas?
