There were other variations of those small hair/laundry dryers. Wagner and Sunbeam IIRC also had models.
They all were from an era when "nice" girls still laundered their danties by hand and usually left things to hang dry. Anyone growing up through say the 1970's probably well remembers entering a bathroom and having to duck stockings, slips and other undergarments drip drying over the bathtub. This was also the era of "wash and sets" with curlers so you needed a way to dry one's hair. Small portable soft bonnet hair dryers were seen as "modern" and certainly more portable than the hard shell versions. Sadly for Ronco and the rest many females the blow dryer replaced wash and sets and the washing machine (with or without a dryer) all that hand washing. | ||

You can find those sort of dryers all over eBay
Along with thrifts, garage sales and so forth. Many in NIB or otherwise mint condition.
As with so many appliances sold/foisted upon the female consumer market they were not a resounding success. The hair dryer market was saturated with all types of bonnet units both hard and soft, portable and stationary. As for drying intimate apparel these units didn't hold very much. With the rise of nylon and other man-made fibers for undergarments you really shouldn't put such things in any dryer. Besides they will drip dry quite quickly. | ||

Actually, you did not use it while the clothes were drying because it would fill m'lady's hair with lint. The lint would probably eventually clog the little holes in the inner bonnet. | ||

That "Thing"
Is an old school permanent wave machine which is where Bugs gets the idea to substitute sticks of dynamite.
