PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bathroom dryer for sufficiently securing ventilation performance from a second room by a simple configuration while securing circulation performance on the side of a bathroom. SOLUTION: The bathroom dryer DM includes a bathroom exterior suction port 11 positioned on the upstream side of an air blower 15 and sucking air from the second room other than the bathroom; a filter 33 provided at a bathroom suction port 13; a partition wall member 20 provided so as to make a space between a suction port 151 of the air blower 15 and the filter 33 become an isolated space; a damper 204 positioned within the space isolated by the partition wall member 20 and covering a flow passage leading from the bathroom exterior suction port 11 to the suction port 151 of the air blower 15 so as to freely open/close the flow passage; and a damper 206 covering the bathroom suction port 13 so as to fully open or partially close it freely. During execution of a circulation mode, the damper 204 is fully closed and the damper 206 is fully opened. During execution of a ventilation mode, the damper 204 is fully opened, and the damper 206 is partially closed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
