This heating blower has a housing, a fan, a heater, and an electrostatic atomizing device. The electrostatic atomizing deviceis provided in the housingand discharges nanometer-size ion mist to the outside. The electrostatic atomizing devicecomprises a discharging electrode, an opposed electrodedisposed opposite the discharging electrode, a cooling partwhich cools the discharging electrodeto generate moisture from ambient air near the discharging electrode, and a high voltage applying partwhich applies a high voltage between said discharging electrode and the opposed electrode to atomize water generated near the discharging electrode. Therefore, this heating blower can discharge nanometer-size ion mist to the outside without replenishment of water.

In an electrostatic atomizing hairdryer, electrostatically atomized mist generated in an electrostatic atomizing unit is effectively scattered into airflow emitted from a main body of the hairdryer so that the mist can be sprayed to hair uniformly and a time necessary for treatment of hair can be shortened. A tank constituting the electrostatic atomizing unit is detachably provided on a portion in the vicinity of an outer periphery of the main body, and an electrode unit for generating the mist is provided in a path of airflow sucked in an inside of the main body so as to be insulated from heat of a heating unit by an adiabator. A mist emitting opening from which the mist is emitted is disposed on a plane substantially the same as and at substantially the center of an air exit opening of the main body. Thereby, the mist emitted from the mist emitting opening is effectively scattered into the airflow emitted from the air exit opening.
