A top member is fixedly connected to the base member above the container. The top member has a fan that is adapted to draw air from the exterior through an inlet port and discharge the air into the interior of the container to exit from the outlet port. A motor is secured to the top member, the motor being adapted to engage with and rotate the container relative to the base member and the top member, such that the air exiting from the outlet port is driven in a circular direction.
