Could not have my dog without it Mar 31, 2008 By Kirk Walker
I love this blower. I just bought a second one for my weekend house. I blow off my furry dog every other day and dry him with this after baths or rainy walks. He gets dusty after a few days, but this blower ends that. This would be great for people who are allergic to dog dander. Just blow it away. I just wish my wife's cats would keep still so I could blow off their loose fur ;-) My dog actually looks forward to me using this on him. He runs to me when I turn it on.
I even use it to blow the dust out of the car seats. When my wife is away, I use it to dust the house! They sell the same blower as a motorcycle dryer.

Awesome multi-tasker May 19, 2009 By Wolvenmoon "Wolvenmoon"
I use this to easily dry off dogs after a bath, it also really helps with shedding. (I have a german shepherd, they shed ALL the time). When using it, don't be afraid to put the tip of the precision nozzle up into their fur and use small, fast circles to blow out the most moisture and shed fur.

Be careful using this on paws. Keep it away from the animal's face. In general, do not use it on extremities or areas with thin fur. If the dog has been shaved recently, do not use it on their bare skin. This is more powerful than a leafblower, be conscious of where you point it. If you drop the hose, it's going to look like an acme cartoon.

I also use this for other things. I'm a computer geek, for example, and this can clean out a computer much faster than canned air can - and is actually safer because you have no risk of spraying refridgerant onto your components.

Pros:
-Multitasker
-Two speeds
-Does not get hot and burn the dog
-Reduces shedding, can dry a dog off completely, and adds just the right amount of 'poof'.
-Grounded so as not to create static and make long coated dogs' fur clingy (and it doesn't fry computer parts!)

Cons:
-Sort of loud, keep it as far away from the dog and you as you can.
-Control ring on the nozzle feels cheap
-Funnel attachment tends to blow off like a rocket, keep a hand on it at all times when you use it!
-Misuse can very rapidly scare an animal for life.

Other thoughts:
-This is not a toy, but a very powerful tool. Don't let kids use it to dry the dog, ever.
-Positive reinforcement is a good thing, have treats when you use it
-Remember not to point it at ANY bodily orifices! Period!
-Don't forget to clean the filter.
-If you use it for computers, do so on mildly humid days. Do not do it where a bird can potentially 'bomb' the system. Do not do it indoors. Have the computer outside for no more than 5 minutes. If you're paranoid, loop a ground wire around the case of the computer and this thing's metal case, scratch the paint to insure a ground.

Great blower Oct 10, 2007 By D. Brake
I am very happy with this product. It has 2 speed settings which is nice to acclimate the dog to the sound/force. The lower setting does take longer to dry the dog, but for dogs with less undercoat (or are nervous) this setting is fine.

The air comes out cool, and warms a bit over time. The true "drying" comes from blowing the water off the dog. I use this for dog shows and after normal baths and I am very happy with the results. I have a medium coated dog with a dense undercoat and it takes about 15 minutes to dry out my dog's coat which usually takes hours to air dry or 45+ min with a hair dryer. My dog has even learned to enjoy this time. He will lean into the air when it hits "the spot".

Not for the novice or small dogs Dec 28, 2009 By Jay
I purchased this product but will be returning it for a less powerful model. Although the product appears well built, it was advertised as being appropriate for small dogs. I found the power to be way too strong to use on my Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. An attached label says not to use the product on low speed for extended periods however the advertisement said that the low speed was for use on small dogs. I can't even imagine using the product to dry their ears even on the low speed. I am not a professional groomer and wanted the product for home use.

The product arrived very quickly and appears to be very well built. I just didn't find it appropriate for use on my small dogs because it was just too strong.

Blast them Straight Feb 14, 2009 By Jean M. Urban "thestarsPP"
Works great on both my toy and standard poodles. Really makes them straight as you brush and dry them out. A bit scary at first for them to get used to but well worth the money and no harming them with to hot air from regular personal hair dryers.
