Car Dryers - Blo Air S, RS etc

[garylythgoe]

Has anyone got an experience with the car dryers, such as the Blo Air-S, or Air-RS etc.

Looking to get in to help dry off my Exige, motorbike etc.

I see forums talking about cheap 'pet' dryers off amazon, right up to the fancy brands on the detailing websites.

Any insights would be appreciated.

Had a cheap pet dryer (£30 ish off eBay) and it was OK, but pretty much packed up after a year. Picked up a metrovac SK-1 in an Amazon sale and it’s been far better. I suspect the fancier ones are even better.

Metrovac has far more power and I prefer the more compact nature of it (hose on the pet jobbie was a bit short) so I can have a drying towel in one hand and the blower in the other. Really does chase out water very well.

I've been using one of the ebay pet dryers for at least 5 years - does the job of chasing water out of all the nooks & crannies just fine (I don't use it to dry the car).

A friend has a Bigboi BlowR (suit you sir) which I've used on numerous occasions and yes it is more powerful which I don't necessarily think you need but the heater function no longer works and the hose frequently departs the housing which is infuriating.

Cheers,

Chris

I got an eBay special which was about 30 quid and for the price it's great for stopping the water runs,the only two negatives are it's loud and the cable is a bit short (6'),but overall I'm impressed
