| Hi, No idea if these have been discussed on the forum before but, just bought one. It has just air or warm air absolutely fantastic for drying all those nucks and crannies literally takes a couple of minutes to fully dry the bike. Well worth a purchase. |

| Hello mate, I looked at Bruhl dryers a few years ago and thought they were expensive. Then I had a look on eBay. They had lots of motorcycle dryers, all looking identical costing £60 to £100.
Then I noticed the portable pet dryers were identical in looks and power and heat output and were half the price. So I bought one and it's been ideal, especially during the winter months. It's powerful, at either 2800w or 3800w, hot and cold air, half and full power, long power lead, etc..
As you say they're great for blasting water out of all the nooks and crannies, and drying off hard to get to areas. |

| I've been using a cheap $30 USD, 2speed, 7amp electric/corded very lightweight leaf blower for years, to dry and blow dust of my vehicles, it also works great to blow/sweep garage and dust out of cvt, etc. |

| I originally used a Black & Decker rechargeable leaf blower as a stopgap dryer. OK for moving dust around but not powerful enough at blasting water out of all the nooks and crannies of a maxi scooter especially during the winter months.
This is where my pet dryer aces it, the powerful blast of heated air dries the scooter, it's surprising how much water is lurking in places like under the rubber mats after a hose down and wash. The dryer blasts all that water out and anywhere else you point the hose. |
