I personally hate the orange dryers, the one I love the most is this one.

I don't mind the one you posted. It would be good for only doing a couple dogs a day.
For myself I have the doubleK one that buttercup posted a link too.
The only thing that sometimes gets annoying with the double K one is that the hose is kinda short, so if I have a bigger dog it's a little more difficult to reach everywhere I need to. Not really a huge issue though.

Awesome! I work tons so lately I've only been doing one a week so far, so that doesn't concern me. I can't wait to use it on the Shelties!! Handheld hair dryers get old REALLY fast.

Yeah, anything would be an improvement over a hand held hairdryer... lol
In the link buttercup posted the doubleK one was only $50 more than the one you are looking at though. I'm not sure how much you charge, but for me that would only be one dog's grooming. Might be worth it for a little more power.... just something to think about.

Binka Nugget, I'd just add one comment.

Alicia (Buttercup) gave you the link for the one she likes on Pet Edge. I buy almost all my pets needs from Pet Edge.

They DO offer the one you first mentioned, for quite a bit less that the $199 you posted.

In other words, comparing them from the same company, one appears to be quite a lot more product than the other.

Thanks for the info It is considerably cheaper but I just realized that after the exchange rate and shipping, It'll probably come out to the same as picking it up locally (I try to avoid internet shopping if I can).


Alicia & Tasha, is this the same one? I found it for $250 from a local supplier. Would I even need to upgrade to a better force dryer later on?

It's the same but a different model but that's ok.
The one I posted has 2 on/off switches we have one of those that doesn't work so I don't know what it does.
The orange dryers I find the hose gets hot really fast and makes you hands have a huge red mark from where you were holding it and the hose is just over all uncomfortable. The way the actual dryer sits too it's not stable, the double K dryer has little legs and is designed in a more sturdy way so it doesn't knock over.
