    This dryer is what I've been using for a while now. Is much better quality and lasts longer than the orange dryers.
    Owned by two little pastries!


    REST IN PEACE GRACIE. NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T MISS YOU.

    Mine also has two motors (thus two switches) so I think that makes it a little more powerful. If you got it then there would be no need to upgrade at a later date. It's what I have for my business.

    LOL my own personal opinion.... I MUCH MUCH prefer the Air Force dryers over the Double K dryers.... Professional handlers I know have a double k and when I am doing baths for them and getting their client dogs ready to go to shows I always use my Air Force dryer on them all.... these are Collie and Shelties I'm using it on.... on occassion an aussie or a border collie..... I think my air force dyer has more force than their double k.... and I can get the dogs done much faster with mine... and I typically will wash/blow out 5-12 dogs for them... depending on how many they are taking to shows that weekend...

    I've had my air force dryer for several years... I don't remember what model or type it is.. its up in the kennel and I've been fighting off the Flu for the last week so I'm not gonna go walk up to the kennel to check right now LOL
    If you're gonna breed Collies, don't you forget to breed in the brains and common sense. Without that you won't have a Collie, you'll have just another dog.

    I agree with Spiritwind, I much prefer Air Force over Double K. We have a few of the Double K cage dryers, but I don't like their force air dryers.

    We have one of the orange Air Force dryers. We use it for small, fragile dogs and for faces and ears.

    We recently bought one of these dryers: http://grooming.petedge.com/Metro-Ai...CategoryId=263. Holy cow, it is a seriously powerful dryer! It has two motors, up to 8 horsepower. We can dry probably three dogs with new dryer in the same time we could dry one with the orange dryer.
