"Works well to quickly dry my Labradoodles. Like other dryers this size, it depends on heat from the motor(not a heating element) to warm the air; as a result, it takes about 30 seconds to warm up. Once warm, it does a great job to quickly dry my dogs hair. If this machine generated any more wind..."

"Loud & does not get very warm blows mostly cold air."

Bottom Line

It's a good choice for grooming shops or individuals looking for quick and effective drying, but be prepared for the noise and potential durability issues.
