Modified pet dryers are basically all bike dryers are. That is very similar to my Bruhl. The only possible differences are mine looks to have a longer hose and it maybe runs a bit hotter and blows a bit harder, but for twice the price. A pet dryer for large dog will work just as well.

In the brief period during which I owned an off-road bike (before I finally noticed the high number of bandages and casts at the club events!), I was warned by multiple riders that a pressure sprayer, although basically necessary to get all the crud off an off-road bike BUT to NEVER point it at any crevice or joint that had lubricant behing it or needed to keep moisture out of whatever was behind it. Also how a carelessly aimed pressure sprayer could get water into unseen places where it caused RUST.

Be careful. A pressure sprayer can get water into places where you do not want it, and an air compressor psi setting set too high can blow water and missed dirt right into places where you do not want it.

Yep, it takes me some pain but I eventually learn. Took out wheel bearings on my YZ125 as a kid.
It does take time and elbow grease to clean up the bike in the garage with misting water but there’s not enough paint on any of my bikes to justify hosing them down.
And we have massive amounts of insects to splatter on everything. When you ride fast they don’t bounce.
