From what I hear it is good. But most people use their leaf blowers to do it.

I use compressed air. Works well, but you have to be carefull. Make sure you have a clean air filter in the compressor. Any suspended dust/pollen particles in the air can be accelerated by the air and be abrasive to the bike finish (same with a leaf blower).

Got one for Christmas and it's great. I used to think the leaf blower was good. Not sure if I' spend the money to buy one for myself, but I sure love having this one!

Call me crazy but I have a wee bit of a problem handling anything electrical near water or while standing in a puddle resulting from washing my bike. Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of moving my bike far once it has been washed. Gas powered for me.

I have a Cycledry and it works great! I even use it to blow stuff off my driveway.

I don't have any experience with the unit in question, but these bike washin' posts always make me wonder...How often do y'all wash your bikes anyway???

I've had the Heritage since 4/27, its got a little over 3000 miles. I usually just dust it off. I've only washed it once, after riding home it a rain storm it had road grime everywhere. When I did wash it I used my leaf blower to dry it, then pushed it into the garage and wiped it down.
