I have a small sidekick blaster, it works great but it does take a long time to dry the bike even warm air.

I have the medium, $200.00 version.
A couple of minutes and you are done.
I love it. There's no place where water can hide from it.
I know there are cheaper leaf blowers and such, but I'm a little **** and I like filtered clean air on a wet bike. It works great for blowing my dog dry after a bath too.

Just my opinion, but they are overpriced and a leaf blower works just fine. Thats all I've ever used and it works great.

I have the Air Force Blaster Sidekick which I think is the small one and it does a good job of drying off the bike. It has a pretty strong motor in it and they claim it warms the air up 30" or so over ambient. Mine gets used all the time, even to blow out the dust in the computer. The motor is surprisingly strong for its size.....8 amps/950 watts. There is a foam filter in the base of it which keeps crap out of the air stream. I'm happy with mine but others may feel differently.

I have the 4hp model with the wall mount and I love it water cannot hide and it helps keep the black on my engine clean and black not like some of my friends bikes with the same time and miles on them. Just like another reply it also works great on my dogs and even good for dry cleaning them occasionally LOL.

Blaster Sidekick works great for me amd it is small enough to pack for trip. I even dry my TJ Jeep with it. I also have a Cheep orange one that works pretty good. I think is called Cycle Dry or somyhing like that.
