Has anyone ever used this? I'm wondering if it's worth it. I'm thinking about just the hand held one, but open to on of the more powerful models too.

I've got the handheld one and it's awesome! Of course, you'll have people saying "use a leafblower" (which I've done for years) but this sucker is efficient! The hand held one is great and I can't imagine what the large models can do. If you do buy the hand held, do yourself a favor and get the extension hose that way you won't have to stress about the metal body hitting the bike when you're moving it all around. I even use it on my car - no streaks on the glass . . . get it . . . you'll like it

 

I have the hand held at home and the big one at the shop. Well worth it. If you wash your bike regularly it will pay for itself very quickly.

Leaf blower

 

I bought the handheld through Amaz0n and it was definitely worth it. It does a great job and it blows heated air.

 

Plus if you hit the tank with it it's rubber. no boo boos.

 

I've been using a leaf blower but have been thinking about the Metro. Based on the opinions I see here, looks like I've found my next Christmas present! :-)

 

I as well have the hand held. The nozzle is rubber as Drew mentioned and won't harm your paint. Originally I thought about buying a larger model but my dealer had the hand held in stock and $80 cash it was mine. I'm glad I bought the hand held because it's light and works great. The larger unit unless mounted might be like lugging out the shop vac to clean the wife's car. A PITA.
Cheers!

 

The bigger one has twice the drying power but the little works great too.

I got the small one first, works great.
I bought the big one for my truck & car.
the big one is overkill for the bike but sure dries it in a hurry.
