I've been using a Master Blaster dryer for my cars and bike for about 4 months now. Don't know how I got by without it. I've tried leaf blowers, vacuums, and cheaper blowers and NONE worked nearly as well as this unit. I bought the top of the line 8HP unit. Yes, $300 is a lot of money (may find it on Ebay cheaper) BUT it will pay for itself in time saved as well as wear and tear on the paint. On the bike, it is the ONLY way to get all of the water out of the tight spots. Say what you will about leaf blowers, this unit blows WARM and FILTERED air. I also use it instead of a vaccum to blow out the inside of my cars. It works GREAT!

Anyone else have one? Please chime in.

If you're using a leaf blower, I don't need to hear how you saved money. I already tried that route. Thanks anyway.

Ok.......[sm=icon_quiet.gif].[sm=laughat.gif] [8D]

 

Yup, I concur........>>>

 

Glad to hear you are so pleased with your purchase.

 

got the master blaster sidekick. ($99) used it today for the first time. no need for a towel, and as mentioned, gets all the water out of the cracks and crevices. try it once and you wont regret it.

 

How about a towel?

 

What is the difference? Why did you go with the cheaper one?

 

I use JB Weld .... Dry's the bike in seconds!

 

I've been using a microfiber towel. Works OK but as soon as you take off for a ride, the water runs out of all the nooks and now you've got streaks and water spots. I know I sound like a real cleannut but the real reason is that I'm somewhat lazy. It only takes 3 minutes to dry my bike this way. I can wash and dry it in 15. Now I wash it more often because it's so easy. It's still the best $300 I've spent to keep my cars and bikes looking good. I started this thread just to let everyone know about this great product. My time is worth something so I figure it pays for itself every time I use it.

BTW, the smaller units they sell are cheaper and may work just as well. I wanted something that I could use to dry may cars not just my bikes.

 

30 Gal Compressor was cheaper and I can use it for many other things.
