RE: Blaster Motorcycle Dryer
Not to diss anyone here, I'd be very, very careful when using an air compressor to dry your bike.
Why?
Unless your compressor is equiped with a dryer/filter, you are at risk of damaging the paint on your bike whilst you blow the water off.
How can that be?
Most air compressors will have condensate in the tank. It's a byproduct of taking air and compressing it into the storage tank. Over time, the tanks rust. There is little you can do to avoid it... draining the water out every now and then helps, but condensation happens and so does rust.
Blowing your bike dry with compressed air with embedded rust particles is not a good idea.
My neighbor dried his bike for years with an air compressor. I guaran-stinkingtee he'll never do it again after finding the damage to the paint he had.
Just something to think about.

I have the Air Force - the 4hp version. The only precaution I have is DO NOT point it directly at the LCD display on the radio. It messes it up. The warm air works like a champ. I have used leaf blowers but found that some (not all I am sure) leave an oil residue. Buy the wall hook up and it will keep the unit out of your way.

Another WARNING !
If you get the Master Blaster (the one with 2 motors) beware it lists 19 amps !
After reading the spec's on both models I checked my power panel in my house
and my Garage circuit is only 15 amps. So if I did get one it would be the smaller one.

Most power panels are in the Garage anyway. If you needed to, if would be a 15 minute job to add a 20 amp circuit to the garage.
Very few garages will have only 15 amp circuits.
That being said. I have the 8 hp model & for my Bike. I think just running one of the 4 hp Motors would be plenty. If you're going to use them on your car, the 8 hp model might be a good idea, otherwise I would save some money and but the 4 hp model.
