Chemical Guys Acc_303 JetSpeed VX6 Professional Surface Air Dryer and Blower

Works a heck of a lot better than the exhaust hose from my Oreck :-)Blows a firm, steady stream of slightly warm air. Dries my car (and just anything else) with very little effort.I like the fact that it can also be used as a vacuum. Not a great one, but in a pinch, it beats the heck of going up 2 flights when I forgot the vacuum cleaner when I was staging to wash the car. I wouldn't plan on using it as a full service vacuum, but for small jobs, it's a nice plus for what is primarily a blow dryer. Most units only blow. This one blows and sucks (no puns intended).BTW, it even comes with an spare pair for brushes for the motor. That's a first for me, but a good omen. So far I love this thing. You can spend hundreds on a dryer, but at $53 bucks, this is a great value and a good starter unit for those who are tired of using towels to dry their car. This is a real labor savor.P.S. It sucks up dust, not water, but I'm not complaining. Having a small vacuum in a pinch is bound to come in handy.

This car dryer works really well and it is great at drying portions of the car and blowing water from cracks and crevices all around the car. The dryer is compact and not too heavy for one-hand use, and it is very powerful for its size. The dryer isn’t really big enough to quickly dry an entire car, but at its size, weight, and price, it really is a great auto detailing tool.

I was using a Metro Vac 'n' Blo for all my vacuuming and air-blowing needs. However, the Metro is a canister vacuum that you sling over your shoulder. It can be cumbersome.This is nice and compact. It blows just as strong. I haven't used it as a vacuum yet (I probably won't either; can't beat the Metro Vac 'n' Blo).The rubber "tip" has an incredibly STRONG rubber smell. I mean REALLY, REALLY strong. If it's indoors, it WILL make the room smell like rubber. Leaving it outside or in an extremely well ventilated area for several days is almost a must.It's very loud. It's also so much easier to maneuver than the Metro.If you need an excellent way to dry your car or engine, this is it.

This little dryer is pretty awesome. I was surprised at the power. It blows the water off a freshly washed car with ease. It works great in channels, like in the trunk, around spoilers, and side view mirrors. The only thing that, in my opinion, could make it better would be if it was cordless and if it had a little bit bigger opening on the drying tool - or came with 2, a larger one for large areas and the small one for the smaller areas. Overall a great product. I will say that my neighbors think I'm nuts as it looks like a hair dryer, and I've been teased about it... but it's OK. I can handle it :)

This gets the job done for small cars if you're drying in the shade. It's not powerful enough to dry faster than the sun on a sunny day.**edit after using for a couple of months the dryer just stopped working for no reason. Stopped blowing completely. Completely non functional. I only used it a handful of times so now I'm bumping my review down to 1 star for it being a faulty product.**

I bought this as a warehouse deal, so I saved quite a bit over normal retail on an item advertised as used, but it looked and worked as new. With that being said, it still simply does not live up to my expectations. The size is surprisingly small, but it still packs a pretty good punch. The small size makes it easy to handle, and the air comes out with a nice velocity, however it lacks any sort of usable range. I found it very useful for clearing water from all of the normal hiding places, behind door handles, trim, lights, wheels, etc. But when it came to the roof and hood of my Challenger, it was simply taking too long to justify the effort. Now, if you have a small vehicle, or even a motorcycle, this should suit you perfectly, I just feel that it is ineffective for drying an entire car. Since I got this for under $40, I wont return it, I can get some use from it, it just does not meet up to the hype in this case.

Don't toss out your towels. This little blower works for those hard to dry areas but if you plan to do your entire car with it you might be disappointed. It works well on the sides fine but flat areas like the top or hood not so much. It will blow off some of it but you still need to towel. I've not tried the more expensive blowers so I can't compare with those. Can't beat the price on this one though so it was worth a try. It did come with an extra set of brushes and a bag if you want to try it as a vacuum though I don't think I'll ever try to use it like that.

This is a cool little blower. No, it's not going to blow all of the water right off the car, but what I do is walk around the car with this and blow out all of the hard to dry areas like under spoilers, between panels and grills, and in side mirrors, and have it in one hand to blow the water out, and microfiber in the other hand to catch the water. Then I proceed to dry the rest of the panels in a conventional manner. Still saves tons of time. It's a bit loud though, so you won't be having any conversations while your're using it.
