I have been using my Metro Quick Draw Pet Dryer for a while now and its kinda my old faithful, Lovely little machine for "little dogs" however after a talk with my landlord I have gotten permission to do large dogs... and suddenly my Metro Quick Draw... just doesnt cut it. I love it because its quiet and pretty poweful concidering its size, at 18,000 fpm, with the new "big" clientel a new dryer will pay itself off in the first month. because my landlord lives upstairs Id like a dryer as quiet as possible, or one with two speeds so that when they are home I can use one speed. I want one with a bit of heat, I love do ALOT of poms, and poodles, and need to straighten coat, I want the shortest drying time as possible (need that be said?) My budget is preferably $350ish, but if there's a dryer for $400 that outranks them all by far I;m willing to bend my budget for some. the dryers I have been researching are:
Laube Magnum force 30,000 fpm $238
(a little lower fpm than I wanted but love the extra vac shedding rake and its well within my budget at $238)
Metro Airforce master blaster 58,500 fpm $308
(Definately like the fpm of this model, and at $308 its also within my buget, however I used this model at the salon i used to work for and it was a "screamer" it squeeeeeeled a high pitch squeel, athough it was pretty banged up and the hose was being held on with ducttape, so I dont know if its the screaming was normal?)
k9I 42,000 fpm $314
(everyone raves about there K9s, so I'm keen on the idea of acquiring one myself, but have heard they are loud, and don't really mind the noise myself, but my landlords living upstairs might if they can hear it.. however with the option of two speed if i cut the power in half, the noise shouldn't be an issue $314)
k9II 59,329 fpm $360
reasonably close to my budget this dryer has the power, colours, and price i need but if noise will be a major concern for my landlords living upstairs (but gone 8am-5pm mon-friday, and home during the summer)
k9III 60,921fpm $405
(eek for the budget but have heard rumor of it being quieter than other k9s? and the power is a definite be all end all... do K9's warm up well? have you used one? This would be the top of my budget, but also something that i wouldn't have to "upgrade" anytime soon... how long would it take to do a husky with a dryer like this? or any other breeds...?)
Airforce Turbo two speed 61,000 fpm $389
With more air fpm and a smaller price tag, this is the one i'm leaning towards but cant seem to find any reviews, and that worry's me... what better place to find out the nitty gritty on this dryer with great specs?)
As my salon is home based I don't need one that is Mobile friendly (yet).. so amps shouldn't be an issue as long as it doesn't blow a circut in my suite..... >.< ... i don't pay electricity,, so the bills on my landlords
Mid aswell ask here as well im hearing great things about best shot ultra max shampoo for speeding up drying time, and time is money.... any other suggestions or is best shot the winner.
