Challengeair Airmax

[PAWS]

I think I am in love! I just got it today and tried it on my own lab, he went from roughly toweled down to just a damp in about 3 minutes...no exaggeration! I used the small concentrator nozzle first, to blast off the majority of water, then the flat head (just cuz it looked cool) to run back and forth. I finished his ears with no nozzle on. All in all, he took me maybe 8 - 10 minutes total. Airmax, where have you been all my life, Darling????

Nice to know. I have a challenger but want a K-9 everyone says they are great and fast

I too just go the airmax. I blew through a collie in 20 minutes. NICE!

This is nice to know, I am thinking of getting the Airmax or K-9 so positive feedback is good!

Ya Damienono, you are the one who made me decide to finally get it! I was anxious to hear how you liked it. When you said it was great, I ran to Ryans! Today, I groomed a lab/dane mix with weird "waxy" hairs. She took longer than I wanted to dry, but still a lot less than with my old dryer. I dried a German Sheperd with lots of undercoat in about 20 minutes or a little more, but he was sooo wiggly. Still, I am so pleased with it. I got a sample of Grimenator with mine...shoulda used it on the waxy dog!

I have another hairy (shep/lab) to do on monday, so I will put it through another test. I want to wash my own dogs, but my back say's NO!

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks, this is really good info for me, cause I'm making out my list of what I want to get. Thanks for the tip!

What is the difference between the K9-II and the Airmax as far as how well they work? I have a K9-II and love it...Thanks-

I have heard from others that the Airmax is quieter. Don't know for sure.

I just ordered my new dryer. I decided to go with the Air Force Master Blaster. I hope I did the right thing!!

There are some who put the drier in a cooler. Cut a hole in one end for the filter and another one in the other end for the hose to exit and you have a ready-made, insulated box that will help preserve your hearing! I have never used either one for a long period of time but they both seem loud to me after the two I have. (Hanvey Hi-V Gold and Romani Junior)

My Airmax is a loud soft whoooshing noise if that makes sense, it is not high pitched...I don't think it's really bad at all. All my doggies get ear plugs anyhow, and now I need a pair for when I use the concentrator nozzle...when it is close to the dog, it does get pitchy.

I like that idea. I store mine under my table, and I don't think a cooler will fit there, but I may try to figure something out.

Great idea!

I had heard of building a box for the dryer, but I had never heard of putting it in a cooler! That is soo much better, plus better insulated! Do you need to put a few holes in the cooler so the dryer doesn't overheat in there?

You would have to cut a hole in the end where the filter is. and a hole in the other end for the hose.
