I wish to dry my CAR with this. Will I regret buying this over the 8HP version to save money?

I have the 4 HP model and I have no regrets having bought it. I was using it today. This is the only way I dry my cars...one less process of touching the paint. I think that you will save some money over the larger model. The advantage over a leaf blower is the air is heated and if you mulch leaves there may be some debris still in the rotor. I would suggest to get the wall mount which may be available on the OE site.

I use this unit to dry my motorcycles, and it is quite adequate for that. I think using it on a car would be too much to expect of it. Saving money by buying this smaller unit is not the way to go, in my opinion.

I've used the 4 HP unit to dry my larger SUV without issue. Its a well made unit. I did add wheel to the base unit. What also works as well if not better is a simple electric leaf blower. They generally have a tube extension on it and is easier to reach over the roof, etc.

I have a 2011 Shelby GT500 and this is the only way I dry it. I see they now have optional wheels for it, I am going to order them, that is the only thing that I don't like is that it falls over very easily, the wheels looks like it will give it more stability. I blow off the entire care and then I touch it up with a microfiber cloth, comes out great.

Depends what size car you have.I would not recommend buying a motorcycle dryer for a complete car drying experience.Maybe if you just want to dry off your car wheels or other chrome parts with it but not entire car.I've used it for that purpose once in a while on my F150 4X4 W/20" chrome wheels and other assorted chrome parts after washing,but not entire truck.I bought my 4hp metro for my H-D motorcycle and it works well enough for that.

It works great in my garden blowing leaves and debri. I'm sure you could dry a car but that's a strange question.

Yes I would recommend it. I also do deep conditioning on this dryer and I am very pleased.

I bought the two stage unit just for that reason. I collect cars, and the two stage unit is great. You can dry a car fast, no streaks, as always the less you touchthe paint. The less swirling. Another major advantage, with the blower unit, you can blow the water out from under trims, badges, light bezels, thats a big deal. Only issue the wheels are kind of cheap, no problem though. One of my kids had an old skate board. I put those wheels on. <Hint skate board wheels are great on it>

not for drying the car. but the other day i used it to blow off the tree blossoms/droppings, etc. i noticed that the blowing did not get off all the pollen clinging to the surface, so i doubt the drying power of the blower (and the capacity of the battery)

My husband used it on his classic car and it did an excellent job. The car dried faster than drying with a chamois. A few of the other folks in our car club also use it for that purpose and like the results.

No. You need other model for the drying function. However, I do not recommend this brand, because their model breaks, the customer service was horrible and the repair doesn't get done correctly; it still squirts the cold water and the water is still Luke warm. I complained, the repair guy told me that i was wrong. ?!?!??

It fit no problem. I was a little disappointed by the performance though. This is the first performance part I had ever put on a car so I didn't know what to expect. I felt I lost a lot of acceleration in lower gears. To me, the added hp at 6000 rpms does nothing for me. It uses the stock snorkel. I've never taken it to get tuned so maybe they can adjust it a bit but honestly, I don't think it did more than slow down my car where I was hoping to get more speed. But I'm a novice.

It's probably overkill if anything. You don't need 3,000 + PSI for washing cars. Maybe a truck. It's a heavy duty pressure washer though so it would not disappoint plus it would be good for other tasks.

Look for some independent testing. I found that for my application, this model produced the best hp gains. I doubt there is much real difference between the metal tube and a high quality machined plastic one. On my camaro I put the intake on first and there was a noticeable seat of the pants difference. Then I added the axle back dyno kit. My guess it the to combined added over 50hp.

I suppose....works great for drying cars....that's why I originally bought it.

What's a "toi" All fittings come in the box and are all different, which is why I chose this model, better horsepower and better price. I advise using a do it yourself trick called an automobile hydraulic car jack to hold the unit in place while you make the connections.

If you have a 20 amp line you should be ok. If your using this in a house your house cant be very old if it is old it needs to be atleast a 100 amp box. I had an old house converted to a salon and when two dryers were plugged into the same socket it would blow. But one alone plugged in is fine. In a salon with 8 dryers theres not enough room for every dryer to have its own plug. I will say that in a very busy salon that sees atleast 25 heads a day these dryers will only last 6-8 months. but the company will fix them for free ( send you a new one) for the first 2 yrs. These dryers only cost about 100 so after 2 yrs u have more than made your money back. let me know if you have any more questions. If you have a 20 amp line you should be ok.

Buy the 90. it works fantastic. I own a carwash with multiple underground pipes that need cleaning every 4-6 months. I cannot say enough about how well it works.

electric air dryer use more electricity and would dry your stuff very quick. dehumidifier dries things in a very slow manner, it generates very mild heat and i guess will be much safer to use and help you saving money on electricity bill.

A better question would be: is a 1875 watt dryer better than a 1500? Does it actually dry faster? Is one healthier for your hair? Watch out for claims made by manufacturers. If most dryers are 1875, then most manufacturers will boast that feature. I can only tell you my experience. It is extremely quiet and has good velocity. It gets plenty hot for me yet not as hot as some other dryers I have used. I like that because it does not get scorching hot enough to damage hair. Overall, it is a great higher end dryer, at a lower price heye at Amazon.

Yes it's amazing I highly recommend if u are experienced at blow drying. Not a beginner dryer. I have 3 at my salon and one at home. It's great
