DP Turbo dryer review

Hmm.....very tempted. Would like to hear from someone who's used this vs. the regular van n blow (as that's what I'm using right now)

I've got the vac n blo, just never used it as blower.

This has less set p since it's grab n go v. switch hose, remove filter ............
 
Ronkh- Glad you like it! It looks like it'd be pretty easy to hook up a shoulder strap, judging by your pics of the thing. I think you'll find that the more you use it, the more your technique with it will evolve. Took me quite a few washes to get the whole "blowdry" thing dialed in just right.

Angus- Based on my experience with something similar, there are no issues related to having it on a shoulder strap. Natural posture/stance/etc. seems to hold the blower unit relatively in place, and holding onto the hose/nozzle keeps everything under control.

agreed.

first use, and in a rush to get ready for a car show.

i'm sure it will become more natural to use.
 
Hows the blower housing held together? Is it with screws or glue? Does access to the guts seem possible?

My thinking is, if eyes can be securely added to either side, a single strap could be put through one of the handles, and presto you have a very simple backpack strap. Like this:

(air intake side would face out)

I'll let ya know in a little while when I drag my lazy butt out to look :D
 
I still can't believe how similar it looks to my 6hp Wet/Dry Vac w/ Blower.
Looks to be around the same price too.

I use the orange hose for dedicated Vac and then the black hose as a dedicated blower.
As you can see I had to cut the black hose in half to make it the perfect length for me.

I too am looking for some kind of shoulder strap so when you find one….Let Me Know! :)

I wonder how they compare to one another…….

Ah, OK. See how that works, but (assuming their website is working OK, and it's sometimes doesn't..) check out the AirWand. I bet it'd hook up to your blower just fine.

It has been pointed out on AGO that it is made by shop vac and even comes with a shop vac program in the box. All you need now is the hose end.
