Another blower option

Yeah, I was checking that price to see if it was CDN dollars. You can get an EGO 765 CFM up to 200 MPH blower and an aftermarket shorty spout for around $350, and that ain`t cheap. It appears the EGO outclasses the above blower in most measurable standards but understand that the 765 CFM rating is with the turbo switch depreased and drains it rather quickly. You can set the adjustable lock to 580 CFM and it runs for over an hour.

I wonder if BLOWR CHARGD rating is under a similar situation. The BLOWR CHARGD does come with a wall charger which would be nice.

Mine came with a 5.0 Ah battery but I believe they also come with 7.5 Ah batteries. Mine is heavy enough as it is. Great yard blower and the spout makes it a great car blower. I use it to blow 2" deep snow off of the porches and steps regularly. I do use the long spout for that purpose. I`d buy an EGO again in a blink.
 
Yeah price is crazy. You can get Ego 765cfm. Stubby nozzle and second 5ah battery for $100 less.

I thought it at least be warm and filtered air but no mention… also battery 4ah….

I can’t see why anyone in the world with access to Ego would buy this.

Also I feel there PW is a rebranded Amazon special. Ones available half the price with exact same design, has brushless motor and knobs and connections in same places…

Huh, I have been looking, but the EGO especially but all battery powered stuff seems too heavy .. I have an old Stihl and a DeWalt 20V blower
 
Surprised by this comment. Go take a look at comparable specs on Stihl, Echo or Husky. The weight of the EGO`s are very comparable to the better machines. I gave an Echo to my Son and a Stihl to my SIL when I got the EGO. The weight of these machines was about the same.
 
GearHead1:
How long timewise do the blower batteries last?
IE, can you do a large vehicle on one charge, including the wheels without changing battery packs?
 
Yeah, no problem (assuming we`re not talking a 30 ft. motorhome). If you run it flat out on the trigger (765 CFM), it`s only about 20 minutes but the handle has a dial on it that I believe limits it to 580 CFM and though I`ve never timed how long it will run, I have a ton of concrete in my yard, probably 20 minutes clean up lawn clippings. I can probably handle the entire yard 2 - 3 times before I just instinctively throw the battery on the charger.

I`ve never run it all the way down and drying a car takes perhaps 20 minutes tops. It`ll do that with ease. The trigger is variable speed so as long as you aren`t squeezing it for everything it`s got I can`t imagine you`ll have issues drying a car. It has a light (gas gauge so to speak, round with 5 sections) on the back of it. You can monitor how low the charge is getting.
 
My 8HP MetroVac blower has never let me down, I am super happy with it. The BigBoi stuff looks cool but mine is set up perfect for me.

Yes !!! I have the same Metrovac blower since they first came out... it`s a beast a blowing anything dry very quickly...

In Detailing, you want the water off the just washed vehicle, engine, engine, compartment, inside of trunk, etc., off now, so you can start the next stage...

My Metrovac long canister vacuum, Steamer, and Mytee HP60 Extractor, give me perfectly cleaned, dried, Interiors, floors, and cloth seats every time..

Clients often say - when they see it - "That`s not my car!" And it always is... :)
