DP Turbo dryer review

[Ronkh]

A shoulder strap would make me too nervous - with my luck the unit would swing forward and hit my car...

ok, shoulder and belt loop clip ?

Hmmm, maybe.

Hey Vega, how about running a DP Blower give away contest so i can try and win it/ figure out to modify it to work with backpack straps.

Plus I could compare it to my Master Blaster and do a pros/cons review.

Come on man! By b-day is even coming up...

Thanks Steve. That actually has me wondering if maybe 2 straps and wear it like a back pack........

Thanks for the review!

Nice review Ron. Did I see a little raised spot on the fender?

[House of Wax]

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 ............

Shudda come to detail fest. It was pointed out, time and time and time again..... Not just by me

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.

Great review Ron. I can`t wait to break mine out this weekend. Weather and warmth permitting !!!!

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)
