Forget all of that, go with a master blaster 8hp with a 30 foot hose, it is the BEST for drying (Coupled with a Dry me a river towel).

Although I`ve never used a Metro I have seen and held one. The hose alone on the BigBoi would make me choose it. I hate PIA hoses and the BigBoi is much more substantial in that area.
Probably a personal thing cuz I work for a swimming pool service company and hoses are a particular thorn in my side...I gave the BigBoi Mini a quick try last fall and the minute I saw and felt the hose, I was in. Yeah, hoses bug me that much
In the pool biz, best analogy is Professional Grade vs. Consumer Grade. When I first saw BigBoi hose I immediately thought of the Professional Grade 50ft vac hoses we use at work. To us, they`re known as `double helix` hoses and when not stretched out, have a flatter texture, no prominent ridges between the coils. A bit heavier but far, far easier to deal with when coiling, un-coiling.
The consumer grade are thinner walled, stiffer, more prone to tangling and harder to coil and un-coil. Prominent ridged texture whether stretched out or at rest. They`re a bit lighter but who cares when it`s a kinky, tangled mess?
See, I`m getting all worked up about stupid hoses. Anyway, the hose in particular was the reason I never jumped in to the whole air-drying thing before...all of `em just seemed irritating to me. While the 30ft hose on the BlowrPro is a bit heavier, it`s just so much more enjoyable to use, stretched out to 30ft or in shorter needs. Like anything, all a personal preference but for me, the hose on all the other units I tried or just held was a deal killer. Now to see if the BigBoi hose can handle a few years of being dragged across my driveway.
Although the hose is nicer (Trust me I love quality hoses), the MB 30 I keep on for two reasons. 1. that hose has been dragged across cement, gravel, oil, rust, hundreds of times and it works perfect. 2. Parts from MV are always available and can be bought directly on the website (Including motors and switches).

I`ve been dragging the cumbersome hose of my Master Blaster across my asphalt driveway for more than seven years now. The air concentrator is beginning to split, but the hose is still in perfect condition.
And my Blaster gets very hot in the summer. It`s so hot after about twenty minutes that it`s difficult to hold without gloves.
