A dryer is the most important purchase a Groomer will make for their business. There are 3 different types of dryer available, Blasters, Finishing Dryers and Combination machines.
Blasters are also known as High-Velocity dryers. These actually can be used to carry out a number of different tasks during your groom. Initially, and most importantly, they will use a high-velocity jet of air to shoot water from the coat, this will obviously help cut down the drying time. Blasters can also be used to aid with de-shedding, and can also help straighten the hair on some coat types. These dryers can also aid with de-matting and the removal of undercoat.
Single Motor Blasters
These are blasters with one motor, this results in a lower air velocity and traditionally the blasters are quieter. For this reason, we generally recommend a single motor blaster as a backup machine in busy salons but they are also ideal for use on nervous dogs and puppies to get them used to being dried with a blaster. Examples of these dryers are as follows:

Dual Motor Blasters
These blasters have 2 motors, this generally results in a higher air velocity. These are fantastic primary blasters for any salon and due to increased power will decrease your drying time drastically. Examples of these dryers are as follows:
