Need portable dryer which one is best?

Hi everyone-

Which portable high velocity blow dryer do you like and which grooming brushes work best on aussies? Getting ready to return to the show ring and want to buy quality stuff at a reasonable price. Everything needs to be portable though.

Thanks Kimberly

I second Francine's suggestion. We LOVE ours... we have used it for 7 years now. No problems (knock on wood!)

p.s.... Want to see Tango updated photos!!!!

I personally enjoy the groommaster molting rake. It seems to stip what loose hair I want gone and keep the shiny top coat. It is a nice side item and travels really well.

Double K Challangeair 2000XL is my preference. It works great and because it has a thick plastic housing I am not as concerned about a short to the housing causing a shock. That is not to say I don't inspect it periodically. I just worry about how wet the area is where I bathe and groom.

I agree with above, double K dryers are my favorite! I am a groomer and have used multiple types and this one just doesn't compare to others!
I'm not a fan of metro at all- though they do last but in my experience with them they are just loud and heat up quickly, and some aren't as strong. I bought a metro for 100$ and it sits and is my backup drier if my other one ever breaks.
