Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I recently got a poodle which meant I soon learned about his needs for frequent grooming, something my other dogs never needed. I decided to use our hand held hair dryer rather than spend a lot of money on a more heavy duty one thinking that ours was just fine. Well, if you have ever tried to dry and brush a curly coated poodle that does not like being bathed or dried off, let me tell you, using human hair dryer is a nightmare. I did it 2 times before I began researching professional grooming dryers because I knew I wasn't gonna make it through another bath with the one I had… Somehow my researching brought me to this dryer. Sounded too good to be true but I decided to take the plunge and order one to see if all the reviews really were accurate. First off, it arrived in record time. Securely packaged which is sometimes questionable when ordering items from Amazon. Second thing that got my attention was the quality of the machine itself. This is one well made machine reminiscent of how things were made when I was younger. I sense it will last a long, long time. Simple to use with large switches which are helpful when handling a shivering wet dog. Third feature that delighted me is how quiet this dryer is even when going full tilt. It is indeed quieter than our human hair dryers! Fourth positive aspect is that it stands solidly next to my grooming table so my hands are freed up to hold and brush my dog. Yes, I do have to hold the hose but that is nothing compared to holding onto a human hair dryer. Flexible handle makes it very maneuverable and the attachments come in handy though I find I don't really need them - at least not yet anyway. Fifth treat was how quickly it dried off my sopping wet pooch. Cut my time in half - just as other reviewers have mentioned. I was not disappointed on this front either. Finally, it is compact and easy to store away when not in use. Oh, one more thing, replacement parts are available and do not cost an arm and a leg and, for my order, the shipping was free. I know I am in love with this little Flying Pig and I am hoping that someday my scared little poodle will warm up to it and appreciate that it gets the job done much more quickly than our old hair dryer.
