SHELANDY Groomer Partner Pet Hair Force Dryer Dog Grooming Blower with Heater (Blue)

I got this dryer today and used it after my dog's bath. It was pretty easy to put the hose together, although I think the instructions could have been a bit more detailed (it's just a series of images). It also comes with an extra filter, but I didn't know that until I opened the back to put the included filter in and saw there already was one inserted.For anyone confused, take the little ridge ring that's on the hose off (it slides right off), stick that side of the hose onto the cylinder section sticking out of the vacuum, then put the ring back onto the hose in the same spot. The ring has little plastic clips that "lock in" to the ridge on the vacuum's cylinder piece, so the hose can't fly off. For the filter, just unscrew the little metal knob on the backend of the vacuum and pop the filter in or out.The vacuum had a slight plastic smell for the first minute of using it, but it went away quickly. I noticed the hose felt mildly hot while using it without the heat turned on, but the actual airflow wasn't hot (I kept checking throughout drying my dog to make sure). It took a little while to dry her, and the airflow never got any hotter, which was what I was hoping for.My dog is very anxious about anything new, so she was pretty scared at first by the loud noise and the power of the airflow. It's quite a bit louder and stronger than a standard human blowdryer, especially with an attachment on the hose. I did little short "trials" with her at first and also blew it on myself a few times to show her it wasn't scary or painful. She's very praise-driven, so I made a huge happy deal about her letting me blow it on her for a few seconds at a time. After a few tries, she calmed down and let me blow it at her for a full dry session; she almost seemed to enjoy it once she realized it was drying her (she doesn't enjoy being wet).The hose is luckily long because she wanted to sit across the bathroom from me the majority of the dry session, so I could still get at her easily. The air is fairly strong with an attachment on the lowest setting, but I slowly ramped it up to about 1/4 power as I went. I'm not sure you'd want to ever use the max airflow on a dog, and you should be careful with the power level if you're drying at a closer range to your dog than I was; my dog is double-coated, and 1/4 power easily parted her fur down to her skin from a couple feet away and could blow on my skin hard enough to make a "dent" at about 6 inches away. It was definitely much faster than a normal blowdryer, but it wasn't quite as fast as I was hoping for. I think using the heat would shorten the time quite a bit, but she gets hot easily, so I didn't try it out this time.She always has a bunch of big cowlicks on her back. I was hoping this dryer would be able to straighten those out, but her fur really wants to dry wavy there, so it unfortunately was already drying all wonky before she let me do her back. I'm hoping she'll let me use the comb-like attachment after a few more baths to see if that helps finally smooth out the fur there.

I’ve only used it once so far, but I felt compelled to write a review. This dryer is fantastic! My dog is short/medium haired, but he’s double coated and his coat is very dense. It used to take me hours to get him fully dry, using a combination of several towels and my hair dryer. When I first turned this dryer on, I couldn't believe how strong the air flow was on the lowest setting, and was thrilled that the warm air temperature was just right and it never got hotter. You can tell the quality of this dryer by the hose alone. It’s a proper, sturdy, very well made hose (as are all of the accessories) and it’s a breeze (pun intended 🤣) to use. Considering how strong the air flow is, it’s remarkably quiet. My dog is very tolerant of grooming, but was a bit taken aback by the power of this dryer, then quickly realized there’s nothing to be scared of. I’m so impressed and I only hope it will continue to operate just like this for years to come.P.S. Yes, there was a faint plasticky smell when I first turned it on, but it quickly dissipated.

Arrived today. Bathed my golden retriever and used this to dry him. Wow! It works very well. I am totally impressed and happy with it so far. Again only this one use and I’ll update in the future if something goes wrong. I will say this - my dog is always hot. He prefers cold baths and cold blow dry. Even with the heat turned off, this blower still pushes warm air. Not hot, but certainly warmer than ambient air in my house. It’s not a problem for me, yet, but just take note. Also, warm or hot air helps dry the dog faster and better in my opinion. I just like to use cold to avoid my dog getting uncomfortable. I was hesitant to make this purchase based on the price. I do feel like this thing is overpriced as are every single one of the comparable blow dryers. But after using it, I would say I would pay this money again.

It's a pain trying to get our 18 lb Cavapoo dry after a bath. My wife's blow dryer left a lot to be desired for the task. I decided to get this dog dryer and give it a try. It does a better job, but it's still a chore to get him dry. The heat is either on or off, but the fan speed can be adjusted. We wish it had some level of heat adjustment (at least High/Low). It isn't necessarily less noisy than a hair dryer, but at least the noise is not up close to the dogs face. The unit seems to be good quality.

This dryer is much stronger than I was expecting. I’m able to dry my 85lb golden retriever in about 30 min. If he stayed still it would probably be faster 😂 I have not used the heat setting at all and the air does get warm the longer you use it even without the heat. It comes with a lot of attachments, a brushing glove, and a second filter. The hose comes off which helps for storage and the dryer itself is has rubber feet making it very sturdy on the ground. I have not had it fall over even when stretching out the hose. The only downsides are that it is very loud, which is to be expected of a dryer this strong, but If your dog is like mine and hates the sound of the dryer you might have to cover their ears. I put cotton balls in my dogs ears which helps. The other downside is the power cord is rather short. Not a big deal though, I just use mine with an extension cord. Overall good purchase and much more affordable than the other dryers out there! One additional note when I first used mine it made a awful high pitched noise and I thought it was broken, but they go over this in the instructions and it’s common. They just tell you to run it for a bit with the heat on and that gets rid of it.

Works great at getting hair without having to brush over and over. Was shocked at how much hair it blew out. It will also come in handy blow drying after bathing them. The different settings of are flow are nice because a couple of our dogs were unsure so having a lower setting helped them. The high setting blew the under coat hair out of our German shepherd’s better than all the brushing we could do! This is going to be a time saver for sure!
