Xpower B-4 3 HP 2-In-1 Pet Dryer+Vacuum

Wasn't sure it would be strong enough to blow out my huskies fur, but purchased with fingers crossed. It works very well! Fur everywhere. Hooking up the vacuum was a little confusing (and getting it back together), but the vacuum is good, though meant for small jobs only (not much storage space). It's not really quiet, but the sound doesn't bother my huskies. For the price, this blower exceeded my expectations.

A lot quieter than my old dryer. The actual dryer running is very quiet, it's the air force that is loud, but that's a good thing because it means it works really well. I have not tried the vacuum part yet but I will update my review later.

The XPOWER B-4 worked really well on my long-haired, double-coated dog. Its noise level was well-tolerated, too. However, I didn't realize that the B-4 version takes a bit to warm up, because it doesn't have a heating element. Instead, it uses its motor's heat to warm the air coming out of the hose. That takes about 10 minutes. In retrospect, I would've gotten the version with the heating element. It costs a little more to get that feature, but I think it's worth it in the long run.

Pleased to receive sooner than expected. Excited to try it, was not disappointed. I was very happy with its results. Fantastic product ! Quiet and powerful. This product is 2-in 1 force dryer and a Vacuum!!! Plus it can be mounted on Stand Mount! WOW !! Portability easy !!! Being a dog groomer over 20 years, I have not seen this product matched by any other company .Bravo XPower !!!

I've been using this HV dryer on 2 standard-sized Labradoodles every 3 to 4 weeks for the past 2 years and the machine is still running strong. The air does warm up after about 10-20 minutes of use, not from any heater but from the air running over the motor while traveling through the machine. I love the relatively quiet operation, variable speed dial and durability of this unit. I also purchased the wall mount to get the machine off the floor, which is a big plus. If I had it over to do, I'd get their 4 HP variable-speed dryer, because with drying 2 dogs, faster is always better. I took one star off my rating only because the owner's manual does not explain how the hose attaches to both the motor housing or the plastic piece that accepts the attachments. I originally thought there was a malfunction with the hose when the hose unexpectedly (and always during a groom) popped off the unit and later when the hose attachment piece popped off repeatedly. Both problems were remedied once I knew how they attached. XPower's customer service is GREAT! UPDATE: Its now the end of 2019 and my X-Power B-4 is STILL going strong after continually grooming my 2 standard-size Labradoodles every 4-6 weeks. Still loving it!
