Detailing air blower

[OEM3]

Go the big boi mini+ blower on monday. It works very well. It is fairly quiet and blows out warm air. I got the extended hose that has enough hose to go around to the entire car (VW Atlas as well). I will probably mount it on the wall in my garage for storage and wrap the hose around the unit itself so that its not laying around. I am happy with the purchase it might still be on sale on Esoteric's website

Oh nice, didn't realize that it blows heated air.

The product specs for airflow says:
Airflow: CFM/FPM 29,600 ft/min

I'm not sure what that means because I'm used to seeing airflow in plain cubic feet per minute. I guess what I'm trying to understand is whether it moves more air volume than an EGO 765 CFM blower.

I have an EGO 765 and the stubby, and while it moves plenty of air and dries the car nicely, it is so goddamn loud that I’ve gone back to towel drying

Something wall mounted and far away with a long hose would be nice. Should’ve gotten that metro darnit

Whuddar those!?!?!? You know what happens when you wear those, too long, right?

I ended up just grabbing a pair of ear muffs to put on while using the Ego blower on the car. It might look stupid but it works and I won’t be deaf….I mean my hearing is already terrible from all the concerts I’ve been to over the years and never wore hearing protection so I figured I might as well try and save what little I’ve got left.

Oh man, I do a fair bit of target shooting so I’m spoiled for choice with muffs (giggity) but it’s loud enough to make me feel for the neighbors. I should probably just get over it since we all do landscaping and shit anyway, but I dunno. Part of me can’t help but feel like a tool out there in my driveway. Personal problems

Haha, I couldn’t care less what the neighbors think. I’m sure they’ve all had a good laugh already with my antics with photos/videos of my car or when I detail it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

If I hadn't already had a cordless electric leaf blower, I'd have gone with Ego with stubby. Instead, I bought a second 80V battery for the Cobalt blower I had, plus a rubber donut to go over the end. I can dry off both vehicles, then blow attach the extension and blow out the 3-car garage floor (if I clean it too) without running out of juice.

Another vote for the Ego and ear muffs. Electronic shooting muffs, in my case, and they work amazingly well.

Which Ego stubby nozzle do people have?

Lol...I hate these things and one day I tried on someone else's and they were so comfortable. I do have the Oofos now that I'm rocking. Even better... 🤣🤣🤣

I got the Metro Vac Revolution with 30' hose over 3 years ago and it has been used almost every weekend since then. It is powerful.

Pros: 8.0 HP (two motors), CFM/FPM 58,500 ft./min./400 CFM, 12' cord and 30' hose.

Cons: Holy Hell is it loud. Think like jet engine loud. Ear Pro is a must.

I got the Blo for Xmas and used it for the first time yesterday in combination with the EGO Blower. Wow, what a combo! The Blo has some serious power and works really well for all the areas that the EGO is just a bit too big for.

Prior to the Blo I was using a combo of the EGO and my air compressor with one of those blower nozzles with a soft rubber tip. It worked well but the air compressor was almost a bit too pin point as a secondary option and would really take a lot of time.

Awesome, I love my blo air dryer too especially when I do a rinsleless wash in garage. It's great for drying wheels after washing or with rinsless wash.

Yes, worked really well on the wheels too!

How do you like it? I have Multiple Makita tools and batteries and was considering getting the 36v blower for drying the motorcycle and M3.

Gets the job done quick. You really have to hold onto the blower because it’s powerful.
