McKee's 37 Turbo Car Dryer - Anyone Using This Blower, If So Do You Like It??? Looking For Suggestions

the sidekick has no where near the output of volume of air to dry a whole car like the turbo dryer and would take too long. it's more suited to get into cracks, crevices, etc,..

I'd Love to see a side by side comparison between the 2. It sounds like you've got both.. You outta film a vid for us to see how they really stack up to each other.

I've never seen a vid of the McKee's blower in action. Could you film a demo of the 2 for us to see?
 
i have a sidekick in which i hardly ever use and also had the master blaster which i sold (don't really miss it). i also own the dp/mckee turbo dryer (along with a leaf blower, and other dryers) which works well. too many people expect too much out of a blower/dryer to get every little water droplet and for the most part if you have a good coat of wax/sealant/coating then most all the water will fly off pretty easy. i always follow up with a microfiber towel and qd/spray wax after to get any remaining droplets and light water spots...

This is a perfect illustration of the results I get. If what you see here matches your expectations, buy it.

Metro blaster will do the job.I personally don't like straps hanging over my shoulder.Better tools that ease fatigue on your body is the goal if your a full timer.partime get whatever one you want.
 
Where can I get parts for this? I have the DP blower and the hose attachment (piece on the hose that attaches hose to blower) has failed. I do not want to shell out more money for a new one when I just need a part. Thanks.
 
it looks like the new version isn't that much difference other than the color (orange) and the locking port (comes with a strap now) on the blower itself which wasn't a problem with anyone that i know of but more the other end where the nozzle connects on...

Mine blows off from the blower not the nozzle, so the lock is an improvement...
 
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the older version $149.99? If so, it's a $30 increase on the new version at $179.99 (not taking into account the temporary introductory offer of $159.99). Seems kinda steep for the improvements, no?

Not worth it. - hardly used it, less than 20 times, and it burned up... plus unless you firmly push the hose in, it blows off, which I guess they fixed it with the new one, so it was a problem. No shoulder strap either, which, again, the new one has. So, I have to pay $180+ for another one to try it?

I’m trying a big boi next.
 
still have and use (DP) mine and it works like it's suppose too...
 
I bought one two years ago and I still use it. It still works very well but it does have some issues. The hose and the cord can be cumbersome, and not matter how much you concentrate the air in one area, you still have to complete the drying process with a towel.
 
I bought the DP one and Nick gifted me the Mckee’s version. Both are identical other than a few minor changes.

They get the job done. As mentioned a towel is still needed to mop up the little droplets that remain.

I also agree the cord is a bit cumbersome.
 
I have the BF dryer which is essentially the same. It's not bad, but I typically still dry with a towel and use it to only get in the tough spots. This is mostly because I usually like adding a drying aid towel drying is required for this (didn't think of that when I purchased the dryer).
 
I have had mine for awhile also and it does help with getting out the water out around door jams, wheels, windows and mirrors. Cord can be a pain but I use the hose slid that you put at bottom of tires to make it easier to use so hoses and so cord doesn`t get jammed.

Water that is left gets wiped off with my Beadmaker application.
