Need recommendation for leaf blower for drying car

I have been using the Toro model shown in the above post with the link to Amazon.
Should have gotten it a week ago before Amazon started charging state sales tax.

If you do get a leaf blower just make sure that you use it ONLY for blowing off your cars and not for lawn work. And keep it wrapped up in a trash bag when you are not using it. You don't even want to allow dust to get into the airstream.

If the paint is well taken care of and protected, "drying the car with water" will remove 90% of it from the bodywork.

The mirrors, crevices, etc. are tougher cookies (:bat:): but I suppose a Sidekick will be enough for these areas.

Use a top-notch microfiber towel for the rest: the potential for marring is quite low.

Having said this: I REALLY WANT A MASTERBLASTER! :dblthumb2:
 
I tried the Consumer Reports recommended HomeLite leaf blower (#5 on their list) for about 15 minutes before the leaf blower died and smoked. Later tried my Echo gas blower, which worked okay. Now saving up for one of the Metro Master Blasters.
 
I have the Toro or actually a second Toro. The first one died (nice electrical burnt smell) after 10 hrs or so of use. Luckily, it was within the warranty. My Toro string died as well after a few hrs use. I took it apart and noticed it was a not very robust design using plastic gears to drive the head..got a Stihl.
 
I use a Toro 51609 leaf blower and it works A1. As Bobby said Metro Blaster is the KING
in drying products but IMHO it's too expensive for a hobbyist.
 
Anyone have any experience with the Jetspeed blower that Chemical Guys sells?
