Itty Bitty Blowers

Don't see many cleaners using Airpaths or full-sized snails much anymore. Mostly miniature snails. Why?

Fitment in vehicles.. Big and heavy.. Getting grandpa status.. Padding/VLM instead of HWE.. Need anymore reasons?

I have 6 air paths and use as necessary..

Dri-eaz and the industry started going back to space saving/ smaller blowers to fit more in the van and on jobs.. Nothing new on guys who try to cramp as much equipment in a WDR without popping breakers.. A few locals do it all the time..

How many Air Pods equal the performance of one Airpath? How many Omnis equal one Sierra?

 

[Nate The Great]

Different strokes for different folks.. I don't think I can answer that for you.. DriPods pull like 1.1 amps.. Airpaths pull 8 amps on high speed..

I do get some who b!tch about the noise, but they'll b!tch about damp carpet as well.. Go figure..

Dripods are a lot less noisy, but don't move the same amount of air.. I'd say at least 4 dripods to dry the same amount of space.. You can use dripods on upholstery..

Dripods more likely to get more actual use because of convenience, weight, daisy chain able..

Amazon got them for $100/pop.. I'd buy some, but I have an equipment buying problem..

Because we're getting old.

Because we're getting old.

Some of us faster than others.

DriPods for the win. I keep one in my garage so when this old coot mops my floors, I throw one of them on, Bam, dry. They’re handy
