Sapphire is the ONLY tool as far as I'm concerned. I bought the
Hydramaster Dri tool couple years ago and it was OK. BUT, it takes too long to remove all the screws and clean the lint out after each job. It begins to leak and can't be remedied. Also, after a period of time, the seam in the middle of the tool begins to catch and snag some fabrics. BIG PROBLEM!!!!! I sold it for $200 and bought a
Sapphire and don't have to worry about lint/hair collecting in the chamber. It doen't have a seam to snag fabrics and it is veryyyyyyyyyyyy smooth to operate and dries great. Yes, it does have a trigger but it also has a lock to keep the water flow continuous if you choose. No, I am not a big
Sapphire fan but this product is a "10".
