Powr-flite 1/2 HP Dryer deal.....any good?

[JoeClean]

Several times a year I get a salecard from Powr-flite with new customer specials.

They have a 1/2 hp dryer that is $139 each (limit 2)

Anyone buy these? Are you happy with them?
Do they get you on shippping?

Whats the buzz.

.

Yep, bought two of them some years ago .
I "think" they were $99 at that time .
Same deal, mailer for first time only custys.
I had to call and twist their arm cause I had bought from them once previously .
they gave me the sale price

they're well worth the price and we've used them quite a bit
Jump on 'em


I don't recall what the shipping cost was, but it was "normal" for the size and wt of them .
$40 bukz for the pair, I'm thinking???..And thats from out west to Ohio
i figure it may be more now cause gas was "normal" price back when i bought mine.
But again, no "hidden" charges and no "gouging" on the shipping

a damn good value for the average brokedick that uses them for speed drying carpets and occasional small water damage dry downs.
That's how we use 'em.

had to remind me they used to be $99. Us brokedicks hate to see price increases.
Anyone buy cleaning detergent lately? PCX, slurry, they all went up.

they're still a good buy at a buck-forty, Joe
Ours have been abused and knocked around pretty good ..and still work great
as good or better than any of the $200-$250 class airmovers I've had

Our experience was the opposite. We bought a pallet load and quickly realized they were too fragile to handle the normal bumps of on-location transport and use. Our repair guy was fixing scraping squirrel cages constantly. We finally relagated them to in=plant use and bought more Dri-Eaz for on-location use. When one of the Powr-Flites caught fire at night and burned a hole in our dry room floor we quit using them unattended. Now if one gets out of alignment we toss it. Definitely a case of getting what you pay for.
