Flying Pig High Velocity Dog Pet Grooming Dryer w/Heater (Model: Flying One, Green)

The media could not be loaded. I researched dog dryers for a long time. I pulled the trigger on this Flying Pig due to the glowing reviews. There are cheaper dryers out there, but I wanted a more quality unit with a trusted company.We have two Siberian Huskies. The male has a very thick double coat and our female not quite as thick. It used to take us about an hour with a household hair dryer to dry our male. This machine cut that time in half!We used take the male in for grooming, but his attitude has gotten him barred from coming back. Hence, the reason for buying this dryer.I did have the same issues as others when I first used it with the collar clamp not quite wanting to hold, but it's been fine since. Just make sure it's clamped properly. You could put a piece of electrical tape on it if you have issues.I did call customer service after the first use as the dryer just wasn't getting as hot as I thought it should. Customer service was great and offered an exchange right away, however, I told them I'd conduct more testing with the unit.My Thermapen was only reading about 115-120°F at the hose end, where our home hair dryer was more like 150-165°F. Customer service advised the unit is rated for 80-160°F, but not at the end of the long hose. A lot of heat is lost. Regardless, the unit still gets warm enough to dry a large dog.Noise wise, on high, it is fairly loud, but not too bad. It doesn't bother our male Husky at all, but then again he doesn't even move for the vacuum. Our female is sketchy of loud noise, but tolerates the dryer as it's not as loud as our vacuum cleaner. The hose is so long that just being a few feet from the unit cuts down on the noise.Overall, I'm very happy and impressed with the quality of the dryer and Flying Pig's customer service. I highly recommend!

I have had this dryer for at least 7yrs. It has been great! It did finally poop out on me, but I will be buying another one. I didn't have any problems with it! After 7yrs of a lot of use, I think it's worth it!

This really is the best thing ever. I thought the uproot was good, but it's really not that great for drying. I still love it for being able to suck up the hair while bruising. THIS DRYER THOUGH, this is the real deal. I did a Doberman, who struggled because he's never felt that before, in a few minutes. My long haired gsd, she took about 10 to 15 minutes to be fully died. It even blew out her coat too. I think when it gets closer to spring I will take her outside and use it to blow out her coat. I am so surprised. I really thought it was too good to be true, that it wouldn't be that powerful. But it really is powerful and it has two heat settings. However be careful. It's so powerful on high that if you let go of the house, it will whip around like a fireman's house on full blast lol.

Much less noisy than Shernbao (Super Cyclone) SHD-2600P ($186) at equivalent quality build. That made it the clear winner for me. Also bought at the same time the Dopict 5 HP / 3800 W ($90), good option if on smaller budget and don't mind plastic body and smaller hose diameter.

Dries nice fast

Used one time so far, I blew out my two labs, I have so much hair in the house. Hope this helps.

Very pleased. Much quieter than my old Metro. Powerful and love the heat options. Just wish there was a cage attachment. Groomer of over 35 years.

I needed something that would help blow out the thick undercoat of our Australian Shepherd, and also help with getting him dry after bath time. I had this little dryer in my wish list hoping my husband would just buy it for me, it is a bit pricey and I wasn't sure I really needed it. Well after the last grooming session (comb, comb, brush, brush, comb, comb, and repeat), I bought it.When I received my dryer the first thing I noticed was how small the dryer was, it is very compact and easy to maneuver, which is wonderful if you are going to spend an hour or so grooming your dog. I plugged it in and turned it on low to see how it worked,... if you do this in the living room you will quickly see how many dust bunnies have escaped your last session with the vacuum cleaner. At the highest setting dust, knickknacks (oops), and the Valentine's Day cards that were still sitting on the bookshelf went flying across the room. Wow this little dryer is powerful!! One of the cats refused to come out from under the bed for a few hours after seeing the tornado in the living room!The dryer has a very strong plastic odor which I am hoping dissipates soon. There are two filters, one already installed in the back of the dryer, and one extra. The hose seems to be very well made connecting easily to the dryer and to the attachments with "C" clips. The 'C' clips are plastic, and you have to mess with them each time you connect and disconnect the hoses and attachments. To me they feel like they could break easily if you're not careful, so I will look into picking up a few spares to keep with the extra filter in case they are needed.There is a nice handle on top and the dryer rests on four very stable legs. My dryer arrived with a tiny little scratch in the paint next to the flying pig sticker. I wish I never saw it because it's like an eye magnet now, I see it every time I look at the side of the dryer. My husband offered to scratch the other side for me so I wouldn't notice this scratch anymore,...no. :/The controls are placed at the end of the dryer and are very easy to use. Make sure everything is off and on low, then turn the dryer on. You can slowly increase the speed of the dryer by turning the little knob. If you want heat there is a toggle switch for low, high, and off. High heat feels very warm, almost hot, so you really need to monitor the air flow while using so you don't injure your dog.This dryer works great for drying and fluffing our dog after a bath. It really does cut down on the time spent drying and makes grooming so much easier. Before I bought this dryer, while I was still researching which one I wanted, I watched quite a few YouTube videos on how to use a HV dryer to blow out the undercoats of dogs with double coats. On some of the videos you could really see the fur fly! This little dryer does just that, I was able to remove all the dead hair that was caught up in our dogs coat. I really wish I had discovered one of these dryers years ago when we had a Chow/Akita mix dog! The cord is nice and long so I can use this in the backyard after bathing the dog. Very happy with this HV dryer!4/11/18 - Our Australian shepherd is no longer with us but we still use this dryer on our two great danes. They have short hair but do still shed quite a bit. After baths we use a towel for around the face and ears then the dryer takes care of the rest. We are able to wash and dry two great danes in under an hour!This dryer removes dead loose hairs from their coats leaving them clean and shiny. We've owned this dryer for a little over two years and it has not failed us yet!! Wonderful little dryer that I would replace in a heartbeat if it ever died in us!
