As a professional groomer, I really wanted to love this dryer. It appears to be well-built and has a strong stand design, but it falls short in two important areas. The air does not get hot enough to efficiently dry dogs, especially thicker-coated breeds, and the nozzle does not rotate. A rotating tip would make it much easier to direct airflow underneath the dog instead of only from above. If those two features were improved, this would be an excellent dryer. For now, it’s a decent dryer, but not quite what I expected for the price.
