AWESOME Professional Quality Dryer
I don’t often write reviews unless a product is either junk or it exceeds my expectations. My goal is to warn others of junk items or praise the product that stands well above others in quality & function.This dryer is AWESOME! I have 5 long hair doggies & got tired of drying them with the wife’s hair dryer so I bought this hoping for the best. I expected a so-so cheap blower with a hose, more like a regular hair dryer with a hose. Wow was I surprised.I knew I had a quality item just from the way it came packaged. Any company that puts that much effort and pride into packaging their product, has to have a quality product. VERY WELL DONE on the item’s packaging.I removed the dryer from the packaging and it was immediately evident this dryer was very well made and would be more than durable. It looks and feels like a heavy duty well made and long lasting dryer. All the components (hose & nozzles) are heavy duty plastic that will outlast me. The hose is very flexible and heavy duty enough that I don’t see it ever failing. The dryer unit itself is light weight but still heavy duty enough to survive abuse. The controls are simple, functional, water resistant and seem to be high quality.I had to test it out after my initial inspection. I could not believe how quiet the machine was, our vacuum cleaner makes more noise. I had it set on low speed and was blown away (no pun intended) by the force of the wind from the nozzle. I don’t think I will ever need to “crank up” the speed unless the dog is 3-4 feet away. Air temp is fairly warm without turning on the unit’s heater. I tried both the low heat and high heat, both were more than adequate. Great test run overall.Today did the doggie baths using this dryer. I am sold! 3 of the 5 doggies were fine with the dryer, the other 2 were a bit spooked but calmed down after a bit. Started out with low heat, low speed, held the nozzle close (3″) from dog. Air flow so great and concentrated it made a lot of noise as I moved it around. Backed the nozzle up to 12″ or more and got the same or better drying results without any noise. I am VERY impressed with this dryer. So much faster and a lot less work than a hand held dryer. This is a “keeper” in today’s throw away society.

Customer Service is incredible and they really stand by their product
Edit 3/6/21:I reached out to the customer service department for flying pig and spoke to them about my dryer overheating and shutting off. They sent me a brand new unit at no charge and I spent the last few weeks putting this new dryer through the ringer.I certainly made it a point to use it at least 9-10 times to see if the problem I had with my previous unit would continue and I’m happy to say I had zero problems! The air output is great and the heat vs no heat functions have been wonderful in the cooler temps. The dryer works as it should and I am happy to reassess and re-review this at the 5 stars it deserves.I’m unsure if there was just a problem with my old unit or what but I’m super happy with both my working product and the flying pig company overall. They truly stand by their product and absolutely want to see their customers happy. I am glad I reached out and I definitely plan on being a continued customer. Special shout out to Andrew who went out of his way to make sure I got the help I needed. I truly appreciate everything!***************************************Initially I was really impressed with the flying pig dryer. The speed and ability to dry my Australian Shepherd was phenomenal. Unfortunately after about 4 months of using this (20-30 minutes at a time every other week – so essentially 9 uses or about 4.5 hours) the unit overheats and continually trips my surge protector. Both the hose and body become unbearably hot prior to shutting off. I’ve cleaned and changed the filter but the problem still persists. As a result I’m disappointed in this item considering all the good I had previously heard and now I’m out a dryer and have to purchase a new one. I would not recommend this item for purchase.

Powerful little HV dryer!
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!

Used anxiety hoodie as she doesn’t like loud noises. Worked beautifully- could see water being blown off her. Came out dry and fluffy. Seems to be quieter than my own blow dryer.

Did my due diligence on choosing a dryer because of the investment price. This dryer was recommended by multiple dog groomers on youtube as an excellent choice for home use.I can attest to the excellent quality of unit, the hose is sturdy and pliable, and attachments are great. Noise level is in accordance with the power of dryer. I use the dryer in a medium sized bathroom, and when using the highest settings it can be loud, but not acceptable or unexpected.My two large poodles look awesome after using this dryer. Both dogs have been professionally groomed and are used to the process. Therefore they were okay with this dryer’s sound, heat, and high air flow.Purchased the pink version mid November 2023 and the price I paid was better than Black Friday deals. Bonus – it arrived earlier than expected. All around positive experience.Highly recommend – solid choice!! Stop procrastinating like I did – you and your dog(s) will benefit from having this dryer.

We were replacing an older metrovac that finally died. This one is easily as good, and a little less money. It does an amazing job even on our German shepherd. Is variable speed so can easily do small dogs too. Seems sturdy and good quality, so I expect no problems, but, time will tell.

Absolutely amazing dryer. If you have a full coated dog this is the dryer for you. I have 2 full coated Old English Sheepdogs and they love to swim this dryer is amazing. Works so well gets into their thick coats with ease.

I bought this grooming dryer about 5-6 months ago and waited to write a review based on my experience with it. I have a standard poodle and I do his grooming at home every 3 weeks. In order to achieve a professional grooming, his hair must be completely flat and full of volume: this can only be done with a powerful dryer. THIS IS THE ONE! Max air, max heat, and a super dry and ready-to-be-groomed poodle!Both nozzles have their specific function and I use it as recommended: the round one for the body and the flat one for head, ears, tail and bottom part of the paws. I also like that you can adjust the heat level as you need it.The dryer itself starts with a low noise level and becomes louder when you increase the air level. My poodle and I both wear ear plugs so we are comfortable for the whole drying session! The hose can also seem a bit short for some people. It expends up to 10 ft when you put the dryer on, meaning that the dryer has to be close to you so that you can easily reach every single spot. Personally, it is not a problem for me, but it is to be taken into consideration with regards to your grooming space.Finally, a major good point for this dryer: Flying Pig Grooming sells replacement parts! Overall, I am really impressed with this dryer and only wish I had bought it sooner!
