MetroVac Air Force Blaster Sidekick small vehicle or motorcycle air dryer Metro Vacuum Made in USA

This machine can defiantly dry off an entire car. I dried off my front porch with it! Don't point it at your face. It blows over small children.j/k This thing really blows! I like the rubber tip they give with it so it won't scratch or dent your car. Worth every penny! I swear, a towel will never touch my car again!

Didn't expect much from such a small blower but this thing puts out a surprising amount of air. Originally purchased with the intent of getting water out from the crevices of my car. Decided to dry the entire car (a small SUV) and it actually does a decent job. The sidekick will not dry the car completely but does about 85-90% of the job. I would say it's similar to the blowers in an automated car wash. Before having the sidekick, I would use a large micro fiber drying tower and would have to wring the towel dry about 5-6 times before the car was dry. With the sidekick, I just have to go over the car lightly with the micro fiber towel and it is barely damp when I'm done. While the sidekick does not save a ton of time, it does make the drying process much less labor-intensive and reduces the amount of physical contact necessary to dry the car. Also found that it works well to blow out my PC of dust bunnies.

This is my second Metro Vacuum Blaster Sidekick. My last one lasted 12 years. Only reason it died was it developed a short in the pigtail cord, but that was my fault from doing a loop in the connection between the unit's cord and my extension cord for all those years. I don't do that anymore (old construction site habit). I used the old one on three vehicles literally at least once a week, or sometimes even more. The new unit is just as powerful, if not more powerful than the old one. It really hasn't changed much, which is a good thing. When the old one conked out, I found out how much I depend on the Blaster. It's amazing how much water you can get blown out of all the crevices and crannies on my cars and truck. It's perfect for drying tires and rims before applying wheel products or tire dressing. I'm thrilled Metro Vacuum is still making these units. Just buy it, you won't be disappointed.

I do instrument repair and this has been one of the best purchases I've made for my shop in years. I have no doubt this would work very well on my motorcycle too. Solid construction....abundant power and not terribly hard on the ears. Two different attachments great for funneling different streams of air. Easiest 5 stars I've given. You won't be disappointed!

I took delivery of the box inside a plastic bag. You can see the punctured box that was inside the bag. Better yet, the nozzle shows signs of previous use. Having said that, the blower seems to work.

I honestly did not expect this handheld blower could have that much power, but I was quickly proven wrong. I purchased this to mainly blow out the residual water from the fine crevices of my car and motorcycle. The days of drying your car only to find water drainage spots all over are long gone.Can this blower dry a full car - yes its possible, although it would take a couple passes and you're better off just using a really good microfiber or waffle weave towel.What is this blower GREAT at? Getting the water out of the hard to reach areas such as your mirrors, windows, engine bay, wheels, etc. I dried my 20" wheels without ever having to touch them which was great!I believe this purchase may have been the best purchase I've made in 2020. It saves me so much time, and I dont have to see the ugly water drainage spots left after admiring a clean car. Do yourself a favor and spend the hundred to save yourself time! Side note: make sure you wear ear buds or some sort of ear protection - it does get really loud

I bought mine years ago for drying the cracks and crevices of my motorcycle after washing it. Little did I know I would use it for so much more. I use this thing all the time. Blowing things off (containers, vehicles, sidewalks), cleaning things out (shoes, clothing, filters, tools), and more. Anytime I think "Man, a hard stream of jet powered air would be great to clean this off" BAM, there it is. I even buy this as a housewarming gift for friends. This thing is amazing.

Prior to purchasing I was using my ego blower to dry my car. Though the ego worked well, it was loud and bulky.The blaster is small but it packs a tremendous amount of performance. It drys just as well and it’s easier to handle, quieter than the ego, and one major bonus, the cone/tapered attachment is soft rubber. So if you bump it against your car, it won’t scratch it.
