I've read many accounts of how wonderful this machine is. I'm wondering if it would make life easier to dry a vehicle 45' long and 13' tall. I tried an electric leaf blower once, which wasn't worth the trouble. Is the Master Blaster more powerful?

 

You gonna need a bigger blower!

Your going to need one of these:

 

Yes, I think I received my answer. Fortunately, I don't have a brake dust problem on this one. :-)

 

I'm still thinking about buying one, but my impression is that it is more powerful than a leaf blower, and warms the air too.


Do you hand-wash that!?

 

Check the specs carefully. I seem to remember when I was looking at one in my Vette days that my garage outlets would not handle the load.

I did email them. While it says 20A, they said it would work on a 15A circuit as long as nothing else was on it. At least, that's my memory.

 

Yes, I both hand-wash and wax it, which is quite a workout. To avoid water spots, I have to wash and microfiber dry section-by-section, and I'm looking for a quicker way. The entire coach is automotive paint base and clear coat finished.

 

Most shop vacs either have an attached blower or allow you to change the hose to the "exhaust" part of the vacuum creating a strong blowing force. Then you can vacuum your car first and dry it afterwards with the same tool.

 

Yes, a 15a circuit will sometimes trip the breaker, but I have all 20a circuits in my coach barn, as well as 50a for the coach.

 

If I had to wash and wax that by hand... just pay someone else to do it. IMO.

 

All kidding aside, the Master Blaster will blow away a leaf blower or reversed shop vac. And aid quite a bit in drying the motor home. Since you keep it waxed the water would blow off easily.

 

Oh, I've done that too, but the cost of a quality hand wash and wax of that coach purchases 2 Master Blasters.

 

I have the master blaster, works great on a well wax/polished car. It would be quite a job on a motor home.

Buy an extra hose and a 20A extention cord

 

I have had one for 2 years and use it on all my cars. much more powerful than a leaf blower.

The key is the car needs to be well waxed/polished to bead water.

 

Thanks Zach, the coach gets waxed a minimum of twice a year, and it lives in a climate controlled barn when it's not on the road. Water definitely always beads on it.

 

Foosh,

If you're going to get one, get the new model that comes with a 30ft hose. You would drive yourself crazy with the old 10ft hose trying to do the top of that thing.

 

Nati,

I became interested in this again because I saw your post where there was a new model w/ the 30 ft. hose. I found what you ordered on Amazon. Thanks!

 

So, the Master Blaster was delivered yesterday, and I decided to try it out on my Jeep today. It's OK, but I wasn't exactly blown away by it, pun intended.

It wasn't a time-saver for me. I think I'm quicker with my stacks of microfiber towels, and I'm not phobic about touching my car to dry it. In fact, I needed to go over the vehicle w/ detailer anyway after using the blower because I couldn't dry it quickly enough to avoid waterspots.

I'll use it, but I wouldn't buy it again.

 

I've yet to use mine. Will report back when I do. My car is ceramic coated w/ CQuartz Finest which will probably make the blower better at its job.
