I could see where the BF unit could be very ergonomic and easy to use, even compared to a leaf blower, but the price is ridiculous. Highway robbery.

Agreed. I use DI water and the big Master Blaster and still use a towel to dry the car(with a drying aid). Even with forced air, there is no way to *completely* dry the car, unless you want to sit there for an hour and blow out all the cracks and crevices without any drips.

I use the McKees Turbo and I really like the product. The extended hose can be cumbersome but it is a powerful machine that removes MOST of the water. It is especially handy when drying tires, wheels and lugs. However I still have to finish with a drying towel and a drying aid. The dryer does not completely eliminate water from the entire surface of the vehicle. There are always traces of water and small water spots left behind.

They both have a 6 foot hose according to the product descriptions. They look identical other than the extra attachment for the blackfire one.

Then they aren't bothering to use it first or read all the online comments (others have complained about the hose length). Too bad, a missed opportunity besides putting a new logo on it.

Or even corded. Even us mobile guys have power. We use that big WORX. Makes quick work of trim and wheels.

Re: VIP Special
Hmm, just ordered and then read this thread. Hopefully I like it. I had a leaf blower but never dried with it. The motor died in 2 years due to using it as a leaf vac.
