Sagittarian Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 About to buy a dryer that needs to manage all coat types and be quieter than our Liberty Ultraforce. Interested in hearing about other brands. Thanks! Sags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I have 3 driers 1 x Liberty & 2 x Simpson - Simpson definately better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9kutz Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 stand dryer? Simpson Supa Jet, there is not better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraNik Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I have a Double K Xstream... It's great but I don't know what the noise levels are in comparison to the Liberty. I use it on my keeshond and finnish lapphund. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowanbree Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I have a liberty stand dryer and hate it. Too noisy and takes too long to dry the dogs so I have now gone back to my old barell force dryer. Don't get quite the finish but does them in 1/2 the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagittarian Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Simpson Supa Jet is getting some reports! What are the noise levels like and what are the heat ranges? Thanks! Sags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I have my Liberty Ultraforce for blasting and my Beacon MkII for straightening and heat. This is my second Beacon. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andisa Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) I have the liberty ultra force - its good with big hairy dogs in warm weather -it's loud - waiting for it to warm up in winter was the reason I lashed out and got the CM2H from Melbourne Dog Center - I love it - not cheap but is fantastic. Has heat and dial to control how much force is used. Great on any breed and any coat type. http://www.melbournedogcentre.com.au/products.htm Edited October 20, 2009 by Andisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShesaLikeableBiBear Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Have had a Liberty and another imported from US, (can't remember the name!!) when I had a mobile dog grooming service, they were both effective but very very noisy. Now have an Oldfield Maxidry Master which am very happy with, it has heat control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodle3081 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 The Simpson dryer is a fluff type dryer and ideal for low velocity air drying and styling. Dryer such as the Double K, Oldfield and Melbourne Dog Centre dryers are the forced air type, these are generally noisier and are suited to blast drying and blowing out the undercoat. Unfortunately there is not an ideal dryer for all applications. The Melbourne Dog Centre dryers are grossly over priced both with the initial cost and also the servicing charges. The Double K twin motor dryer is the best value on the market for around $500-$600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss B Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I've got the Double K Airmax Xtream for my Jap Spitz and Sibes. It gets them dry in next to no time, and I'm pretty happy with it. Having said that - it doesn't give my Jap the 'fluffiness' that he gets when his groomer does him (she uses an Oldfield dryer, I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eridor Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I have the Razor heated barrel dryer from clipperworld. It is fairly quiet compared to some I have heard, it has variable speed and a heater. I use it on smooth collies and today used it on a samoyd, worked very well.
