africandreams Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 My dryer died tonight ....so I will need to replace it ASAP !! What dryer brands are good/ can people recommend. Any to steer clear of? I would like to test the dryers, but being in WA I think I am limited, so am relying on 'word of mouth'! I have Bernese Mountain dogs. Any help/advice greatly appreciated!!

Clyde Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 A force dryer? You can't get better than Oldfields IMO, especially for a Bernese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowanbree Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I have had a liberty which I didn't like, too slow and have used a ezycoat force dryer for years and been quite happy with it but last year I replaced it with a Pupkus and was quite impressed. Not only was it quite cheap but it was heated/non heated and 2 speed. Not quite the force of an ezycoat but the heat made up for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espinay2 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) I have a had a single motor ezycoat for years with the Pyrs and love it. Also love the prompt and helpful service they provide for parts etc, being an Aussie made product (had to replace a hose connector about a year ago - only thing I have had to do in about 10 years). They are a SA company, so relatively convenient for you in WA: http://www.ezycoat.com.au/ (there in a distributor over your way in Canningvale??) If I were upgrading, I would buy their double motor model - not because the single motor doesn't do the job, but because more power is always better :D Though I note the single motor models now being sold are more powerful than the one I have too.

SparkyTansy Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 have an Oldfield for the OES and it's fantastic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 The Pupkus you can try in the in the dog shop but buy cheaper east . For the price it is a great dryer & i have used one for the last 2 years on a number of occasions east to dry up to 16 long coats for shows ,easy to hold the hose as it isn't a thick one We have the oldfield cylinder dryer & they are great as well but the hose is alot thicker & depending on your hand size can be awkward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Lolapalooza* Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Double K are great as are old fields (Double K can be picked up cheaper from USA on ebay but make sure they have the 240 V not 110v for USA) I have 2 and they have way more grunt than the ezycoat thats what I had when I started.

ellz Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Can highly recommend the Pupkus dryers. I have just purchased a Force 2 + stand. Not quite as much "grunt" as say a Liberty Ultraforce (barrel) but honestly this isn't necessary in many breeds and if you have a breed that needs specialised straightening or "fluffing" for trimming or whatever then a slightly lower powered pedestal dryer is probably more suitable for you anyway. I like that it is powerful but I can adjust the heat (and airflow from high to low), is ultra maneouverable and doesn't lose stability if I have it very tall to suit my Terrier table. It has proven to be excellent for my Lowchen. Also good is that I can use it as a barrel dryer without the stand but fitting to the stand is as easy as using a few screws which even me at my non-mechanical best can manage! The thing I like the MOST however, is the price. I purchased mine direct from Pupkus and got the dryer and stand plus a small grooming arm for less than the dryer alone from other retailers and with half the fuss. Ordered it on the Monday and it was here on the Thursday and I'm in an out of city area in Tasmania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_angel__ Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 +1 on pupkus force 2 dryer。 I was going to buy the double K stand dryer，then my american cocker puppy's breeder recommended the pupkus.After some google, I found that pupukus is a chinese brand. So I ordered one from a chinese website, plus a groomer's 3rd arm for the dryer hose and a grooming arm for the grooming table. Total cost is AU$105 including shipping, amazing price.The only down side is it tooks 35 days to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkey Trip Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Thanks for asking this question, had never heard of a Pupkus dryer but it sounds interesting & quite compact for traveling - love Clipperworld but notice this brand is not listed on their website, any suggestions as to where would be the best place to acquire one from? Hope you don't mind me asking within your topic africandreams.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 The canine dog shop (WA) sells them otherwise you can just buy direct http://pupkus.com.au/index.php/products/dryers.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jr_inoz Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I got this from ebay and it is good. Does the job well (double coated breed here too). I like that it has a heat option and also a variable speed function. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2800W-Dog-Pet-cat-Groomming-Blaster-hair-Dryer-Heater-/290496298758?pt=AU_Pet_Supplies&hash=item43a2edbf06 mine's been going strong for 3 years now.
