Flying Pig High Velocity Dog Pet Grooming Dryer w/Heater (Model: Flying One, Purple)

Edit 3/6/21: I reached out to the customer service department for flying pig and spoke to them about my dryer overheating and shutting off. They sent me a brand new unit at no charge and I spent the last few weeks putting this new dryer through the ringer. I certainly made it a point to use it at least 9-10 times to see if the problem I had with my previous unit would continue and I’m happy to say I had zero problems! The air output is great and the heat vs no heat functions have been wonderful in the cooler temps. The dryer works as it should and I am happy to reassess and re-review this at the 5 stars it deserves. I’m unsure if there was just a problem with my old unit or what but I’m super happy with both my working product and the flying pig company overall. They truly stand by their product and absolutely want to see their customers happy. I am glad I reached out and I definitely plan on being a continued customer. Special shout out to Andrew who went out of his way to make sure I got the help I needed. I truly appreciate everything! *************************************** Initially I was really impressed with the flying pig dryer. The speed and ability to dry my Australian Shepherd was phenomenal. Unfortunately after about 4 months of using this (20-30 minutes at a time every other week - so essentially 9 uses or about 4.5 hours) the unit overheats and continually trips my surge protector. Both the hose and body become unbearably hot prior to shutting off. I’ve cleaned and changed the filter but the problem still persists. As a result I’m disappointed in this item considering all the good I had previously heard and now I’m out a dryer and have to purchase a new one. I would not recommend this item for purchase.

TRULY THE BEST DOG DRYER EVER! I HAVE HAD MINE SEVERAL YEARS AND IT STILL WORKS LIKE NEW...AND I USE IT ALMOST WEEKLY WITH MY DOGS. I HAVE A BERNESE MT DOG, A LANDSEER NEWFOUNDLAND, AND TIBETAN TERRIERS SO THICK HAIR IS A BIG DEAL FOR US! I DECIDED AS I RETIRED THAT I WOULD DO MY OWN GROOMING LOL AND MY PREVIOUS GROOMER RECOMMENDED THIS DRYER. WOW THIS DRYER IS TRULY A WIN! THE PRICE IS MORE THAN WORTH IT! IT HAS A HIGH OR LOW INTENSITY, WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT WHEN U HAVE NEW PUPPIES AND WANT THEM TO GET USED TO IT AS WELL AS COOLING OR WARM AIR, WHICH AGAIN MATTERS BECAUSE HAIRY PUPS LIKE MINE IN THE SUMMER DO NOT EVER LIKE WARM AIR BLOWING ON THEM. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS DRYER, NO COMPLAINTS AT ALL.

It work just as well as a professional groomer tool. It’s not real noisy, lightweight and has a no heat option which is great for my hairy Shepard. It shakes out his undercoat without brushing and drys his off very well. It has heat regulation options in case heat is not needed. This was a lifesaver. Bathing a large hairy dog with anxiety issues is no small task and this saves me time and energy and it’s over quickly. I recommend this to anyone in need of assistance in getting their pet groomed efficiently and want to do it themselves.

This dryer works great! Very powerful. And it’s not very loud for my dogs. They were not scared of it at all. I didn’t even have it on the highest setting to dry them. It does a great job! I’m so happy with this dryer! The heat setting is perfect!

I needed something that would help blow out the thick undercoat of our Australian Shepherd, and also help with getting him dry after bath time. I had this little dryer in my wish list hoping my husband would just buy it for me, it is a bit pricey and I wasn't sure I really needed it. Well after the last grooming session (comb, comb, brush, brush, comb, comb, and repeat), I bought it. When I received my dryer the first thing I noticed was how small the dryer was, it is very compact and easy to maneuver, which is wonderful if you are going to spend an hour or so grooming your dog. I plugged it in and turned it on low to see how it worked,... if you do this in the living room you will quickly see how many dust bunnies have escaped your last session with the vacuum cleaner. At the highest setting dust, knickknacks (oops), and the Valentine's Day cards that were still sitting on the bookshelf went flying across the room. Wow this little dryer is powerful!! One of the cats refused to come out from under the bed for a few hours after seeing the tornado in the living room! The dryer has a very strong plastic odor which I am hoping dissipates soon. There are two filters, one already installed in the back of the dryer, and one extra. The hose seems to be very well made connecting easily to the dryer and to the attachments with "C" clips. The 'C' clips are plastic, and you have to mess with them each time you connect and disconnect the hoses and attachments. To me they feel like they could break easily if you're not careful, so I will look into picking up a few spares to keep with the extra filter in case they are needed. There is a nice handle on top and the dryer rests on four very stable legs. My dryer arrived with a tiny little scratch in the paint next to the flying pig sticker. I wish I never saw it because it's like an eye magnet now, I see it every time I look at the side of the dryer. My husband offered to scratch the other side for me so I wouldn't notice this scratch anymore,...no. :/ The controls are placed at the end of the dryer and are very easy to use. Make sure everything is off and on low, then turn the dryer on. You can slowly increase the speed of the dryer by turning the little knob. If you want heat there is a toggle switch for low, high, and off. High heat feels very warm, almost hot, so you really need to monitor the air flow while using so you don't injure your dog. This dryer works great for drying and fluffing our dog after a bath. It really does cut down on the time spent drying and makes grooming so much easier. Before I bought this dryer, while I was still researching which one I wanted, I watched quite a few YouTube videos on how to use a HV dryer to blow out the undercoats of dogs with double coats. On some of the videos you could really see the fur fly! This little dryer does just that, I was able to remove all the dead hair that was caught up in our dogs coat. I really wish I had discovered one of these dryers years ago when we had a Chow/Akita mix dog! The cord is nice and long so I can use this in the backyard after bathing the dog. Very happy with this HV dryer! 4/11/18 - Our Australian shepherd is no longer with us but we still use this dryer on our two great danes. They have short hair but do still shed quite a bit. After baths we use a towel for around the face and ears then the dryer takes care of the rest. We are able to wash and dry two great danes in under an hour! This dryer removes dead loose hairs from their coats leaving them clean and shiny. We've owned this dryer for a little over two years and it has not failed us yet!! Wonderful little dryer that I would replace in a heartbeat if it ever died in us!

It’s bulky but not bad. Pricy but worth it imo. It dries my pup well & I only use the lowest blow setting & the number 2 on the heat but the hose gets pretty hot & heats up my hand. That’s the only thing I don’t like about it.

Easy to use and does the job perfectly.

I ordered this dryer after noting that the groomer for my three Portuguese Water Dogs uses one after bathing them. My dogs are mostly white, which means they need to be rinsed off after being outside after a rainstorm or even after running through the garden on a sunny day. Their fur takes forever to dry naturally, so when I noticed that Flying Pig dryers were available on Amazon at an affordable price, I decided to buy one. Straight away, I noticed how, even after rinsing our dogs until there is no visible dirt and during them with towels, the water and dirt that I must have missed whilst rinsing them, came flying off their fur when I used the dryer. Its power is truly amazing. It is very heavy, but this isn’t a factor because there is no need to lift the dryer whilst using it. The long hose and long cord enables one to point the drying nozzle right at your dog whilst leaving the unit on the floor. The dryer only has minimum heat -which I am assuming is due to what most dogs can tolerate. The blast power is what dries the fur. If you have more than one dog or even just one dog that requires constant rinsing/bathing, I think that this dryer is essential. It has saved my dogs from getting fungus from damp coats and my house from dirt flung on the floor and walls from the dogs shaking after I have spent considerable time towel-drying them. Definitely money well-spent. One downer, which has nothing to do with this particular dryer, as virtually all of them are loud, my dogs hate the noise, although they are starting to get used to it.
