I've got one of these and it will never blow as hard as a £400 Showtime one but it's pretty good

Would that dry one 500kg heifer after shampooing and what powers it - is it electric?

My Galloway heifers are triple coat (the ones not lactating) and I can dry one of 400kg in about half an hour. The black and white belted isn't too bad and you canb see the "thin" long ended attachment almost chiselling the water off. The White Galloways look a drab yellowy white until they are really dry but you get there in the end

Sounds just the dab. Does it run off mains electric?

It does. I can't recall who put me on to this but a fellow TFFer in Wales showing I seem to remember. The one thing be careful with is they don't step on the blower pipe
Thanks I'm gona buy one of them now. The mains electric cable does actually come with it? Nowhere on the ad do I see it mentioned at all.

Caveat. I bought one on eBay but when I pulled it up in my eBay history it now shows one with a pink body. So I didn't have the rip taken, I found another one on eBay

Best check but mine did
