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

We are new parents to a standard poodle and quickly learned that a regular hair dryer wasn’t going to cut it. After researching, I felt The Flying Pig Flying One high velocity dryer would fit our needs and our budget. It has a heat on and off switch, so no multiple settings there, but the temperature while on is perfect. There is adjustment to the air velocity. It cut the drying time in half from the Dyson I was using. When the dryer arrived, one of the locking clips was stuck and wouldn’t budge. I ended up breaking it on either side trying to move it. I contacted Flying Pig’s customer service and they immediately sent me a new hose and some spare locking clips. After receiving them, we worked on trying to get the locking clip out of the first one. It took some force but we found it had been super glued in! it’s a piece that is supposed to move freely, so that was odd. But the company’s handling of making it right was impressive so I won’t deduct any stars. I would recommend this dryer. It seems to be very high quality and the company stands behind it.

Super easy to use & adjust temp/velocity while in use. My pups aren’t too sure about it yet. I’ve got two Keeshonds and they have TWO very thick coats. This made drying them & blowing out the undercoat a dream.

I needed to replace a more powerful dryer and was looking for a better price. I had heard lots of positive comments on grooming social media about this dryer. As it was less than half the price of my previous dryer, I gave it a try. Some of the features were very strange compared to what I was used to. The hose retracts considerably when not in use. There is a hard plastic cuff near the nozzle. The filter cover screws on. The nozzle is hard plastic instead of flexible rubber. The nozzle can pop off of you hold it close to coat. Now that I have used it for many weeks, here is my review. I prefer that the hose retracts as I used to have to hang the hose on the wall, now I don’t. The hard cuff is comfortable to hold and doesn’t heat up or pinch your hand. The filter cover never pops off and is super easy to remove and clean. The hard plastic nozzle discourages aggressive dogs from biting the end of the nozzle. It took about a week to get used to the clip on the end of the nozzle and I no longer have issues with it popping off. Also, there is no metal clamp on the nozzle that I used to deal with. It also has three heat (no heat and low or high heat) levels and adjustable velocity. My only wish would be more velocity on high setting. I will look to see if they make a higher velocity if I need another, but I use this on all sizes and breeds of dogs and it does a good job of drying.

Our beautiful dog has such thick fur, this was recommended by someone you has a breed like ours. It would take me an hour with my regular hair dryer, and he would still be wet. This is so powerful, works great!

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!
