Post by: Griffus on January 17, 2011, 10:57:21 am: I bought 2 turbo dryers from ebay a couple of years ago and they're great.

I paid about £120 inc carriage and VAT each from the following supplier. Although he has no dryers listed at the moment if you are after any it may be worth mailing him.

Post by: peter maybury on January 18, 2011, 10:33:39 pm: I bought 3 of the must have driers one had to be exchanged straight after delivery and 2 years later they have all stopped working. they got veome of the dryers I have are years old and in particular the saharas are used the most and have given me 1000,s of hours of use. Spend a little bitmore andbuy from a reputable manufactures it pays in the long run. What I wasted on the must have machines I could have bought 2 reliable machines that would still be serving me.

Looks like one of those cheap imports, looks better than it is because of the price.

They have a very short lead as well, only about 4 foot.
