Title: Dri Pod
Post by: Ian Gourlay on October 23, 2014, 01:01:03 pm

Just looked on restomate for something else and there are these dry pod

although I have known of them for some time  i have no experience on their perfomance


It said something about drying  10 feet across   So does this mean if you placed them in the middle of a 20feet room it would dry 10feet each way

I use them on most jobs, I have three, and use all three on a loung/ diner the carpets are as good as dry the time ive packed all my stuff away back in the van, I think one would only be good for a small room ie a bedroom

Hi stuart

Thats what i thought but then i read this 10 feet thing

They are worth it then

Because I was disappointed with Turbo Driers  and only take them out of van on odd occasions

The Dripods will dry a 20 foot radius.

They might dry a 20ft radius but it will take forever ! Ive just cleaned a 6x4 carpet this afternoon in peterlee, I took three out of my van and the carpet took 20 odd mins to dry
snails are a lot more powerful but heavy ! I have been carrying 4 sahara pros in the van as well as the pods

Steven

they are quite new , so unlikely folk are going to part with them ! They are no where near as powerfull as an average snail drier but I wouldn't part with mine

As Stuart says they arent a replacement for a snail. They are great though.

The pods are good if you have a few but only a fraction of the power of a sahara pro

It's true the pod doesn't have the power of a snail. But they do blow 360 degrees

Stuart  , John what would happen if you used a sahara pro and a Ipod in same room would the sahara pro help the ipod   , just thinking allowed  because 3 would cost over 300 plus vat

Get a VELO lighter and as good as a turbo much better than a dripod

Twice the cost as well

I'm thinking in investing in a couple of new blowers for office cleaning but thinking the Dri-Pod may be more suitable as the Snail type may blow paperwork around in an office environment, anyone with who has had experience of using either for LM in office cleaning like to share?

They have a 360 ° gentle breeze so should be ok for what you want
