i've got the chance of getting one of these air movers very cheap . anybody used them on carpets before . ie are they too powerful. i thought they'd be good for drying stairs . your thoughts please

Just watch for pictures and radiator fluff!!

thats a beast to take in some ones house just to dry carpet only unless your after big air movement after a flood ( depending on the material/s your drying ) or post fire and your needing negative air.

Again just IMO but for a suite then I wud feel its a winner but I could see that items in the house will go flying and that could be costly.

aye its a powerful one . its just an idea . its only because i've got the chance of it very cheap that i thought of it. i believe it has various settings and because its on a frame can be turned to face downwards a bit like one of them whole room dryers. will probably buy it anyway even if i dont use it as i could sell it on at a profit at some point. what i dont want to do is damage anyones property. will test it first. thanks guys for your replys

I've got one, its a bit too big for domestic use, get a second hand turbo dryer it will last longer and be more use to you, unless your getting it for £20 then its a bargin

[dan paton]

paul your reading my mind . it is £20 im getting it for. is there a particular type of turbo dryer you could reccomend as there's loads on ebay but some must be better makes than others . cheers

I have both types but find I use a smaller version of this one more often.
The are better for furniture than snails.
