Electric blowers
My Toro electric blower I used to dry my car just quit on me. Anyone care to offer a suggestion to replace it and the specs? I only had the blower 3 years, is that normal for them to wear out so fast. It has also been used to blow grass off driveway after mowing.

Its normal for a Toro to wear out after 3 years! I bought a ECHO from Home Depot many years ago and it just keeps running. I use their clean oil and use the blower to dry off my car. Never an issue. Also use it for yard work too...

Cost $300 new, probably more now. Water doesn't have a chance with this one.
To do interiors, I open all the doors on my cars, remove anything not nailed down and blast away.

There is a product out there called the master blaster. I know a forum vendor sells them, but I'm not sure which one. Might want to look into it - supposed to be a very good product.

It's been around for years, originally (and still) used by dog groomers. To me it's expensive for what it is.
