Price seemed out of my league, with this discount it's more accessible though 
Does anyone know if:
1. It requires 220V. or what? I only have 110V in my garage and outside in front of house. If no, how easy is it to wire-up a 220V, the circuit breaker panel is on garage wall easily accessible if that helps.
2. Is this one of those products that can be reversed and used as a vacuum cleaner? If not, maybe we start a new thread on what's a great car/garage vacuum?
Thanks again gents

It is ONLY a blower.

Yeah but it's one nasty blower........
Thanks R&L, I just looked and the garage breaker is 15 Amp 
Can I replace the 15A breaker with a 20A breaker or would that be a no-no?

My electrician looked at it and when he found the 14 gauge wire to the outlet he said code would not permit a 20 amp breaker with that gauge of wire!

Can you feed the correct gauge wire from your sub panel to the garage? Probably pretty simple job for an electrician. Every garage really should have at least one 20 amp outlet.

I have used a 15amp circuit several times and not popped the breaker. Depends on if you use both motors at the same time or not and how long it takes you to dry the car if you do use both motors.

I used a 15 Amp service but I had to turn everything else that shares it, off.
And then sometimes, the 15A breaker would still trip after running the Master Blaster for more than 10 minutes, continuously.
Don't just replace a 15A breaker with a 20A, the wiring won't handle it and it won't be safe.
If your Electrical Panel is in the garage, it's relatively easy to install a 20A breaker and add an outlet right next to the panel.
I added several for the compressor, woodworking tools and the Master Blaster.
Great product, saves me a lot of time and effort.

Bingo! I'm placing the order in the morning.......
Thanks lots **** Jockey, since the circuit breaker is about 10 ft from the workbench, I'm thinking I can run the wiring to the wall above the workbench! Great suggestion, thanks!

Received my Master Blaster today. All I can say is it puts the leaf blower to shame. The amount of air this thing moves is unbelievable. Going to make drying the car a breeze. Thanks Swiftrider08 for your input on a great product. I can see I will get many years of use out of this.

Once you try the Master Blaster, no way would you ever use anything else!
