I'm using a leaf blower now but was wondering if the Master Blaster is that much better.

It was buy a leaf blower or a Master Blaster. I really like the MB. One nice thing it has it a built-in heater to heat the air. It also has a filtered intake to make sure you don't blast the paint with a foreign object. It even filters out domestic objects.

I think it's worth it because it's such a time saver.

The hose/nozzle allows you to get into all of the nooks and crannies around the wheels/calipers/etc. and the heated air is very effective.

Makes quick work of drying the paint too.

It is expensive but it's very well made. You can order extra hose and wall mount it if you want.

I use the Master Blaster. I think it works better then a leaf blower and it also is much more quiet.

I bought one earlier this year and I think it works great. Car is perfectly dry in very little time. Plus the nozel is soft and will not damage your car if you get too close. Try that with a leaf blower.

Works much better then several leaf blowers I used to use.

Usage of my Master Blaster cuts the drying time in half, resulting in less overall towel contact with the paint, therefore less potential for scratching the paint surface during drying.

After blasting most of the water off of my vehicles, a single pass wipe down with a micro-fiber towel completes the drying job.

Yes the Master Blaster is pricey, however being able to buy a top quality USA manufactured product represents a good value for the money in my opinion.

I've had one for over 2 years, easy to use and well made. Its all i use on the Corvette. I tried my small hand held leaf blower on the wifes Mini. If you are picky and want something easy to use its the master blaster hands down, If you are cheap any leaf blower will do.

I put off buying one for years, but I ordered one over the weekend (before the price goes up, and it comes with a free wall mount & extra year of warranty!) Ive used microfiber, blades, towels, you name it, but will not subject my car to a leaf blower. The heating/filtering of the MB is what ultimately sold me.

Edit: bought through Top Flight Repro, they have the best deal I've found and are a forum vendor

I have a master blaster and all I use it for is to blow out my garage, I really think it sucks compared to my de ionizer. The best place to buy them are at Costco.

I had always used a leaf blower, it worked good. Until I decided to get the MB, I sure wished I had gotten it alot sooner.

I don't use a towel anymore since it does an awesome job. It is somewhat pricey, but well worth it.

You will not regret it!!!!!

Besides, the MB provides warm air and is easier to handle in use
