Default CG AirSpeed blower

Has anyone tried this thing. Its similar to a garden blower only smaller. It says it can blow air at a speed of 110mph. I've been looking at getting a blower for drying and was wondering how this would compare to a full size one. Just by looking at the pictures it looks like it might be to small to dry an entire car in a reasonable amount of time. Anyone have experience or opinions on this product?

I use a blower to dry cars I do....its a leaf blower ...200MPH as they say..it makes a world of difference using one to dry a car...no more drying towels on the paint..just a towel to blot areas with some water...

this is the one I got...

Weed Eater EBV200W Electric Blower and Vacuum - Wal-Mart

or you could get the cheaper one..which I would of gotten but sold out....

Weed Eater WEB150 Electric Blower - Wal-Mart


Now if mine broke today..I would run out and get another....


Now I have a gas powered one for the yard....its just to cumbersome and loud..and its used as a vac also and was afraid it would bombard the paint with any stuck on grit on the inside of the machine...


but for 26.00 its a great investment if you get the cheaper one here...you need a 16x16 towel now to blot water now..instead of a huge drying towel...

They sure look the same. Although the CG one says it spins at 1600 rpm while the $8 one is only 1300 rpm so who knows for sure. My original concern though is whether this thing is powerful enough and how it would compare to a full size one like the ones Al-53 mentioned, which is actually what I was originally thinking of getting. I think I might just go to walmart.
