Bike air dryers

Anyone bought one of the motorcycle bike dryers from walmart? I seen them the other night but didn't pay attention what brand it was, I think it said 4 hp filtered warm air. Looked like the ones I see advertised in magazines. Just curious if any one has picked one up from there and if they're even worth the money. I figure I can use it on the dogs to if the air isn't too hot. They'll be happy about that.

Leaf blower for me. I like it cause it also blows leafs. Electric one and they cost about $19.00. I also use comressed ait occasionaly but it's not as effective as the blower.

Okay, so I am having the wife pick one up while she is at wal mart. Had her price check it again and it is $20. I forgot to mention that in the first post. So I figure even if it is a flop I don't lose my a$$ on it. And I have a leaf blower and a shop vac as a back up. I'll let yall know how it works sometime this week. Couldn't find a web site for it, but here is an add on Ebay.

motorcycle dryer

gotta throw my 2cents in and go with the leaf blower. It was free, it works in 5 minutes (I just try not to drive water into places where it should not go ) and I finish up with a chamois.
