The price I paid for this thing is insanely cheap. The quality, durability, and usefulness of this heated blow dryer is amazing for the cheap price I paid. Nowadays I'd expect for something this good and high quality to spend around $200 or a bit more. Best money I've every spent in my life. I use this heated blow dryer for all my goats and my huge breed dogs. This dryer is hot, but not too hot. It has a good high pressure, but not too much pressure. It is a bit noisy, but not that bad. If your livestock or dogs are skittish period, then you may want to do training firstwith the noisy and air being blown on them. Anything such as this will cause stress. It's not the product, it's just the animal themselves. My goats are used to loud noises and fans blowing air at them in the barn and my dogs are acclimated to a hair dryer, which this blower makes it easier because it's not hot like a human hair dryer. So no accidents or constant hand movement to keep from burning a pets skin or fur while drying. Seriously, if you haven't already bought this but you're thinking about it, just click the buy now button. I guarantee you won't be sorry come dog bathing day or livestock show season time.
