This kind of goes with Karen T's post viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6934

If I were to get one of these, which one would be the BEST purchase? :dk I'm always open for other suggestions. I've been looking into
getting a dryer for QUITE a while now but haven't really enforced it. I don't have very much $$ and I prefer to stay under 150-170$. I have a pretty long list of other things I would like to purchase, but a Dryer is definitely on the top of my list!

Thanks!!

Ps. This is the cut Rudy is in right now

No matter what cut that boy has he is one handsome Dude. I have an older oster stand dryer that I purchased off of kijiji for $150 but new it still lists for over $500.

Hi, Em. There is a topic below, "Wondering Which Forced Air Dryer to Purchase" which might be helpful.

I just purchased the Double K. I'm not sure if I like it yet though; right now the dogs are terrified of it :cry

I'll just say that any metro I have ever heard would wake the dead. Can we say "LOUD". I wouldn't get a metro

I have the bear and I am really happy with it. When it has been on for awhile the air is warm and Izzy will lay on the table and when that side is done Ijust flip her over and do the other side.

Emily, you can leave the dog food container in by Rudy and he leaves it alone? Mine has the entire edge chewed, looks like a squirrel got into it but NO it was Tucker helping himself to some extra dog food. :lol3

Apparently so! He might go stand by it when he's hungry, but he's never chewed on it! Same with that trashcan. :dk :paw However, toilets and trashcans without lids he wont leave alone :goof

I have never used one, but I'd go with the Bear out of those. I'm no fan of the metro dryers. Based on the FPM vs amps and HP the Bear is probably your best bang for your buck and noise.
