Dang the air movers can be pretty expensive,I have heard the ones that blow along the carpets surface can blow alot af things around like pictures off the wall and blow papers around so I have been looking at the ones that blow downward.
What is a good one that is not going to kill my wallet,I am just starting out so I need to be a little thrifty.
Thanks,Doug

The Mytee Tradewind makes a good choice. If you live in the USA, you can buy one for around $200 or so. It will not blow pictures off the wall unless you want it to.  ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

| Aiming your fan/airmover at the ceiling seems to distribute a rain of air movement throughout the whole carpet area vs one path if aimed down.. Depending on the situation of course.. |

John, I looked at the Mytee units not bad for the price. Mytee has two models one that pulls more power but smaller. You can also find some around $139 with 2200 CFM's in ICS mag (www.cleaningsupplynetwork.com). If you are using it for flood work just watch the amp draw. |

| Do you get it dry under an hour, or is that to keep you cool. |

That is to keep him cool. I have used fan's like that. No way can you dry carpets consistantly under an hour with it. It does a greatb job of keeping the cleaner cool though, but i still prefer the Turbo dryers for that. Throws the air out much harder and further to keep cool with. 
Most cleaners prefer to keep cool like Paul here however:  ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

Well Ken sorry to say it but yea it does keep me cooler but your dead wrong.. That CGD job was dry in less than 30 minutes with that fan and TM POWER..
 Ya see ya need the TM power combined with a fan like that (cheap less than $30) and skills man.. Skills..
 I know my dry times and I won't lie about them..With that fan and TM POWER and SKILLS Resi.Nylons will dry in 1-2hrs.. If i post pad then even sooner but most custys don't want to pay the extra.. Ken don't dis me man..
 Thats what it is no matter what you say it don't matter.. DRIES FAST MAN...F A S T......... |

Imaginary machines have 0 psi and 0 gpm. They are dry the fastest. Kenny has a corner on that market.

I got the Tempest air mover. Found it at Jon-Don for $149.00.....cheapest I could find. does a good job....has a high and low setting.....and yes you have to be careful where you point it or it will blow things around.....but it does dry carpet fairly quickly. ------------- Dan |
