Default Question about the Harley Hog Blaster

The ad says the Hog Blaster MC Dryer delivers "warm" air.

Does the HB actually have a heating element?

Or does it just put out the "warmish" air any vacuum cleaner does when operated as a blower?

get ready for the "don't waste your money, use a leaf blower, reversed vacuum, air compressor, aircraft prop wash"or some other redneck solution.
Also, don't waste your time cleaning it, get out and ride 24 hours a day, no time for cleaning if you are a real biker.
I have a airshammy which is similar idea and works great the few times I actually hose the whole bike down. They are not that expensive and made in the USA.

It puts out warm air but takes a while to warm up.

If you have a good pet supply store nearby, check them out. I believe the "air blaster" is the same price if not cheaper then the motorcycle version one made by the same company.

Thanks for all the answers . . . enjoyed even the funny sarcastic ones. Really!

Anyway, answered my own question this morning. Went to the local Harley dealer and bought one. They don't have a heating element. But after 30 seconds or so the air does get mildly warm. And the air 'volume/velocity' seems like it should do the job.

The box says it is "Made in America". That's satisfying.
