Hello, I just purchased the AirForce Blaster Sidekick. What an amazing, well built machine. I have found a new use for it. I have a Vermont Castings wood stove that is very difficult at times to get an updraft. Without that I get a room full of smoke. Using the Sidekick, I place the air nozzle into the stoves flue and switch it on for about twenty seconds. The warm air will reverse the draft and allow a fire to be started easily. I was looking for a good US built product and am so impressed with its performance.  Build it right and in the US and they will buy it.

I bought this being pretty skeptical of the product.... Wow this thing blew me away. The $100 I spent for the sidekick is worth its weight in gold to me after washing my bike today. I am strongly suggesting this to my friends and fellow riders. Keep up the great work!

Dear Metro, I just bought a Motorcycle Dryer for my company. We Rent Harley-Davidson & Honda Motorcycles. This really takes the work out of cleaning a bike.!!!!!! Cuts 20 min. of time to clean a bike & no water in the controls. I love Touchless drying. Thank You.
