By now you may have seen the EGO range of intelligent, lithium-ion battery powered blowers. If you haven't, take a look at them here.
The main benefit of a cordless blower is the ability to dry your car, van, truck or motorbike quickly and efficiently... without having to touch any surface. However, let's take a look at the top 5 reasons why you should consider an EGO blower!
1) Eliminate the chance of fine scratches and swirls
Other than incorrect washing techniques, towel drying is a major cause of fine swirl marks in your clear coat. These accumulate over time and make your paintwork appear dull. When sunlight hits your car they become very obvious!
Using an EGO blower to dry paintwork, glass, trim and your wheels means you're not physically touching any of these areas. Therefore your clear coat will do its job better for longer. This will make your paint really pop especially if you have a wax or sealant installed.
A ceramic coating will further help you maintain the clarity of your paintwork. Take a look at our range of coatings and detailing services if you'd like one installed.
2) Get into all the nooks and crannies!
With a nozzle installed on the end of your EGO blower, the air can be directed into the smallest of gaps. This will allow any trapped water to be dislodged, eliminating annoying after-drips that can cause marks on paintwork; this is a big problem in hard water areas.
Note: The green-tipped nozzle in our photos is actually an after-market accessory. Let us know if you'd like us to stock it!
3) Lightweight
The EGO blowers we stock here at Clean + Shiny weigh in at around 2KG. Light enough for ease of use, heavy enough to represent the great built quality. The blowers are also well-balanced by the rear-mounted battery, minimising strain or fatigue.
4) Long battery life (5Ah battery)
Realistically, for drying vehicles, you'll use the LB7650E (pictured) in High Speed mode. There's a minimum of 25mins runtime as you're not constantly on the trigger. In Low Speed mode, you can expect 150mins (2.5hrs) of battery runtime.
5) An EGO blower is a 2-in-1 product!
Not only can you dry any vehicle but clearing your garden of leaves and other debris just became a breeze! Each blower is supplied with a long nozzle, making household tasks as simple as squeezing the trigger.
6) They're fun!
As a Brucie Bonus, we just wanted to mention how fun the EGO blowers are to use. It becomes an event to dry your car! And even if you're just walking past your blower in the garage, you'll want to give the trigger a squeeze... just because! Clean + Shiny's MD, John Hole, absolutely loves his LB7650E and has been taking it to Caffeine & Machine car meets to demo it! Needless to say it was one of those purchases that has paid for itself in many ways.
So there we have it, 5... 6 reasons why you should consider getting yourself an EGO blower to dry your vehicle(s) with!
Did we mention EGO also manufacture a Battery Powered Pressure Washer?
