Quite a small, but chunky unit. It feels substantial and well made. A decent long lead enables you to get around the car. I use bought it for car detailing work together with the big, hosed Vertool. It is great for blowing out the water from all the nooks and cranys; wingmirrors, fuel caps, door handles, etc., which drip water at the most inopportune polishing moments. Its seriously powerful – wrenches your hand when you first switch it on, but small enough to be very practical. I’m using it on every car I detail.
Delivered today and used today for the first time. Plenty of power and easy to use, I would recommend this product to a friend.
If your thinking about buying this . DO IT! I’m absolutely in love with this product and it’s even better than I thought it would be
Bought this for my husband and he loves it as dried his car well including hard to get to areas. Recommended it to another friend who also purchased one for her husband
As said brilliant bit of kit, way more powerful than expected. The only downside is that it’s quite loud
Totally brilliant for drying motorcycle. I dropped it and broke one of its feet so it’s a little fragile there but, what it does it does very well.
Bought this to clean and dry of my RC cars and trucks. This is super powerful and has no issues drying the vehicles out fast. Don’t have the space for a compressor but this is just as if not better.
Great bit of kit to dry door mirror door shuts wheels
This is a great product and works perfectly for drying a motorcycle. I also have a ‘full-size’ Air Force Blaster which is excellent too. However this smaller version is so convenient to use that I use more often. For motorcycles I’d recommend the small version as being sufficient, and for cars and large vehicles then buy the full-size version. Either way I’d highly recommend both of them.
Great car dryer gets into those annoying places,like wing mirrors,grills, around headlights,and all those place water finds to hide.
Would not be so good for hole car would need a master blaster revolution in my opinion.
Excellent quality product, efficient ordering and superb delivery. Very pleased.
Works well. Got this mostly for wheels and panel gaps etc. Downsides are it gets a bit heavy and is a bit noisy.
Really speeds up the drying and also clears water from behind the mirrors and from inside the wheel nuts.
Very handy and powerful also it does the job very well. Even for inside the car to blow all dust. Recommend to anyone
Very powerful
Bit of weight to the unit it just feels quality unit.
Two nozzles .

This product is amazing. Everyone who is serious about cars needs one. However, they are so overpriced on Amazon. Only got one off Amazon as I was given a voucher. Look to pay around the 90 mark.
Good quality product, well built. Haven’t used it yet but seems like it going to do an excellent job.
I bought this Air Force Blaster Sidekick primarily to dry all those hard to reach components of my bicycle after a thorough clean, and it works very very well. It was delivered in two days, just as I had been told, and I used it the same day to dry my bike after a deep clean. I was surprised and impressed at how much water the Sidekick blew from the chain, cassette and derailleur, the hubs and gear change levers. When I lubed the various components afterwards I was confident that I was not trapping unwanted moisture which might otherwise have lead to corrosion. The Sidekick feels well made and all being well it will provide me with many years of good service. Shame it was a bit pricey, but I guess the cost reflects the quality. Worth buying.
Build quality is excellent, very robust on/off switch, rubber nozzle so won’t damage the bodywork of car/bike, very powerful motor it will remove the hair from your head so don’t point it at your face and for the UK import a very long mains cable fitted with a good tough UK adapter/plug.
It was packaged well and arrived promptly.
Sturdy and powerful for it’s size. Can even be used as a mini leave blower. Struggles to dry a whole car, but blasts out water from nooks and crannies quite well. Certainly recommended it!
This is a great blower with lots of power but I find it a bit heavy. Having said that, its compact size is very handy.
If you don’t need something portable, I would recommend something like a Blo Air GT over this. Slightly more dough but probably better.
Great, i was surprised by how powerful it is. Great for drying the bike. For me Unlike the other options on Amazon this one is actually portable. Also its quite expensive by comparison but im very maticulous and the build quality feels excellent. As most will know you get what you pay for.
Very powerful machine wasn’t expecting as much power as it had definatly pleased indeed
Fast disposal of water. A bit slow on roof but elsewhere worked a treat. It made cleaning the wheels a much easier chore.
All good, wow it’s got some gusto for a small machine… build quality is great looks though it’s built to last..
Great for blowing surplus water out of those small places when washing the car, side mirror housings etc. Also for removing water from windows without leaving streaks. I’m happy with it.
I have used this a few times now but the only thing that stops it from getting a 5* review is that plug sockets lead is a bit loose… you can tell an adapter has been added to the end and may require a socket change at some point… but the functionality of drying the car is amazing. Especially if you have used ceramic wax previously on your car.
I bought this to help dry my car after washing, before applying wax and other protection products. Works a dream in getting water out of every nook and cranny. Helps avoid swirl marks often caused by manual drying. Has other various uses too, like blowing all the dust out of my PC’s case and fans. Would certainly recommend.
Very fast delivery and awesome but of kit!
Makes drying effortless.
Well worth it, very effective and more efficient than using a drying towel.
Excellent product. Washing the motorbike is not my idea of a fun afternoon but this cuts the time taken considerably, well worth the money
Excellent well made product.is used with great success on helping to dry car after washing.it gets water out of areas which are difficult to dry with drying cloths.
Product as described, awesome piece of kit. Well packed and fast delivery. Would recommend and use again. Excellent service
Purchased for the hubby for christmas for his beloved bike! Up until now, he had customised a garden leaf-blower and while he claims that was functional, this is even better. Great for reaching the smaller/tighter places and powerful. He’s happy so i’m happy!
absolutley awesome!! i been Detailing for a few years now and this has just changed the game for me 100% must buy!!!
Great product , very powerful . And fantastic seller .. highly recommend this seller .
brilliant, i use on my ceramic coated M4 Competition, water flys off. But if your car not detailed or taken care off its no good as water wont clear well.
Love it works great . I think it will be really useful in the winter when drying with a micro fibre alone can take forever.
Excellent piece of kit and much cheaper and quieter than getting a compressor and using compressed air.
Pricey but definitely worth it for the money, you will not regret it!
Probably a bit of a stretch trying to dry a whole car with it, but if the car is well protected then it shouldn’t be too difficult.
Quality piece of kit, lightweight and plenty powerful enough for my needs.
Have the full size version, this one good for drying gardening machines and window frames
Bought one years ago, constantly being borrowed by my son to clean and dry his cycles (mountain bikes and racing bikes, he rides all year round). Got fed up having to re-claim it and as it’s his birthday 2/7/19 decided to buy him his own. He will be the proud owner.
Being American made it’s really solid and built to last, robust metal body and switches.
Since buying I am finding my self using this for loads of tasks, I regularly blow out the internals of my PC and its great for getting dust out from TV cabinets etc. just come in from a distance first as it is powerful! I dry my windows with it in conjunction with a kartcher vac. I even dry down the wicker patio chair sand composite deck after a jet wash.
The other day I blew all the dust of the blades on my tower fan instead of having to take the cage of and wipe it. Its a hundred quid, and that’s a fair bit but it just keeps making itself useful. If it wasn’t for the fact it can’t do its intended task quite well enough I’d give it 5 stars so its a 4 for that reason.
It is fantastic and worth every penny of the purchase price.
Trying to avoid micro scratches after hours of prep and polishing a car is so important. The Metrovac is powerful and light to use and I would recommend highly. Also great for removing water lodged behind badges, light clusters, mirrors etc.
Amazing amount of air for such a small machine. Gets water out from cracks and crevices. Clears dust and debris from inside and outside the vehicle. Will clear whole panels but not very quickly. Well worth the cash for a blower that is light and easy to use.
Worth every penny and better than a compressor for drying bikes, car nooks /crannies, cleaning vacuum cleaner internals/filters etc
I read some reviews prior to buying this blower as I predominantly wanted it for my car.
Most criticism seemed to be aimed at the fact it wasn’t much use as a leaf blower which having purchased one now it isn’t. It’s a bit to small and compact for that however as a blower for cars/motorbikes and other such large equipment its absolutely fantastic. For such a small item its really powerful and does everything you’d want it to and more.
My only word of warning would be that it’s way to powerful for such things small electrical items that get dusty like computers, xbox’s, tv’s etc.
It’s not cheap but it’s well worth the money.
Love it !
It’s very handy for getting the water out of hard to get areas so great to use before waxing etc .
Only thing could improve would be length of the power cable as it is a tad short .
But powerful little blower .
This item is exactly what I’d expected
Perhaps a little more expensive than some ‘similar’ items. I was prepared to pay for the reputation and not disappointed. As the saying goes you get what you pay for.
Delivery was exactly as expected. No issues.
Perfect for drying hard to get areas of cleaned ca
Trusted seller, always needed a sidekick, cuts so much time off when blasting out all the water from grills etc. Great for interior dust too, if I ever decide to go the step further and want to dry the entire car then I’ll upgrade here
This product is as described and the seller’s customer service is excellent. Quick delivery. I would not hesitate to recommend. For detailing a car engine, this little machine is indispensable. A++
