New Powr-Flite Downdraft Air Mover
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“Most carpet dryers blow air across the floor from one side. The F6 Downdraft works differently: its 6-blade precision-pitched fan pulls dry, warm air from above and pushes it down and out across the floor in 360 degrees, so the room dries from the center outward. Powr-Flite rates it at more than 3,500 cfm and says it can dry an entire room in as little as 15 minutes. That makes it a strong fit for carpet cleaners, restoration crews and facility teams turning over classrooms, hotel rooms and offices after extraction. The 2-speed, 1/4 hp motor is rated for continuous use and draws just 3.3 amps, and a circuit breaker protects the unit. Four heavy-duty casters lift it to the right height for downdraft drying and make it easy to roll, a telescoping handle helps on longer moves, and the roto-molded polyethylene housing is built for years of use. Units stack up to four high for storage or a trip in the van. It can also run at 15, 30 or 90 degree angles when you need directed airflow. For whole-room drying, it’s a serious tool.”

Questions
Powr-Flite F6 Downdraft: common questions
How is a downdraft dryer different from a regular air mover?
Instead of blowing air across the floor from one side, the F6 pulls air from above and pushes it down and out across the floor in 360 degrees, drying the whole room from the center outward.
How fast can it dry a room?
Powr-Flite says the F6 can dry an entire room in as little as 15 minutes. Actual drying time depends on the carpet, how wet it is and the air in the room.
Can it be angled?
Yes. Besides downdraft drying, it can run at 15, 30 or 90 degree angles for more directed airflow.
How heavy is it and how do I move it?
It weighs 50 lb and rolls on four heavy-duty casters with a telescoping handle. Up to four units stack for storage or transport.
