New Powr-Flite Hybrid Air Mover
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“For carpet cleaners and building service crews, the drying fan you actually use is the one that is easy to carry and store. The Powr-Flite Hybrid PDH1 combines a squirrel-cage style blower with the stronger push of an axial fan, and Powr-Flite rates its maximum air velocity at 3,400 ft per minute. It weighs just 18 lb, which Powr-Flite says is 45 percent less than a typical blower, and stands only 11.5 in high, so you can fit more dryers in the van and the storage closet. The maximum running draw is 2.8 amps, which helps you avoid overloaded, blown circuits when you run several dryers in a building. Three speeds let you match the airflow to the job, and the 20 ft cord reaches most outlets without an extension. The housing is heavy-duty co-polymer polypropylene, and Powr-Flite says it survived being thrown off a three-story building. It is a good fit after carpet extraction in offices, hotels and apartments. If you want a kickstand and a built-in power outlet, the PDH2 Deluxe Hybrid adds both.”
