Help: Compact Dryer Recommendation?

Hiya Folks! We have been away for a while. We entered our first show while we were gone and took BOW, so now I have the fever! It is time to get serious. I am wondering if someone can offer some resouce aid/suggestions.

I would very much appreciate any recommendations on a dryer that would be a great workhorse, but be small and mobile. I travel often (beyond just show travel) and need to take the dryer along with the grooming table, crates, etc. and not overwhelm a small space and gracious hosts. If I were just using this dryer at home, I would buy the Edemco 6 leg stand dryer. But that is just too big for my current situation. Edemco makes a table version, but I wonder if that would be practical for an OES in full coat.

I am hoping you seasoned folks and ardent shoppers will be able to steer me in the right direction. I have so very much to learn! :!:

Any of these work very well. I have listed them in order of price. I have had the first one for years & haul it to shows & also use it for drying at home when I only do whites for upcoming shows or to get the "hard to get" areas like behind the ears & arm pits. You could use it dry the whole dog if needed. It is compact enough to travel with. I know friends who have the other models listed & like them also. As far as how easy to transport they are, I don't know first hand. I will say the one I have does blow the water out of the hair. You can feel & see the water hitting your hand.

These are the ones we have:

It comes in 3 strengths - not sure which one it is though. Ours is a hand-me-down and OLD, so I know they last forever.....

I also have used this one- they have it at the Paw in the pool rehab area and the grooming salon has them as well. Another cool idea - they have 2 of these in tandem with a Y hose and you can use one; or both for a super blast! They are this way in the pool area for quick dry downs:

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate the testimonials and links. I can read ads and spec charts for days, but as a result. I have already made some goofy purchases that I need to replace. So I truly appreciate both your detailed responses. You rock!

Many thanks!
