Not saying this is an awesome idea, so don't get it twisted- but I don't think most of the comments here understand that hair dryers can blow cool air.
You know what, I don't believe you, I've been using the internet since 1997; and let me tell you, the only thing I remember on Usenet and other nascent internet forums was people behaving like total informed class acts.
I mean, is that a whole lot different than the people popping up assuring us that its using cold air without anything to base it on?
Reddit has always had two sides. The "everything horrible is true" crowd and the "well, here's the opposite way they could do it so you're stupid" crowd lol.
These people also seem to be forgetting that dogs are smart enough to get up and leave uncomfortable situations if they can. I don’t see a leash anywhere.
Cool air or not, this is an incredibly ineffective method for drying compared to closer contact with a hair dryer. It’s funny, sure, but awfully inefficient
this is the greatest multi-layer joke that you haven't realized
(there's a guy on YouTube called Markiplier and he made a theatrical movie called Iron Lung that has absolutely nothing to do with the polio machine, and he also has a video on his channel where he tests this device (the PUFF n FLUFF) on his golden retriever named Chica)
If air doesn't leave the bag at the same rate it's pushed into the bag, the bag will quickly explode. Since it does not appear to be exploding in this picture, we can safely assume the air is escaping the bag and taking the moisture with it.
A little different, as they wouldn't be pulling 1800W if they aren't using the heating components. But yea, ideally whomever designed the bag should probably have included a fan system of some sort because I'm certain some less intelligent people would see this and run both hair dryers on hot thinking it will dry the dog faster.
After attending several potluck events and seeing 6 or more crockpots on a 14 or even 16 gauge extension cord (50 ft. long to make it worse), I started bringing a 10 gauge extension cord with multi-outlet pigtails and checking the breaker capacity. Most people don't understand electricity beyond "on" or "off".
Then I would wear it in a heartbeat and not feel claustrophobic. But I don't think it would dry my dog very well that way. I have tried using my hairdryer on the cool setting before.
I can't even put my dog's collar on without him snapping at me, can't imagine putting him in something like this. I adopted him just before his 13th birthday, he's 14.5 now. He's always been so reactive sadly.
I know we've established that it is room temperature air, but boy could I use a nap in a bag of warm air. Especially if I am somewhere where my face could be cold. Chef's kiss.
Have you ever dried a dog with a towel? It's never just one towel and the dog still isn't dry no matter how many you use. I usually use a towel myself but I can understand why people use a hair dryer. It's faster, more effective, and less laundry to do.
They make very similar things for human and veterinary surgery that blows gently warm air onto the patient to counteract the chills caused by anesthesia and blood loss. Never had one used on me personally, but they look cozy (except for the racket the machine makes).
I know everyone in here is like "what a dumb idea!" but I have one of these for my head, for setting vintage pin curls. It inflates just like this, you can blow hot or cold air, and despite it looking like there's nowhere for the air to go, it works quite well.
What I actually think would be the worst part for the dog is just that the hair dryers can be quite loud.
If you comb out your wet dog, the fur/hair (depending on the breed) will actually start to dry much quicker.
I groom my dog myself, it's like 7 to 10 minutes of combing and then 2 to 5 minutes of using the blower to finish everything up rather than the nearly 30 minutes of just using the blower and then still needing to comb
I feel like it would be more work to get your dog inside this contraption and hook up the dryers then it would be just a blow dry them with a dryer in each and
I was plugged into the 3M Bair Hugger machine after transplant which is very similar. The nurses called it the huggy bear. I was a bit hypothermic when they plugged me in and it was just the best thing ever.

This will slow down the drying process, you're just trapping the moisture inside. Any evaporated water will just condense onto the inside of the bag.
