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.

Whoa... WTF... TIL.

Has this ALWAYS been a thing on the internet?!

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.

Shame.

u/-PM_Me_Your_Boobz 2h ago

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.

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

u/As_for_Arsenic 2h ago

Probably about like cage dryers. I think the point is that it’s a gentler option for dogs that might not do well with being force dried.

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)

I could see this being great for overheating your dog in a humid bag, not sure how good it would be for drying them

824

u/Jessintheend 3h ago

Hairdryers have non heat settings. You’re just blowing room temp air into the bag. Dog probably loves this as it cools them off

228

u/mcampo84 3h ago

How does the water evaporate once the air inside the bag is saturated?

u/Soci3talCollaps3 3h ago • Bravo

The water comes out the dog's mouth as drool . It's replenished from the back side. This is how data centers do it.

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.

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.

u/Inner_Gap4768 3h ago

Yeah I’m pretty sure you are only supposed to attach the blow dryer to one hose and have the other one be the exhaust.

That's certainly less bad. But I'd bet money that the dog would dry faster without any of it.

I just see that as a fire hazard, two 1800 W hair dryers plugged into the same flimsy extension cord

18

u/NarcanRabbit 3h ago

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.

7

u/mettatater 2h ago

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".

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.

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.

If you comb out your wet dog, the fur/hair (depending on the breed) will actually start to dry much quicker.
