The K-9 II is a portable dog blower/dryer for grooming work that includes water removal, coat drying and blowing out loose undercoat. Electric Cleaner Company lists both home and professional applications, with two operating speeds so the user can choose the output level for the dog and the stage of grooming.

Air is warmed by the motors as the dryer operates. There is no separate heating element, so drying combines directed airflow with the warmth generated by the running machine. The two-speed control provides a higher setting for the main blow-out and a lower setting for more controlled finishing. The manufacturer identifies applications ranging from undercoat removal to drying small dogs.

A 10-foot flexible hose, round blower tip and wide, flat blower tip are included. The hose lets the operator work around the grooming area, while the two tips provide different outlet shapes. The standard package also supplies a snap-on filter and owner's manual. A built-in 120-volt utility outlet can serve grooming accessories when the electrical supply is suitable for the combined load.

The 120-volt dryer is rated at 17 amps. Electric Cleaner Company calls for an outlet rated for at least 20 amps for this model. For units with two switches, its startup guidance is to turn on the first switch and wait three seconds before turning on the second. Confirm the electrical arrangement before setting up a grooming station.

The K-9 II can be wall mounted using the optional bracket. An optional muffler is also offered, with a heavy-duty filter required for installation. Keep intake filters clean, allow washed filters to dry before reuse and replace torn or damaged filter material. This routine helps keep hair and dander from entering the machine. The manufacturer's guarantee covers motor defects for two years and defects in other parts for 90 days, subject to its terms.
