The Mini K-9 is a compact dog dryer for groomers who move between appointments, travel to dog shows or need equipment that is easy to put away after a grooming session. Electric Cleaner Company lists it for both professional and home grooming. Its portable format brings a flexible hose and interchangeable blower tips together in a setup intended for regular transport and storage.

Two speed settings and two temperature settings let you select the operating level for the drying task. The warmth comes from the motor as it runs; the K-9 design does not use a separate heating element. This distinction is useful when comparing controls, because the advertised temperature settings do not indicate a thermostat or an independently powered heater.

The included 10-foot flexible hose gives you working reach between the dryer and the dog. Both a round nozzle and a wide, flat blower tip are supplied, so the outlet shape can be changed during grooming. A snap-on filter and owner's manual complete the listed standard accessories.

For the 120-volt version, the manufacturer specifies a 9.5-amp draw and permits use from a standard 15-amp outlet. Check the dryer rating when preparing a mobile grooming location. A separately available 220-volt version is a different electrical configuration.

Keep the intake and filter clear of hair and dander. Inspect the filter regularly, clean it as needed during the working day, let a washed filter dry before refitting it and replace damaged filter material. The optional K-9 muffler requires the optional heavy-duty filter; neither is part of the standard contents listed here. Motor defects are covered for two years, with 90-day coverage for defects in other parts, subject to the manufacturer's warranty terms.
