When you’re drying Newfoundlands, huskies, and other dense double-coats all day, raw airflow is everything. The K-9 III delivers the most in the line, so blow-outs that drag on with a weaker dryer get done quickly.
The K-9 III is made for the toughest jobs — large, heavy-coated, and double-coated dogs, and busy shops that need speed. Home users with big fluffy dogs love it too. If you want the same power with a single adjustable dial instead of one- or two-motor control, choose the K-9 III Variable Speed.

| Built-in Outlet | 120V utility outlet for clippers |
| Air | Warmed by the motors to about 115–125°F (no heating element) |

As the most powerful K-9, the III draws 18 amps and requires a dedicated 20-amp circuit; it won’t run on a standard 15-amp GFCI outlet. Switch on one motor, count to three, then the second, to avoid a start-up amperage spike. (For standard household wiring, the K-9 I, Mini, and Fluffer run on 15 amps.)
Here’s what surprises most first-time buyers: a K-9 dryer has no heating element. The warmth you feel comes from the motors themselves as they run; unlike a human hair dryer, there’s no hot coil heating the air. It’s high-velocity airflow, not heat, that does the real work: it pushes water out of the coat and lifts loose undercoat for fast drying and easy de-shedding, while keeping hair from drifting all over your home. As with any dryer, keep the airflow moving, keep it away from the face, eyes and ears, and pause if your pet seems uncomfortable.
The K-9 line is built from fabricated metal for years of real use, and it can be wall-mounted to keep it up and out of the way in your grooming station or garage. Maintenance is simple. The manufacturer says to rinse both air-intake filters and let them dry after every use, and to replace the carbon motor brushes once 50–75% of each brush has worn away; waiting longer can damage the motor. A drop in power is a common sign the filter or brushes need attention.
Electric Cleaner Company also makes optional add-ons: the K-9 Comfort Sleeve (protects your hand and arm from a warm hose, and shields the hose from bites and scratches), a car-style Heavy Duty Filter, the K-9 Muffler (for the exhaust), a 15’ hose, and a wall-mount bracket. Ask us about availability.
Each K-9 III ships with a flexible 10’ hose, two snap-on air-intake filters, a flat blower tip, a round blower tip, and an owner’s manual. This model is 120V for U.S. outlets; Electric Cleaner Company also builds 220V versions for use outside the USA.
Yes — Electric Cleaner Company rates the K-9 III as the most powerful dryer in the K-9 line, ideal for heavy and double coats.
The side-by-side layout (versus the K-9 II’s inline design) makes carbon-brush maintenance easier and delivers the line’s top airflow.
No. The warmth comes from the motors as they run. It’s the airflow, not heat, that dries the coat.
Yes. Many cats do great with a K-9 dryer — on a dual-motor model you may only need one motor, and on a variable model simply dial the airflow down.
