It’s the same beloved K-9 II platform, now with infinite speed instead of two fixed settings. That makes it the most versatile choice for groomers who handle a wide range of breeds, ages, and temperaments in a single day.
Variable speed shines when no two dogs on your table are alike — senior dogs and small pups at low CFM, thick-coated breeds at full power. It’s a professional 20-amp dryer, so for small-dog-only homes a single-motor portable may be enough; for raw power on heavy coats, the K-9 III Variable is the most powerful.

|---|---|
| Power | 17 amps @ 120V |
| Outlet | Requires a dedicated 20-amp circuit |
| Speed Control | Variable, 0–240 CFM |
| Air | Warm, never hot (no heating element) |
| Body | Fabricated metal; Metal Purple or Metal Blue |
| Made In | USA by Electric Cleaner Company |
| Warranty | 2 years on motors; 90 days parts/labor |
The K-9 II Variable draws 17 amps and requires a dedicated 20-amp circuit — it’s not made for a standard 15-amp GFCI outlet. Start it at a low setting and ease the knob up to avoid an amperage spike. If you need a dryer for ordinary household wiring, the K-9 I, Mini, and Fluffer all run on 15 amps.
Here’s what surprises most first-time buyers: a K-9 dryer has no heating element. The gentle warmth you feel comes from the motors themselves as they run, so the air is warm but never scorching — the temperature is naturally moderated to protect your dog’s skin and coat. 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. Because there’s no hot element, there’s no risk of overheating or singeing, even on long sessions.
Cheap plastic dryers overheat, melt, and fail within months. The K-9 line is built from fabricated metal to survive 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: rinse or vacuum the filter regularly (more often in a busy shop), and replace the carbon motor brushes roughly every 9–12 months under heavy daily use. If you ever notice reduced power, extra heat, or black soot from the hose, that’s your cue the brushes need changing.
Want it even quieter or more comfortable? Optional add-ons include 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 lower noise, a 15’ hose, and a wall-mount bracket.
Each K-9 II Variable ships with a flexible 10’ hose, a snap-on air-intake filter, a flat blower tip, a round blower tip, and an owner’s manual. Plus worldwide compatibility: a 220V version is available outside the USA, and the line is CSA, CE, and Australian approved.
CFM is cubic feet of air per minute — the volume of airflow. A full range from 0 to 240 lets you fine-tune from a whisper-soft breeze to a powerful blast for any coat.
Yes — a dedicated 20-amp circuit, like all dual-motor K-9 dryers.
No. The warmth comes from the motors as they run, so the air is warm but never hot — coat-safe by design.
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.
