I'm sorry but 80 dollars for a 11 inch piece of plastic?! That's a third of the price of the blower without the battery! I just cut my factory long tube down to the size I wanted for free. Then I'm able to spend 80.00 on other detail products

[@WEZ4136]

You couldn’t even justify the cost if they made specifically for car use like an air blade style.

[@Inpreesme]

They can keep their $6 piece of plastic that they are trying to sell for $80? Not all of us are high end sports car owners who will spend hundreds of dollars at the drop of a hat for Goodies for their precious babies

[@WEZ4136]

@@Inpreesme exactly what I was thinking, I’d rather get a £30 one with a long attachment, then cut it down and heat the nozzle so I can make a flatter end, that way I can use it like air-blade and it should take less time to dry the car again, and I still wouldn’t have spent the cost of the stubby nozzle never mind the blower itself which I’d hate to see the price of 😂🍺

I have the EGO 650. Had a etsy nozzle ($19.99) which i replaced with the new EGO that is tested here. Mainly for removal ease. The etsey was very hard to remove. Bought my new EGO stubby for $27.00 and I'm very satisfied. Use it daily.

I bought the ApexAire unit a couple years ago after the product was introduced because I hated drying my car with the long standard attachment on my Ego blower and it has served me well. I felt that it was way too expensive for what it was but I didn't have an option at the time. Now there are numerous lower-cost attachments on the market. Thanks for the video Pan.

I have the Ego 650 and it has worked great for blowing snow off my car this winter. I even brought it to work during a snow storm and my co-workers thought I was crazy. Then they said I was really smart when I cleaned my car off in seconds while they were stuck brushing, marring their paint.

I purchased the Apex Air through Obsessed Garage for my EGO blower. I am not thrilled with the performance and time required to remove water from my cars.

[@PatrickRivera-t6h]

Do you use a blower to blow dry ceramic cars a lot or tend to use a towel and just blow the door jambs, gas cap area, a little areas water tends to hide? I hear mixed reviews that blowers tend to bring on the possibility of more water spots. Torn if I should invest in an ego blower, or just a handheld blaster for small areas and carry more drying towels.

[@jlb3675]

I have used my Stihl battery blower but it has the longer attachment that is meant for leaves, it is unwieldy but does a good job. So I tend to use it only to do the wheels and grill areas. Have to see if I can get a stubby attachment for that.

In terms of form factor the stubby attachment makes a lot of sense. I used one from amazon for a few months and recently switched back to the long tube. Why?

[@nomad509]

My Apex stubby was from the first batch of 500 sold. There was quite a bit of play with the 650 so I ended up using some friction tape and it's quite difficult to remove. My only complaint is that one of the springs / metal parts on one the clips came loose last summer but I was able to pop it back in place in without much effort. Unless something breaks or becomes useless I rather doubt I will upgrade to either the latest version or Egos answer to the stubby. Blowerband is a must!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I had also received one of the first units of version 01 as I had put in my pre-order as soon as it came out (I think I was the third to sign up). I too had to put some tape around the nozzle so it wasn't as loose. Version 02 was much better, but still not perfect, but they did improve the spring too. The build quality is top notch, but the price is a bit steep now that we see the price of an EGO version.

​@@PanTheOrganizer Seeing as I am a late riser due to my job and also living out here in the Pacific Northwest, I placed my order about 4.5 hours after OG posted on social media!

To be honest, I kind of feel bad for the Apex Air owner. With the release of this EGO one, I don't see how or why you would pick the Apex Air over it. The EGO is shorter, it looks better, it's less than half the price, it fits better, and I've heard it's quieter. The owner of Apex Air had to have seen this coming when EGO inevitably came out with this. However, without Apex Air, there might not have been enough market pressure on EGO to actually come out with one. Funny how that works.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yeah I also think it was inevitable that EGO would eventually release their own version when they saw all these companies making some. EGO is not a car detailing brand, so when they released their first leaf blowers, I guess they never thought people would use them to dry their vehicles hehe.

Hi, how long do you feel the batteries last before you need to replace them? Not per use but lifetime?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I have had mine for years, and wash my car twice weekly, and use the blower all the time, and I have yet to replace them. They work like new. I have had two EGO blowers (580 and 650) but still have the same 5.0Ah batteries that I first got 5 years ago at this point if memory serves me well. Some have had theirs fail after a year, so it's hard to know exactly how long batteries can last. Same applies for any battery in any application. But EGO does have good warranties on their batteries.

Pan, hey man I recently repainted my Yukon, the clear has fully cured so my plan is to ceramic coat it. I want the best recommendable ceramic coating that’ll bead water like crazy, aswell as be super easy to air blow, what do you recommend?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

First, for a freshly repainted vehicle, wait 2 full months before applying any paint protection on it. The paint needs to finish its gassing out phase. As far as the ceramic coating, it really depends on many factors, including what you value most and what your budget is. All good coatings will provide hydrophobic properties and self-cleaning properties making the vehicle easier to clean and super easy to dry off with a blower. To see my current top recommendations, see my awards video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYPZaKmBqNqfn7Msi=i-4PrhcgdZM4L2lH

[@papi.julooooo]

@@PanTheOrganizer thanks for getting back to me Pan. I am aware of the solvents escaping clear as I am the one who resprayed the vehicle. It’s been over 90 days, the vehicle was resprayed October of last year. Anyways thats irrelevant. What coating was installed on this Porsche? I have a hard time believing Adams is one of the best coatings to this day. As I just watched the video of you washing your wife’s? Nissan Kick I think. I don’t mean to throw shade but I was not satisfied with the sheeting and beads. Like I said I really want the best for this truck since ive been having it since 2015, so money isn’t an issue. Thanks!

Hi Pan. I've been following you for 5+ years and use a standard I.C.E. (Internal Combustion Engine) blower which is pretty heavy. How much does the EGO blower weigh roughly? Thanks, from Alastair in Calgary.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Hi! The weight without the battery is 4.77 lbs (2.17 kg) and the 5.0Ah battery that I use weighs 4.8 lbs (2.18 kg). Welcome to my channel.

[@olenronning]

I’ve heard that the 650 is a lot louder than either the 580 before or the newer 765. I’m curious if you’ve noticed a difference? I want to pick one up but want the quietest version.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I haven’t noticed a huge difference between my previous 580 and my new 650 other than a slightly higher pitch on the 650. I haven’t tested the 765 yet. Regardless of which blower you get, always wear ear protection. So that negates any small differences between blowers anyways. ;)

[@olenronning]

@@PanTheOrganizer yeah, it was the higher pitch being the issue I think. Agree, ear protection is important regardless. I also see that now there is a 670cfm model which I think is replacing the 650.

[@paulattanasio3061]

A blower or a drying towel? Why or when would you use one over the other?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

If you have some sort of paint protection on the paint (wax, sealant or coating), using a blower is the best option as it's the quickest, and it's 100% touchless so zero potential of marring the paint. But a good blower is expensive. If your car has zero protection, a blower isn't good because you need the hydrophobic properties of waxes or coatings to get the water to fly off when blown. Zero protection means the water "sticks" and pools on the paint, and is harder to blow off, so a blower isn't efficient in that scenario. A microfiber drying towel is the less costly option, but more time consuming. And to avoid marring as much as possible, always use a drying aid as a lubricant between the towel and paint.

[@jweidenaar]

Ryobi recently came out with a 220 CFM blower that includes a stubby attachment. It looks adequate to dry the car and the most maneuverable at only $99 for the tool only a great value. The Apex Air at $80 plus tax with the blower band is way overpriced. The ergonomics are better for drying the car than the Ego as well with the handle being more vertical (better for the roof). Looks like this will replace my Metro Vac and Ego blower as my main car dryer.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Are you referring to the little 18V One+ compact 220 CFM portable cordless one? It's not available in Canada yet, so I haven't been able to test it. But I doubt it will replace a much more powerful EGO blower. I have seen it in a few videos and although it can do a decent job, I think it's more budget oriented for those who don't want to spend the bigger bucks to get an EGO. It just doesn't have the power or CFM of a bigger blower, that is undeniable. But is it fun and practical and cool? Sure! :) If I can get my hands on one, I'll test it.

[@jweidenaar]

@@PanTheOrganizer Yes, I just picked one up today to test it out. My truck has a ceramic coated PPF so it may be all I need and much less cumbersome than my Master Blaster or Ego blower. AND, it gives you a reason to make another video!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

👍🏻 Keep me posted to see if it wors to your expectations.

[@jweidenaar]

I’ve had adequate time to use the Ryobi 220CFM. It performs exactly how you would expect for the power. If you’re in the Ryobi ecosystem I’d recommend it as a convenient supplement to a Master Blaster or EGO, not a replacement. I love the trigger lock feature and ergonomics and will use it regularly. If I was on a budget it would be a good starter blower/dryer, however, it depletes a 4.0 battery with one use.

[@walter.bellini]

Interested in knowing if you take off the top cone from the ApexAire and put the green band would it match the height of the Ego Short? Didn’t see link to the green band on your listing Thank you

[@beesoffury]

I’ve got the V1 of the Apex Air so figure it’s similar. You could take off the tip, and it will be shorter, but the problem is the diameter of the nozzle without the tip is now different, which makes it incompatible with the blower band (that green thing). It’s also a hard plastic, so this is a no-go in my book. IMO, I see no reason to get the AA over the official Ego version, especially when the official one is less than half the price. TBH, I used my AA for about a month, then just ended up 3d printing one out of PETG. It’s definitely jankier from a finish quality, however, the fit on my particular blower is perfect. I didn’t care for how loose the AA was. It never came off in operation, but I still didn’t care for it.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I know it sounds crazy but the options i live in the isolated east of Canada and selection here for anything you buy is very very poor and also overly expensive. Besides looking foolish would it be just as effective if i use a leaf blower lol. They are alot cheaper
