Description
xThe METROVAC AFTD-3 Air Force Commander in Purple is a trusted workhorse for professional groomers and dedicated pet owners. With more than 30 years in grooming, this high-velocity dryer blends power and reliability without relying on heat, helping coats dry faster while keeping pets comfortable.
Powered by a robust 4.0 HP motor, the AFTD-3 blasts water from fur and accelerates drying time by up to 75 percent in many grooming workflows. Because it uses high-velocity air rather than heat, it helps avoid overheating sensitive areas while still delivering efficient results. This makes it suitable for all breeds, from sleek terriers to dense coats, and for both deshedding and styling tasks.
Two-speed versatility for tailored grooming
Switch between a gentle, low-velocity breeze for finishing touches or a high-velocity setting for rapid drying and deshedding. The two-speed system gives you control over the environment you create in the grooming space, letting you match airflow to coat type and pet temperament.
Rugged build, reliable performance
Built with an all-steel frame in the USA, the Commander is designed for daily professional use as well as home grooming setups. The durable construction stands up to busy salons, mobile grooming setups, and at-home routines, ensuring long-term value.
Its lightweight design and dual-positioning legs add flexible use: you can stand it vertically for compact storage or lay it horizontally to fit under grooming tables or in small spaces. A 6-foot hose, air concentrator, air flare tool, and groomer rake are included to support a complete grooming workflow from wash to finish.
