Compare Bigboi BlowR Dryers: Which Touchless Car Dryer Is Right For You?
Mini, Mini+, Pro MKII and Pro+ MKII compared side by side, so you buy the right one the first time.
The short version: the Mini is the affordable single-motor entry point for occasional home use. The Mini+ is the cheapest twin-motor step-up, roughly doubling the airflow for a modest price jump. The Pro MKII and Pro+ MKII are the professional-grade units with a longer 9m hose and a wheelbase included — the Pro+ adds a wireless remote on top. If you're drying a car at home a few times a month, the Mini or Mini+ will comfortably cover it. If you're drying cars back-to-back for clients, the Pro MKII or Pro+ MKII is built for that pace.
Not Sure Which One To Buy?
- Buy the Mini if you wash occasionally and want the most affordable touchless dryer in the range.
- Buy the Mini+ if you want twin-motor airflow and faster drying without paying professional prices.
- Buy the Pro MKII if you detail frequently or professionally and need a longer hose and wheelbase.
- Buy the Pro+ MKII if you want the same Pro MKII performance plus wireless remote control.
Why A Touchless Dryer At All?
Most wash-induced swirl marks actually happen during drying, not washing. Dust and grit trapped in a towel or chamois get dragged straight across the paint, and the edges of the towel can mark panels as it's whipped back and forth. A Bigboi BlowR replaces the towel entirely — heated, filtered air chases water out of badges, mirror housings, wheel spokes, door jambs and engine bays without anything touching the surface.

All four models use BigBoi Temperature Technology (BTT) for heated, filtered air, and all ship with interchangeable lockable nozzles and a washable foam filter.

¹ Bigboi publishes airflow differently across its own range: the Mini and Mini+ are rated in ft/min, while the Pro MKII and Pro+ MKII are rated in km/h. These are different measurements taken by Bigboi at different points in the airflow path, so the figures cannot be directly converted or compared like-for-like — each is shown exactly as Bigboi publishes it for that model.
Model By Model
Bigboi BlowR Mini
The affordable entry point. A single 1400W motor pushing 29,600 ft/min of heated, filtered air through a 5m hose. Slower on bigger cars than the twin-motor models, but a genuine upgrade over a towel for anyone washing occasionally.

Shop BlowR Mini+Bigboi BlowR Pro MKII

What's the difference between the Mini and Mini+?
The Mini runs a single 1400W motor at 29,600 ft/min airflow. The Mini+ runs twin 1400W motors at 58,600 ft/min — roughly double the airflow — for a modest step up in price. If you're drying more than one car a week or want noticeably faster results, the Mini+ is worth the difference.
What's the difference between the Pro MKII and Pro+ MKII?
Both run twin 1600W motors with airflow up to 450km/h, a 9m commercial hose and a wheelbase. The Pro+ MKII adds a wireless remote control, which is the main reason it sits at a higher price point.
Which Bigboi blower is quietest?
The Mini is the quietest on paper at Low 73 / High 79 dB. The Mini+ and Pro+ MKII both run Low 75 / High 81 dB. Noise figures for the Pro MKII aren't published.
Can I wall mount a Bigboi blower?
Yes on all four, though the setup differs. The Mini and Mini+ take an optional wall mount accessory sold separately. The Pro MKII and Pro+ MKII ship with a wheelbase included, which some workshops still fix to a wall bracket for a permanent setup.
Do I need the 9m hose or is 5m enough?
The Mini and Mini+ ship with a 5m hose, which is enough for most single-bay setups if you can walk around the car. The Pro MKII and Pro+ MKII ship with 9m as standard. A 9m hose is also available separately for the Mini and Mini+ if you need the extra reach without moving the unit.
Which Bigboi blower should a professional detailer buy?
The Pro MKII or Pro+ MKII. Both are built for daily use with twin 1600W motors, a 9m commercial hose and a wheelbase. Choose the Pro+ MKII if you want the wireless remote; otherwise the Pro MKII covers the same performance for less.
Our Recommendation
For occasional home drying, the BlowR Mini is the most affordable entry point into touchless drying. If you want noticeably faster drying times and wash regularly, the Mini+ offers a significant increase in airflow without stepping into professional pricing.
For professional detailers, detailing studios and enthusiasts looking for maximum performance, the Pro MKII and Pro+ MKII deliver greater airflow, a longer hose and easier movement around larger vehicles. Choose the Pro+ MKII if wireless remote control is important to your workflow; otherwise the Pro MKII delivers the same core drying performance.
