What are the ones from Asia? I'd never order a machine from there but a drying system......maybe
I’m not sure if there are any from Asia that might be good equal, but I know that would be way cheaper. Just wanted to know if anybody here has bought any from Asia

As much as I personally hate buying anything Chinese, as I believe they are our enemy and adversary it's hard to escape their manufacturing power.
I priced a 10 hp producer with the plastic mammoth attachment and I believe it was $350 per motor. You could roughly buy 10 of them for what a Sonny's motor would run.
IDC black widow dryers are the top of the line dryers in the market. after NCS acquired IDC, the black widow dryers are their flagship dryer line up after years of tech 21s.
having said that, you don't need such fancy top of the line (expensive) dryers. tech 21s have been in the industry for a long time, motorcity one's air one dryers, sonnys, they are all good choices.

I don't know if things have improved but I was never happy with 10HP dryers. I inherited a place with some and replaced with 15HP.

15hp are $500-$600/ea
That is just stupid. 17k for a 10HP producer. It's a motor, housing, and imprellor. When a motor goes bad then what is it 10K to replace it? The manufacture should include a lifetime supply of lube for the A$$ F***king there giving the customer.
Roughly 25K with Premier will get you 6 - 15HP blowers. Save you 78k that can be better spent elsewhere. Literally anywhere else.
This is like when girls buy a regular purse for $100 but some buy Gucci for $5000. At the end of the day a purse is a purse. Only difference is girls know about name brands but your car wash customers dont have a clue what a "black widow" dryer is and wont care as long the dryers you have work.
