Let me tell you, this little powerhouse surprised me! The Lasko BlueDri looks compact and unassuming, but don't let its size fool you - it moves serious air. I've been using it to dry my basement after some plumbing issues, and it outperforms my old box fan by miles.

The multi-angle positioning is genius. I've used it at 90° to dry walls, 45° for floor corners, and flat for general circulation. That roto-molded housing takes accidental bumps like a champ - mine's survived several tumbles off shelves already!

Noise level? On low it's quieter than my refrigerator hum. High speed gets loud (think hair dryer volume), but when you need fast drying, that's the trade-off. The cord wrap handle makes storage neat, though I wish the power button cover was more durable - mine cracked after a few months.

Watch the wobble! Like other reviewers noticed, the cylindrical blower can make it dance on uneven surfaces. I solved this by placing it on a rubber mat. Also confirmed the higher amp draw (about 1.5A) so don't overload your circuit.

For $50? Absolute steal compared to industrial dryers. Whether you're drying carpets (asthma parents take note!), preventing garage floods, or even doing DIY smoke extraction (props to the Spanish reviewer for that hack!), this delivers pro results in a portable package.
