Well worth it. I have two. Gets almost all the water off. You can finish with a small hand towel.

I got the extra one when Lilpooky started helping with the maintenance/care of Greenzilla. With both of us doing it, we dry the car in under 2 minutes.

I love mine had it about 2 1/2 years. I use it for everything.
Like removing snow in the winter. And it the best in the winter
when you wash your car you only have a few minutes to dry it.
My girl thinks I'm crazy to wash my car in 30* weather.
Got to keep her clean! The blade cost about $16 - $20 here.
