The Metro Air Force Cagemaster Plus is the safest way to cage dry your dogs. The powerful 4.0 peak horsepower motor generates a high volume of warm air (see specs table) but even more important the six foot drying hose is extra large in diameter, a full 2 1/2" so it can carry a gale force air into cages. And because there is no heating element (often found on other cage dryers), CageMaster Plus won't overheat or dehydrate your dog. There's no hot air to injure a dog's scalp or coat.

CageMaster Plus is constructed of durable steel, so it can take all the punishment you dish out. Just hook it onto the cage and it does all the work.

BONUS: It's a forced air dryer too. CageMaster Plus easily converts into a forced air dryer, for all your drying needs. Its powerful motor and 6 ft x 1 1/4" diameter hose delivers a high velocity air stream that blows water quickly off the thickest wettest coats cutting down on grooming time by a much as two thirds.

Why Metrovac?

Blows Water Out — Doesn't Just Dry It

Metrovac doesn't evaporate the coat dry — it blows the water out. That's a real difference. Drying times drop dramatically, and your hands stay on the dog instead of holding a dryer forever.

American-Made Since 1954

Made in the USA for over 70 years. These dryers run all day in the busiest salons without skipping a beat. That's not marketing — that's decades of groomers running them back to back.

High Power, Low Noise

High-velocity airflow without the jet-engine noise. Dogs that tense up around other dryers tend to handle Metrovac a lot better. Your ears will appreciate it too.

Common Questions

Metrovac dryers are American-made with commercial-grade motors that produce high CFM airflow at lower operating noise than most competitors. They're designed to run continuously through a full day of professional grooming without overheating or losing power.
With basic maintenance, Metrovac dryers routinely last 10–20 years in professional salon use. The commercial-grade American-made motor is the defining factor that separates Metrovac from imported alternatives at lower price points.
Yes — Metrovac dryers operate at measurably lower decibel levels than most high-velocity competitors, making them a better choice for anxious or noise-reactive dogs. Pair with a diffuser nozzle for the gentlest possible airflow.
The Air Force Commander is a handheld pistol-grip dryer ideal for mobile groomers and smaller dogs. The Metropolitan is a two-speed unit designed for stand or wall mounting in high-volume fixed salon environments.
Yes — while Metrovac dryers are professional tools, many pet parents use them at home on large or heavy-coated breeds. The high-velocity airflow eliminates extended blow-drying time and reduces heat damage to the coat.

Helpful for senior dogs and dogs that need breaks

Some pets can’t stand on a table for long. Letting them rest in the kennel while drying has been a big improvement for comfort.

Keeps the grooming area calmer

When dogs can dry in the kennel, the shop feels less chaotic. Less wrestling with handheld drying and fewer stressed pets.
