Powr-Flite PDH2 Deluxe Hybrid Carpet Dryer – 3400 FPM, 4-Position
Powr-Flite PDH2 Deluxe Hybrid Carpet Dryer: 4-Position, Daisy-Chain Ready
The PDH2 is the deluxe configuration of Powr-Flite's hybrid carpet dryer line. It delivers the same 3400 FPM from a 0.4 HP, 3-speed motor as the PDH1 but adds a kickstand and side shoe that unlock 4 operating positions — flat floor, side-wall drying, angled up, and elevated — plus built-in daisy-chain outlets rated for up to 4 units on a single 15-amp circuit.

Structural Drying with 4-Position Flexibility
The PDH2's kickstand props the unit at an angle so airflow penetrates wall cavities and carpet edges without operator intervention. The side shoe rotates the unit upright for direct floor-surface drying under furniture legs and along tight corners. These two accessories transform a single machine into a multi-orientation tool, reducing the number of units a restoration team needs to stage. The built-in daisy-chain outlets — rated for 4 units — mean four PDH2s can run from one wall outlet at a combined 11.2 amps, safely within 15-amp circuit limits.
PDH2 vs. PDH1 — Choosing the Right Hybrid Dryer
The PDH1 and PDH2 share identical airflow (3400 FPM), motor (0.4 HP, 3-speed), weight (18 lbs), and dimensions (11.5" height). The PDH2 Deluxe justifies its premium with the kickstand and side shoe for 4 operating positions and integrated daisy-chain outlets. If the job is straightforward carpet drying where all units will stay flat on the floor, the PDH1 delivers identical performance at a lower price. For complex water loss jobs with wall cavities and limited circuits, the PDH2 earns back its cost in reduced setup time and fewer extension cords.
