DSMITH Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 been thinking about purchasing a dry washer and seen the whippet dry washer on another site was curious if anyone has any experience with the Whippet Drywasher looks like it would be a pretty light little unit thanks for any and all input on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSMITH Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Well let me try a different way have also been looking at the Thompson 12 volt model and the Keene which would people suggest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Herschbach Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I like everything about the Whippet except the price - $1395 for a 15 lb unit. Odd they have none on hand, apparently built to order. Looks like a nice little but I have seen the little Keene mini drywasher in action and it worked great, and for far less money. And you know you will always be able to get parts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for replying Mr H the the price of the Whippet is whats holding me up on it so I am now trying to decide between the Thompson or the Keene My problem is the area I want to use one you almost have to be a mountain goat to get there and the weight of the Whippet with the battery is what was appealing to me I also do not like the fact its a 4-6 month wait for delivery of the Whippet the Keene I think is heavier than the Thompson but I have read nothing but good on both so far am looking at the 12 volt models again thank you for your reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 When it comes to weight I guess with the Whippet it is a case of paying for what you are not getting. Still, $250 deposit and wait for months? You basically are just hiring somebody to make you a drywasher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSMITH Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 am just going to narrow it down between the Thompson or the Keene just can not justify the triple amount price for the whippet over the other two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Not sure if you made your decision yet, but I had a Keene 12 volt "puffer" dry washer. It worked good, but it is heavy and setting it up is somewhat awkward. If you are going to be packing your drywasher for any distance I would get the Thompson. I have read many good reviews of the Thompson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
