Your waitlist is not a local accident. It is what the whole US market looks like right now.
US pet spending reached $158B in 2025 and is heading for $165B in 2026 (APPA). The demand is not your problem. Your drying time is.
You don’t sell washes. You sell appointment slots — and drying eats them.
Salons buy back hours, not washes. Here is one groomer's day with the drying cabinet doing the long half.
A groom is about 15 minutes of washing and 30 or more of drying. The cabinet takes the long half and runs it in parallel, so the queue moves at roughly twice the speed with the staff you already pay.
A bather is a wage every month for as long as they stay, and they still dry by hand. The cabinet is bought once and dries every dog the same way on every shift.
The Tub runs timed soak and bath programs — about 60 minutes for a large dog, 30 for a small one. You set the on-screen packages and prices yourself, so a deep-clean soak sits above a standard bath on your menu.
Self-serve wash-and-dry sells for roughly $15–$20 in the US. Every dog needs a bath every 4–6 weeks, so the client who cannot get a grooming slot still spends — and joins your waitlist.
Repetitive strain from bathing and blow-drying is the industry's open secret. Hands that only do skilled work take fewer weeks off, and your schedule keeps its capacity.
Example only, not a promise — swap in your own groom price and daily count. Published operator data puts running cost at $0.45–$3.50 per wash. Payback depends on your pricing, hours, and local utility rates.
Three ways to fix the same problem. Only one of them stops costing you money after you buy it.

A bather rents you throughput. A plain tub buys you a place to put the dog. Only the third one takes the work away permanently.
Salons work in different ways, so the right machine differs. Most pick the Tub, because a groomer stays hands-on in the water. If you would rather the whole wash ran itself, the automatic cabins do that, and the Max does both.

A groomer's value sits in the finish, not the rinse. The Max is our flagship and the only model that's automatic and manual at once. One bay runs a full wash and dry with nobody watching. The other holds a steady-temperature water gun and dryer, so your stylist can take a difficult coat by hand while the first bay keeps going.

0.5 m², normal socket, cat-safe — no perfume sprays (they harm cats), yet the gentle shampoo leaves a light fresh scent.

Weatherproof steel rated -10 C to 55 C, so it can stand in the yard or under an awning. Walk-ins wash their own dog outside while your table stays booked for paid grooms.
See the Pro →The Tub is our only model with soak. It is also the only line on your menu a plain tub cannot print.
The Tub runs soak and bath programs on a timer — about 60 minutes for a large dog, 30 for a small one. Your groomer starts it and walks to the next appointment instead of standing over the basin.
60 min large · 30 min smallPre-rinse, shower gel, rinse, shampoo, rinse, conditioner, final rinse, then drying. Water holds at 38 °C ±2 °C under PID control and the bath water is hydrogen-rich, so results do not change with whoever is on shift.

≤65 dB dryingOzone and anion, infrared, and UV-C run for 4 minutes automatically after every wash, killing 99.9% of germs. Hair and waste water are extracted inside the machine first, so the cycle works on a clean surface — not on someone's rushed wipe-down.
4 min · after every petUnder two meters of wall, the water and power you already have, and the paperwork your insurer will ask for.
Hair and waste water are collected inside the machine every cycle, which answers most local wastewater questions before they start. Cat and small-breed studios can go smaller: the Mini is 700 × 650 mm and runs off a normal wall socket at 1870 W.
You don’t have to worry about compliance. Every machine already meets CE, LVD, EMC, and RoHS standards, and we hand you the documents you need for customs, insurance, or your property manager.
CE is the EU’s official conformity mark, and we include the certificates with your order for customs, insurers, and property managers.
LVD stands for the EU Low Voltage Directive, the electrical safety test that CE certification is built on.
It means the machine won’t cause electromagnetic interference with payment terminals or nearby equipment.
RoHS compliant means the machine is free of restricted hazardous substances, so it’s safe to import and operate.

What salon owners ask before adding one.
No — it replaces their least-skilled hour. Washing and drying are the physical, low-margin part of every groom. The machine does those; your groomers do the scissor work, the styling, and the difficult coats that justify your prices.
A groom is typically 15 minutes of washing and 30+ of drying. With the Tub, the dryer cabinet runs while your groomer washes the next dog — the queue moves roughly twice as fast with the same staff. Even one extra $60 groom a day is about $1,500 a month in new bookings, which puts typical payback at 6–24 months.
Sensors monitor the pet, air is capped with an automatic cutoff at 42 °C, and there’s a physical stop button. Your groomer works one step away the whole time — it’s supervised, just not hands-on. With all that in the way, an injury would take several of these systems failing at once.
Noise is the main stress source in a salon, and a hand-held force dryer runs past 100 dB. Our drying cabinet stays at 65 dB or below, so the pet dries without the roar and every other animal in the room stays calmer too. The water holds at 38 °C, and the pet is left alone in the cabinet rather than held down. We also skip perfume and essential-oil sprays, because they harm cats' livers and kidneys, and the gentle animal-friendly shampoo leaves a light fresh scent of its own. Pets come out calm, healthy and smelling clean.
Twenty-five business days to build, then shipping. Salons often time delivery for a quiet week, since the machine needs a morning to plumb in rather than a shutdown.
Clogged drains are the number-one failure operators report with open dog-wash tubs, and it is designed out here. Hair and waste water are collected inside the machine on every cycle, before anything reaches your drain line. Your closing job is emptying an internal collection, not snaking a pipe.
The machine does. After every single wash it runs a 4-minute disinfection cycle — ozone and anion, infrared, and UV-C — which kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses in the cabin. The hair and waste water are pulled out first, so nothing is left for the next pet.
No wet-room build. The Tub is 1960 × 630 mm and 1800 mm high, so it takes under two meters of wall. It needs water at 0.1–0.5 MPa, a drain, and 220 V 50 Hz power — 3200 W running, 4000 W during a bath, and built for either 220–240 V or 110–120 V. Each wash uses 2–2.5 kWh and 0.09–0.11 m³ of water. Because hair and waste water are collected internally, most wastewater questions answer themselves, and we supply the spec sheets plus CE (LVD + EMC) and RoHS certificates for customs, your insurer, and your landlord.
A tub package looks cheaper until you price what has to go around it: the wet room, the waterproofing, the floor drain, and a member of staff scrubbing it after every wash. All of that is already inside this cabinet. As for our own figure: we build the machines, so no distributor is paid along the way, and order size moves the number most. Tell us your country and how many you need, and you'll have a quote within 24 hours.
