Bigboi vs Blahst

Bigboi is the brand that rocks up with a whole detailing pit crew, while Blahst is the neat mate who turns up with one very dialled-in wall setup and a “let’s just get this done” attitude. Both are solid, both are proper car-care focused, but one gives you a full menu of toys and the other gives you a short, sharp, curated list that’s easy to live with.

Let’s set the scene the same way you’d tackle a messy garage, drag it all out on the driveway and see what you’re actually dealing with.

• Bigboi: blowers, pressure washers, wet/dry vacuums, de-ioniser filtration, full kits, wall-mount options, the whole lot designed for enthusiasts and pro detailers.

• Blahst: a tight little line-up, two pressure washers, one wall-mounted vacuum and one blower/air dryer aimed at giving you a tidy car-wash bay without overthinking it.

If you like choice and tweaking your setup, Bigboi is like walking into a tool shop with a fresh credit card. If you want it simple, clean and matching on the wall, Blahst is more grab-and-go.

Alright, time to empty the Bigboi “shelves”. 

Bigboi’s blowers are basically leaf blowers that went to finishing school. You’ve got multiple options, not just one:

• BlowR BUDDI: compact unit for bikes, badges and tight crevices, great for weekend washers who don’t want a huge unit permanently living in the corner.

• BlowR MINI / MINI+: step-ups for full car drying with more airflow and reach, aimed at home detailers who want touchless drying without going full industrial.

• BlowR PRO MKII / PRO+ MKII: twin-motor units with serious airflow, HEPA-filtered and heated air, wall-mount options and remote control on higher models.

• BlowR CHARGD: cordless dryer for mobile work or quick spot drying, built with turbine fan tech in a compact body.

• Bigboi uses a temperature bump, roughly 20 °C above ambient, to speed evaporation without cooking paint, which makes a big difference on dark cars in winter.

• You can choose by vehicle and use-case (bike, weekend hero, pro detailer, mobile) rather than “one dryer fits all and hope for the best.”

Now into the WashR stuff, this is where Bigboi quietly has way more going on than most people realise.

You’ve got multiple options here too, just like BlowR and SuckR, rather than one lonely unit doing all the heavy lifting.

• WashR FLO – Compact, enthusiast-focused electric pressure washer that’s a huge step up from a Bunnings special, with proper detailing performance in a smaller, quieter package. It’s built around an induction motor with smart features like Total Stop System, making it ideal for weekend warriors who still want pro-feeling gear.

• WashR QUAD – The “bridge” between consumer and commercial gear, running Quad Pump Technology for smoother operation and better efficiency. It’s light and compact enough for home garages or mobile work, but punches hard enough to feel like serious equipment.

• WashR DUO – A semi-professional unit aimed at serious enthusiasts and working detailers, with a fully serviceable design so you can maintain it long-term rather than treating it as a disposable box. Think higher flow, quieter operation and reliability that suits regular, paid work.

• WashR PRO / PRO MKII – The big dog in the lineup, built around a commercial-duty pump and high flow (around 9.5 LPM) for fast, controlled rinsing on regular and coated vehicles. PRO MKII kits pair the unit with hoses, guns and accessories, giving you a near turn-key detailer’s wash bay in one hit.

• WashR TRADIE (brand new) – The latest addition aimed squarely at mobile detailers and anyone who wants pro power without dragging around a battleship. It’s designed as a semi-professional, high-performance pressure washer that can run from standard power, with specs optimised for Aussie mobile work (with pre-orders now open and “tradie” in name and attitude).

Bigboi is not “washer and blower only”, they also have vacs and these things suck. The SuckR range includes:

• SuckR Mini+: commercial-grade wet/dry vac with a 1400 W motor, 24 kPa suction, HEPA filter and remote control – perfect for serious home users and mobile detailers.

• SuckR Pro MKII: more power at 1600 W, 22 kPa suction, still wet/dry with HEPA and remote, aimed at pro-level interior cleaning.

• SuckR Pro+ Portable Wheelbase Set: Dual 1200-watt motor, 22 kPa suction, wet/dry, mounted on a wheelbase with a 5 m hose for mobile and shop flexibility.

• SuckR Pro+ Wall Mounted Set: same dual-motor heart but wall-mountable, with a 10m hose on a reel, built for permanent garage installs.

So in vacuums alone you’ve got:

• Small, big, twin-motor

• Portable or wall-mount

• Different hose lengths and setups depending on whether you’re in a tight single garage or a commercial shop.

Add in the D-IONIZR water filtration systems and full detailing kits and the Bigboi range genuinely covers wash, rinse, dry, vac and water management with multiple choices in every category.

Now, same treatment for Blahst: pull it out in the “driveway” and count what’s actually there. Blahst keeps things deliberate and lean:

• Two pressure washers, with the R18 and the R30 being the headline wall-mount unit, pushing up to 2600 PSI max and about 2300 PSI working pressure, with a 30 m auto-retracting hose.

• K21 wall-mounted vacuum, designed to sit on the wall of the garage, with a long hose so you can work the car without dragging a drum vac around.

• Air Maxx wall-mounted blower / dryer, to match the pressure washer and vac so everything lines up neatly and runs from the same patch of wall.

• Wall-mounted, fixed installations that feel like a permanent “car wash bay” in the garage rather than a pile of machines on the floor.

• Long, retractable hose runs so you can walk around the car without constantly moving the base unit or untangling cables.

• A very simple product story: you basically pick “do I want the Blahst wall setup or not?”, there aren’t 30 sub-variants to think about.

So while Bigboi is the big catalogue, Blahst is more “this is the system, plug it in and get on with it". Think of this when zoning your garage, washers, vacs and blowers all in one area and off the floor to keep it in it zoned.
