Meet the Hedgehog JET: The Most Powerful Wireless, Handheld Blower Yet, Delivering 162 MPH of Wind Power in an Ultralight, Travel-Ready Design

  

HEMSEDAL, NORWAY, and NEW YORK – August 20, 2025 – Hedgehog Dryer, creators of Scandinavian-designed tools built to solve problems and fuel adventures, today announced the launch of the most powerful cordless ultralight blower: the Hedgehog JET. This ultra-compact cordless blower delivers an incredible 162 mph of wind power, stronger than most full-size leaf blowers, in a device that fits in your glovebox or kitchen drawer.

Designed for serious performance both indoors and out, the Hedgehog JET replaces bulky garage tools and one-use gadgets with a compact, rechargeable blower powered by a 500-watt motor and six high-capacity battery cells. It weighs just 1.5 pounds, charges via USB-C, and delivers up to 45 minutes of runtime on a single charge. With four adjustable speed settings that range from a focused low-flow to a full-power blast, the Hedgehog JET gives users precise control for everything from drying delicate gear to clearing heavy debris. At the core of its performance is a patented turbine design that delivers jet-engine-level force in a compact, travel-ready form. 

One Ultra-Compact Powerhouse for Outdoor Adventures

Built for campers, hikers, and anyone who loves spending time outside, the Hedgehog JET is a pocket-sized powerhouse that handles the wild just as easily as the backyard. It clears pine needles, leaves, and debris from campsites and trailheads, dries off wet boots and tents after a rainy hike, and blows sand or dirt off coolers, chairs, sleeping bags, and backpacks. After a long day by the lake, it’s perfect for drying paddleboards, bikes, or kayaks before packing up. It can gently stoke a fire pit or charcoal grill, and even clear gravel from driveways or cabin paths. On RV trips, it’s an easy way to remove cobwebs and bugs from awnings before hitting the road again. With extreme wind force and total portability, the Hedgehog JET is the new essential for anyone who makes the most of the outdoors.

“Our family lives for the outdoors, and we wanted tools that help us get out the door faster and focus on the adventure, not worrying about the mess that follows,” said Bjørn Holte, founder of Hedgehog Dryer. “With the Hedgehog JET, we’re continuing to grow a lineup of innovative products that solve everyday problems using smart, patented technology. Our goal is to create compact, travel-ready tools that keep up with real life, whether you're chasing kids, chasing trails, or just trying to keep the garage clean.”

The Mighty Blower for Busy Homes

The Hedgehog JET isn’t just for the great outdoors; it’s built to handle the chaos of everyday life at home, too. For busy families, DIYers, and weekend hosts, the Hedgehog JET quickly clears patios, porches, and outdoor furniture before guests arrive. Use it to dry off cars, bikes, and strollers after washing or on a rainy day, or to clear dust and debris from the trunk or hard-to-reach corners in the garage. In colder months, it’s great for blowing light snow off steps and walkways, or blasting out gutters and roof corners between full cleanings. And after DIY projects or yardwork, the Hedgehog JET handles mulch scraps, grass clippings, and sawdust with ease.

 The Hedgehog JET will be available for $299 at us.hedgehogdryer.com and on Amazon. It comes equipped with a brushless 80,000 RPM motor, 4-speed control, a durable steel casing, and fast-charging USB Type-C compatibility. A two-year warranty is included. 

The Hedgehog JET joins Hedgehog Dryer’s growing family of high-performance products, from the compact TurboVAC to the brand’s award-winning gear dryers, Buddy, Hanger, Wall, and Octopus, all designed to meet the needs of modern families, outdoor lovers, and people who want powerful tools without the clutter.

A Brand Born from Real Life

Hedgehog Dryer was founded by Bjørn Holte, a father who created the brand out of necessity. After relocating from New York City to snowy Hemsedal, Norway, following the sudden loss of his wife to cancer, Bjørn found himself solo parenting three small children (then ages 1, 3, and 5) – with wet boots, soggy mittens, and everyday messes piling up. Frustrated by the lack of fast, functional gear dryers and portable cleaning tools, he built what he couldn’t find: a brand focused on smart, practical solutions for modern, active households.
