    This blower is very powerful I use it in a commercial setting to clean the floor from grain and dust strewn about. I notice the blower whole system seems a little fragile but I love it every time I turn it on to clean the floor. After one year of use it seems to not work anymore not sure what is the problem will try fix the issue maybe is brushes maybe the switch.

    + PROS: Lots of oomph
    - CONS: The fragile body and components for commercial use.
