I've had my 20v blower for a few months now. I use it for blowing out my workshop. It works great for that. I used to use my gas blower and it was heavy, smelly and would cut out when I pointed it up to the ceiling to get the cobwebs. The new electric blower is much handier. I find I use it much more and also use compressed air a lot less. The only problem I have found is that sometimes the intake will suck my shirt up to it and restrict the flow. This might be because of a larger belly causes the shirt to hang closer to the blower. Maybe you skinny folks wont have this problem.
