No more expensive canned air, not a weenie rechargeable unit that has plastic parts that come apart inside. Long power cord, attachments actually fit properly and are useful. Big time power - careful where you aim it :) The only thing that I don't really like is the flexible wand - it's really flexible and if you're not careful the stem swings around wildly - but it is perfect to stick into hard to reach places. And a bonus - a micro vacuum attachment kit that I purchased here is useable on the blower and adds more attachments as well as an almost three foot long flexible hose. Sure it's noisy - if you want power in something quiet you'll need bulky soundproofing and it would be the size of your house vac. A little heavier than I expected but that's no doubt because of the HIGH QUALITY build - and it's got a great warranty as well. With the flexible hose extension from my micro vacuuming kit you can put the can down (not a dead man's switch) and blow away. They do have two flexible hoses available in three foot and 6 foot lengths. If you use more than 5 large cans of air a year, this unit will replace them - and should work for years to come. Five year warranty on the motor. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
