I used it often, but only a couple times as a blower.  Apparently, the device is not designed to be a blower, because each time you move it, you have to fight the gyroscopic action of the spinning elements.  This put too much strain on the bearings, and the impeller started rubbing on the plastic case.  It took no time to burn out the motor.  (Too bad I couldn't find a replacement motor, or better yet, bearings.  That was the Good Old Sears.)</p> <p>Well, it was a good workhorse as a vacuum, so I decided to get another. The current 16-gal unit (Model #17066) is nearly identical to the one I had, but with some changes.</p> <p>On the...</p>...
