Most of the feedback comes from dog owners who have med/large dogs. I have Yorkies &amp; Chihuahuas. Will this blower, blow my dogs down the block??

Hi yes I have 3 big labordoodles dogs and I love this dryer it cuts my drying with towels down but in my opinion its more for shorter hair or smaller dogs, So my answer is my opinion you will like this dryer. BUT ALWAYS BEFORE YOU BUY check out their return policy, AND EMAIL SELLER make sure they will take it back in a reasonable amount of time if you are not happy. Good luck to you and I hope this helped you. I have had good luck with the one and only thing I returned.

I can't answer that...have only used it a few times since I moved and the dogs here have very short hair. I think it works great! It's got very powerful suction!!

I clear my neighbors gravel driveway and would say this works the same as other blowers I have had. I raise the shoes at the bottom but I still pickup a little gravel. His driveway is not very compact so that may be part of the reason. Still new to me (few storms) but very happy with this blower.

I Have A 74Lb Dog. I Don't ThiNk I Would Use This On A Smaller dog.I Use The Tone And VibratE. I Used The 1Setting A Few Times For Correction. I Used The 2 Setting Once And It Hurt My 74Lb Dog. Basically My Dog Gets Tone And Vibrate And Thats It. I Use To Have Yorkies, I Would Never Have Use This In Them. Its Way To Big And Can't Imagine The Zap It Would Give A Small Dog, When It Made My Big Dog Cower To The Zap And Yelp.My Dog Never Ran Toward The Road Again But I Felt Horrible.

It should blow the leaves as long as they are not wet and packed. This blower is extremely powerful for it's size and price. Actually has more force than our bigger gas powered one.

It's amazing with pet hair on hard floors! It doesn't have a spinning attachment so it doesn't blow the pet hair around when you are trying to suck it up. No chasing the hair around. I have two large retrievers and they are the reason I bought this vacuum. I do not regret it!

Joe, never got a chance to use it as my dog passed on. A friend of mine told me about the collar and that was when I purchased it. Most dogs hate the cone collar and the blow up collar didn't work at all, maybe because my dog had a long neck. Regardless, good luck to you and your dog

It blows a 'pffft' or compressed air. It's not even that loud and I can't explain it, but it's the only thing that works with my dogs. All 5 of them will start barking when someone's at the door. They feed off each other's energy and there is no way to bring them back to focus because at that point, they don't even hear me. I aim the Pet Convincer at them - it's actually a good couple of feet away from them, and they scatter. What happens over time is they start self correcting. I don't even have to press the trigger now. If they see me reach for it, they quiet down immediately. Nothing else has worked like this. It blows a 'pffft' or compressed air.

It's gotta be the best one you can buy. I've got a chihuahua that has long hair and a king size waterbed. I have to vacuum my bed daily and it does perfect job on the bed, my hardwood floors, scatter rugs, everything. Love it!

Hmmm....it will do my sidewalks, front and back of the house, 2 decks and a very long driveway which is about 200 ft long before it is too weak to blow. This is a very light, easy to charge and use blower, but definitely not powerful enough to blow leaves off a lawn. I use it only for what I described and am happy with it; although with a 2 acre yard I would love something bigger. I am old :-) so it is great for me. Hope this helps...

In response to Aaron's question, my experience with this machine is really more to do with blowing autumn leaves off driveways and other garden areas, but I imagine that the blower would be powerful enough for what you have in mind. Plus it's small enough to get into tight spaces, but as I have not used it for this purpose I don' to give you incorrect information.

I have one. It's pretty hefty. When my neighbors dogs are barking and annoying me I throw it at them and they run away. So yes, it does work pretty well on dogs. ;)

I have a giant husky/shepherd mix and stairs. For hard floors, I would suggest one of the hard floor accessories (sold separately). The power head works on hard floors, but its made for carpet. The best part about this for stairs is the retractable cord. I plug it in at the bottom, and then work from the top down, retracting the cord as I go and I don't worry about tripping on a tangled mess. For hair in general, this vacuum has no 90deg angles for long dog hair ball up and clog. I used to clog a bagless upright every time I used it. I haven't had a single clog with this.

It blows air. The sound makes the dog nervous. If you only use it for very specific things, it works very well. You just don't want to let your dog get used to it. I try to hide if from my dog when using it so she does not know where it is coming from.

It most assuredly will. I expected an electric blower to be under-powered, but I was wrong about this one. It's not intended to be a commercial-grade device, but it will blow leaves like nobody's business. For a utility blower that is used around the home once a week or less, you can't beat it for the price.

I don't yave a dog right now but I might be getting one soon. I'll update then if I do. But I think it would do great because my friends hair was about 3-4 ft long and it picked hers up fantasticly. The only trouble I had was that after my whole apartment I had to cut some off the brush roller but not much and dog hair isn't as long as that. You probably will have to empty the canister more often than I do because the extra hair.
