    I've quite a few tools from the PXC range and this is the weakest in terms of performance and quality. I'd sooner recommended their other inflator which can do high-pressure as well at high-flow inflation, including your tyres and such, and can also be powered from mains.

      I have to disagree with you Chris, I have one of these and swear by it.
      I guess it depends on what you use it for. I have an inflatable kayak and it inflates this large two seater in minutes. I also use it to inflate queens size air mattresses which it does promptly. Just as a bonus it can act as a mini blower to clean up a small area of leaves around a campsite and is fabulous for getting the reluctant fire going. I won't go camping with out it.
      It is not made for inflating tyres. Those inflators aren't suitable for the type of work I have as they aren't high volume blowers.
      How do you measure quality? I think it is very well made.

        As I mentioned above, both do high-volume. However, one is more versatile, IMO.

        For the price, I think this deal is still decent for somebody in the market who already has PXC batteries. The product isn't terrible but it didn't blow me away - no pun intended.

        As you said, great for inflatables, or to blow some dust off a workbench. Perhaps my expectations were too high.

          That's literally what the product description says it's meant for.

          Perhaps my expectations were too high.

          I think it's more like your expectations were wrong - it sounds like you were expecting it to do things it wasn't designed to do. :)

          Chris, I think you have got it wrong, they aren't both High-volume.

          One is a blower, like a concentrated fan, it pushes a HIGH volume of air with fan blades but at low pressure. Great for blowing away leaves, fanning a fire and inflating big things like air mattresses that only need low pressure

          The other is a pump, it pushes a LOW volume of air with a piston but at a high pressure. Great for tyres & footballs which need high pressure. Also ok for small inflatables like floating rings but slow to inflate.

          No, one is not more versatile than the other they have different jobs. You can't blow leaves with a pump, you can't inflate tyres with a blower. You can inflate small inflatables with both but one takes seconds the other takes many more seconds.

          • chrisandrew on 19/03/2023 - 09:54

            @PerthSV: Thanks for the education piece on what they are and their intended uses. I own both of them, so I'm pretty familiar at this point. In my opinion, the OP's deal is good for small jobs but the pump version is preferable for most of those small jobs. It has high-pressure and high-volume modes, can be powered from a socket, sits flat, has more useful attachments, blows and sucks. It does beds, balls, tyres, pool toys, tyres, dusting, etc. It can't replace a leaf blower but neither can this product. This product pushes more air, but not enough for me to choose it over the other. The pump style blower therefore takes a little longer to pump an airbed, for example, but it doesn't take long at all. This is only my opinion based on my experience owning and using both; we don't have to agree.

              I own both types of pumps as well. Are you actually saying you prefer this model to blow sawdust and debris off a workbench and around a workshop, and to inflate pool toys and mattresses, over the one in OP's deal?

              • chrisandrew on 19/03/2023 - 10:15

                @eug: That's the one. In a vacuum, I think the OPs is better as a workshop blower, and the other for everything else. However, even in a workshop environment I wish it had just 15-25% more power, so I usually grab the larger blower or the shop vac.

                  Yup, a workshop blower works better as a workshop blower than a pool toy inflator/tyre pump, which is less practical to use in a workshop environment as it's bulkier (it's 2 pumps in one after all) and has a floppy hose that you have to manage.

                  That is why I thought your suggestion that people who are considering this workshop blower should buy a pool toy inflator/tyre pump wasn't the best as it really depends on what the buyer wants to do with it.

                  The added versatility of a pool inflator/tyre pump would actually be a detriment if the buyer just wants to use it as a workshop blower.

                  That's just my opinion having owned and used both, but everyone uses their tools differently so your opinion is just as valid as mine.

    • Clear on 18/03/2023 - 09:35

      This blower on a 4Ah battery is good. Anything else and it's not getting enough power.

      • Hugh G Rection on 18/03/2023 - 20:25
        -4

        FALSE!!!!!!!!

        AH is amp hours. more AH = more run time.4AH gives you more runtime over a 2AH

        V is volts. more volts = more power. this is 18 volts, power can't be changed, unless it runs off of 2 18V batteries making it 36V which = more power.

        • Clear on 18/03/2023 - 20:26
          +1

          Irrelevant. Cbf finding it but the internals of the higher capacity batteries are different and some skins like this can take better advantage of it.

          The blower has a lot less blow on the 2Ah than the 4Ah.

        • eug on 18/03/2023 - 20:57

          FALSE!!!!!!!!

          That's a Hugh G Reaction.

          AH is amp hours. more AH = more run time.4AH gives you more runtime over a 2AH

          That is true, but a 18V 2AH Ozito pack would be internally wired in a 5S1P configuration whereas an 18V 4AH Ozito pack would be 10S2P.

          The configuration refers to how the cells are wired, e.g. 2 parallel sets of 5 cells in series. Having more cells in parallel allows higher current draw which means tools that can take advantage of it will perform better.

          That is why you see the results in this video.

          Some battery packs use 21700 cells which can deliver even higher max current.

          I wouldn't have expected a blower to benefit too much from a 2P config but it's certainly possible.

          • Borg on 18/03/2023 - 21:08

            @eug: I agree and what you wrote makes total sense. Using it with a 4amp battery gives it a lot more grunt compared to using with the smaller 2amp pack. I have both.

          • HelpMeiCantSee on 19/03/2023 - 00:02

            @eug: 5s2p not 10s2p. 10s gives you over 40v. But your point is valid. Though I’ve seen many tools work much better on bigger packs- like you I’m surprised it’s noticeable on a blower, but still.

            • eug on 19/03/2023 - 00:34

              @HelpMeiCantSee:

              5s2p not 10s2p

              Whoops that's right, fingers moved ahead of my brain!

        • bargaino on 20/03/2023 - 14:37

          Two words: internal resistance.

          BUT, I just tested this blower, and it only draws 4 or 5 amps after startup surge.
          A fresh 2Ah battery copes just fine. For a few minutes at least :)

        • Duff5000 on 21/03/2023 - 13:12

          Nah, your not correct there. More volts doesn't necessarily mean more power. Power is voltage x current. There are plenty of 12v tools that are more powerful than cheaper 18v tools, voltage alone isn't that relevant.

          Have a think about car batteries. If you were correct, a tiny 12v battery built for starting a 1L engine would be totally fine cranking over a big v8.

          While both use 12v, the v8 would be equipped with a bigger battery with larger surface area per cell so it can provide more amps. More amps at the same voltage, more 'power'.

          Using the 4Ah battery in tools has much the same effect. Rather than larger cells like in the car battery it runs basically 2 sets in parallel. I can actually run 2 smaller car batteries in parallel rather than one big one in my diesel in much the same way.

          Think of the 18v 4Ah batteries as 2 18v 2Ah batteries running in parallel. Can run for longer and/or provide more amps to the tool.

    • Dsiee on 18/03/2023 - 12:50

      I find this very versatile and a great buy at this price. Love it to quickly blow myself off (in a G rated way) after doing some dusty work or quickly cleaning something up. Good for inflating the Biscuit when skiing or a camp bed in no time. Certainly likes the paralleled batteries like the 3 and 4ah.

      • Munners1989 on 19/03/2023 - 20:41

        If you're looking for a lot of volume i.e an inflatable boat, your best off using a blower and then topping up with a foot pump to pressure. The ozito one linked in this reply thread only puts out 10L per minute which means it will take forever to get something large up to pressure.

        • tunzafun001 on 19/03/2023 - 21:01

          Cheers, are you sure on 10L per minute?

          It's advertised as High Volume. A $10 cheapy Kmart high volume pump does 1000L / min.

      Humans can blow air at around 120 km/h (obviously not sustained).

      There is a blower between this one and the one you are after.

      It's decent performance for the price. I use it exclusively to blow dust out of the shed as my 2 stroke Stihl is too powerful for this.

        The Garden one (linked above) is so much better for everything inside and out, especially for blowing out the Dyson! Ok, it has a long nozzle but it's light and easy to point at small places. I recommend it over this as can do both workshop and enough grunt for small gardens, paths. patios etc to boot. Ok………it costs more but sometimes goes on special and can be used for many more things. My opinion only!

    A few of my obscure and normal Uses:
    Perfect to blow the concrete pathway around my house when there is only a handful of leaves and i don't want to grab the bigger jet blower.

    When i am on a ladder cleaning the roof gutters, instead of using my hands i use this blower as i move the ladder along, also use the jet blower with the worx gutter attachment and just walk about the edge of the house, make it so much easier and safer.

    Handy for drying thing, eg car after washing, verandah etc.

    Clearing sand from around the sand pit after kids have made a mess.

    Cleaning dust and debris behind places i can't reach, eg fishtank, fixed furniture.

    Also taking the nozzle off and use it to quickly cool microwaved food for the kids when they are being inpatient, eg noodles, cabonara, rice etc

  • ricsantos on 18/03/2023 - 14:29

    I’m guessing this only blows one way. Would be great if it had a reverse switch to deflate things like air mattresses.

    Was planning on getting the ozito inflator/deflator for an upcoming camping trip but this bargain looks like better value.

    • PerthSV on 18/03/2023 - 14:46

      I do use it for deflating my kayak and air mattress. The main nozzle does fit over the intake hole but it doesn't click in and stay in place, you just have to hold it there. However this literally only takes a few seconds to remove the last of the air in the inflatable and you're ready to go. Get it, I highly recommend it for camping. I only use a 1.5 Amph battery and it is wonderful.

      • fufufu on 18/03/2023 - 21:51

        I'm not sure I follow how you are deflating with this blower….

        • PerthSV on 19/03/2023 - 04:01
          +1

          The intake port is on the centre left hand side of the unit. It has a lip that the nozzle can slip over but it doesn't clip into place so I just hold it there with my free hand. I stick the nozzle end into the air mattress or kayak and pull the trigger. It is a high volume pump and will now deflate just about every litre of air out of the inflatable in a very short time. I have used this method many times with absolute success.

          I would say for this job this blower would be far superior to the inflator. The given specs are hard to compare but according to the manual they say:
          Blower Max. Air Speed: 78km/hr
          Inflator Flow Rate: 10L/min @ 4bar (58psi)

          I would hazard at a guess the blower is pumping through more air by volume in a second than the inflator does in a minute.

    Would this be good for cleaning up the PC?

    • Borg on 18/03/2023 - 19:25

      The nozzle is fairly wide but for general quick blow dust out, yes. I still prefer and use the garden variety I noted above for PCs as it does a better job being more focused and intense.

      • Richardc on 18/03/2023 - 19:38

        I found the garden variety are too strong and heavy, looking to use this with the inflator attachment as dust blower.

        • Borg on 18/03/2023 - 21:02

          Too heavy? The "little" garden one is only approx 350grams heavier :-)

          Having said that it has the longer funnel which may not suit everyone. I however consider it a plus i.e. allows one to stand back which saves getting a blast of blow back dust or crap in the face :-)

        • Borg on 19/03/2023 - 11:36

          I tested the inflator attachments and don't think they would be good for cleaning PCs.

          Reasons: There is a nub of plastic at the tips so air comes out the sides. one could cut them off but even then the pressure (air speed) isn't great. If it was for light dust, it would be fine but not to blast accumulated stuff from nooks and crannies inside a case.

    These are rubbish. I bought it the other day at $29.95 and it's all noise and hardly any pressure or volume. Sure it can blow away some light dust or maybe inflate and air mattress… but It creates almost zero pressure so if you put the smaller nozzle on to increase the outlet speed, it does nothing. You can tell by how easy it is to totally block the outlet with your hard- it takes almost no force. Unlike a cheap shop-vac which will create some real proper pressure and the use of a small nozzle will cause a serious high pressure blow gun almost like an air compressor. This ozito blower is about as powerful as a hair dryer fan. Avoid.
