The best blowers ever made were the original purple and white Champion blowers. i wish they had never tried to change them a few years ago, they were never the same and unfortunatley no more. I still have one that is atleast 10 years old and blows harder than anything else I have ever had including a new Air Express III. Now days I would say the best one out there is the Air Express III. The Boss is good, as powerful as 1 1/2 Air Expresses, but for almost the same money you can get 2 Air Expresses for 1 Boss. Spend another couple hundred and get the Y-connector, hose and dolly.
