Can this unit blow a light to medium layer of dust off a car? Is it powerful enough?

yes it is quite powerful. the plastic body is somewhat delicate and will not take much abuse

Absolutely can blow dust off of a car. It's pretty powerful for being small. You will need an extension cord for it though. Cord is only about 6" long. I use it to blow off my sidewalks, front porch and deck. Works great.

Oh yes. It is very powerful esp since it runs on power rather than battery.

I have not used it as one, but only around the living room and the kitchen to pick up all the stuff that falls on the floor and the rug. Frankly, I think that it would do well as a car vacuum, as it seems to hold its charge well.

Yes, it can! I did indeed try it for that purpose. To know if the snow is light and fluffy for the job, try blowing a little bit of snow with your mouth. If it comes off, then this will do the trick perfectly. However, do not store the blower inside your car. It will degrade the battery quickly. It is my understanding after reading numerous articles on LI and Ni-Cad batteries that they do not like to be stored in extremely hot or cold temperatures over extended period of times.

No It won't do the job. Also the last one I got was broken when I received it. The blower is just strong enough to blow some dust off of electronics.

I have used my Makita blower several times to blow light, fluffy snow off of my driveway, deck and car. It works quite well on snow up to maybe an inch and a half. You can blow deeper snow but it just blows a narrow swath and takes quite a while to do a large area.

I think it would depend on size of gravel. When low-power blowing on street in front of my house, this gizmo will blow pebbles and small stones around; I have to be careful not to damage neighbors' cars (or mine).

I have used it to blow out the vents, and keyboard, I have used it to clow out my dektops, it is very strong and does a good job, you just have to be aware of its power, heck, I have used it a a small blower in my garage to blow out all the dust in there...lol

I don't think it's powerful enough to really blow typical road gravel- maybe pea gravel, or smaller

It works great for that. I use it to vacuum my car and it's very easy. You just have to adapt it for that purpose.

it could. might need an adapter to connect the hose to it, but I would be concerned about the dust issue. I use a shop vac with a bag and a 2nd filter on the air outlet, and still get some dust blowing out of the shop vac

Doubt it. Too small of a nozzle and not nearly as powerful as the huge blowers/nozzles at my car wash. It works to blow loose tree leaf & seed debris off the hood & windshield, though. It also blew a sweatshirt off the garage floor. Works fine for blowing reasonably loose piles of redwood tree duff & debris from my roof & driveway.

Hi. Well I have used normal leaf blowers to do that very job and since this is a little stronger than a leaf blower, it should work fine.

not for drying the car. but the other day i used it to blow off the tree blossoms/droppings, etc. i noticed that the blowing did not get off all the pollen clinging to the surface, so i doubt the drying power of the blower (and the capacity of the battery)

Haven't used it for a car. This is a great "dust buster" type vac, but is no match for a Shop Vac on big jobs.

My device blows just air - not heated air. I might blow off powdery, dry air, but I don't think it would do very well on slush.

This is only a duster. They (the same company) make a vacuum that can blow air as well, but it is not a powerful.

I use mine in the garage to filter and move the air around. I wouldn't try to use it as a dust collection system. I don't think it's designed for that type of application.
