Does this blow air out when vacuuming? From what direction? I want to vacuum tiny hair clippings after my haircut, but don't want them blown around.

Air exits out the back of the motor housing below the power cord. I use it to vac feathers and seed from the bird I have, haven't had a problem with the exhaust interfering with the vacuuming. It has a short power cord (approximately 6') and approximately 6' hose, so it is mostly a two handed operation.

Sounds like your looking for a hair dryer with a very gentle blow, one that barely blows your hair around. This one, I would say is more of a low to medium blow. It will move your hair around. Hope this helps.

This gets hot..I rarely use it at hottest setting..I love it..it blows my hair shiny and smooth without much effort..I can just use condenser, and aim down..little brush work needed.

It blows through the barrel where the bristles are. You can take the barrel off and use as a regular blower.

It blows the air toward the laptop. I'm not sure how it works beacause the ambient air isn't all that cool/cold, but it does seem to work fairly well for me. My LT hasn't heated up since I started using it, but it was having a slight problem before.

No it is a blower only - I have had several blowers with vacuum and they never worked or got clogged up...just my opinion

The instructions say to not open up fan but to vacuum with attachment and it will suck out the dust. This has not worked for me. There is dust inside beyond the slats and my vacuum is not strong enough to such it all out. Considering what to do about this now. Update: I have an electric leaf blower(7amp 160mph) for my patio so I tried using that to blow the dust out and it worked really well. I used a tiny bottle brush that I have that fit in between the slats to loosen any not blown out, then blew again. Worked really well! Now I will blow it out every month or so to avoid the buildup. Problem solved.

There is an outlet for blowing as there is for vacuuming. As reported by others, if you need a lot of suction "or blowing" this isn't your vacuum cleaner but it works well for sawdust, bugs, car dirt, etc. I use it on my boat because it is so portable. CBEAT

Hi Bob,The vacuum will pull some uncut hair into the very small port which does "help" make the cut even, but I would not rely on the vacuum alone. The plastic guards are your best bet for even cutting. I, like Justin, keep my hair short so it pulls all of the cut hair with ease.

The simple nozzel/brush plugs in to a short vertical post about midway on the vac's side. As for the spinning brush attachment, I belive you store that in your closet. They made this vac as compact as possible and there's just no place to hang, attach, or clamp it to the unit and not have look/be awkward. I have an older Dyson with a bunch of attachments, unfortunately, they have to sit in the closet as well. Like the Hoover, the fit but too much to hang all over the vac.

With each squeeze you get a strong poof of air. Strong enough to blow dust out of a camera, but I just tried it on my keyboard and all it did was blow away a few specks of surface dust. It doesn't have enough oomph to blow anything up and out of the keyboard. And each poof is just a split second in duration.

Well the air exaust port is on the top of the canister and is filtered so it pretty much expells air in a straight colum of air.You really have to be over the vacuum to feel the exaust.

This thing is a hoss, so you have a lot of lee-way. Hang near to where you generate the most dust, most often. Angle away from that area, and in such a way that the tool will blow around the room. Don't point it at a wall, or you interrupt the air flow. Ideally, the air should circulate in a circle around the room.

No, it has the regular wind around cord, but it is really a good cleaner. My carpeting looks like it doesn't need vacuuming but when it's done anyway, I'm amazed at the amount of dust/dirt it picks up.

I use a Jet DC-650M, a relatively small dust collector, with a cyclone pre-stage through a 4 inch plastic hose. I never have "dust" shooting out the front. I see lots of small "shreds" flowing up the hose. Remote possibility: is the shop vac blowing instead of sucking?

The exhaust blows through a filter on the top but you can't even notice it & I have not had an issue with dust coming out NOR blowing anything around! Another reason why I LOVE this canister vacuum! Still working like a charm with all the pet hair and dirt the dogs and kids track in!

This vacuum works great with pet hair. It seems as though the vacuum is at an angle so it actually brings the pet hair in towards it.
