Default Leaf Blower better than vacuum cleaner

I use my leaf blower to clean out my interior. Open both doors and the hatch and it takes about 1 minute. Fast and easy. Anyone else tried this? Why suck when you can blow?

Yes, In fact I've done that as well a couple of times.

Surprised car wash places don't try that. What would the patrons think?

Guys, I am a married man (to a woman). I was just trying to be funny at the end. I guess nobody has a sense of humor except for CULOOKIN. I was just giving a good alternative to the vacuum cleaner or shop vac. Sorry if I offended anyone

I've tried it and it sucks - er it blows...doesn't get the dirt out of the carpets - does a great job distributing it all around the car though...

I use a blower too! A small one about the size of a large hair dryer. Bought it at Kragens for $10. Nikota brand. Works great for interiors and also use it around headlights, mirrors, tailights and license plate surrounds to blow out excess water after washing.

You didn't offend anyone. Some of us just have a dry sense of humor! Most of us just enjoy cracking ourselves up!!

Nice idea, but think I will stick with the vacuum.
