Namco’s ¾-HP, 3,500 cfm Carpet Blower, when set on low speed, “is about the same as our old ¼-HP unit at 3 amps, with virtually no repairs; out of 5,000 units sold we have had about six repairs, only on switches,” the company said.

Namco started manufacturing the new blower because of repairs on the ¼-HP unit. The new blower “makes a good rental unit that lasts and lasts without repairs.”
