I purchased this blower in October of 2015 from HomeDepot.com and it lasted 3 years, then just stopped working. Was great up until that point. I used it maybe once a week when washing my bikes to blow out any water from the bike components. A call to Buffalo Tools was helpful. Customer service was responsive. They seem to think its the brushes on the motor that need to be replaced, I do not have the spare set that came with the blower so I may be out of luck unless they can send new brushes. A note that at $20, this was a really good deal, but should last much longer considering I didn't use it for more than 3-4 minutes at a time.
