Blower

A blower, comprising:

• a plurality of batteries;
• a motor configured to operate by electric power supplied from the plurality of batteries;
• a centrifugal fan configured to rotate about a rotation axis by being driven by the motor and configured to change a flow direction of air from a first direction extending along the rotation axis to a radially outward direction of the rotation axis;
• a volute casing including a discharge port and configured to guide the air from the centrifugal fan along a circumferential direction of the rotation axis to the discharge port;
• and
• a main grip disposed radially outward of the rotation axis and outside of the volute casing and configured to be gripped by an operator,
• wherein
• a central axis of the main grip extends along a reference plane perpendicular to the rotation axis,
• a distance from the reference plane to a center of gravity of the blower is less than or equal to 1.5 times a width of the main grip,
• with respect to a direction in which the central axis extends, one end of the main grip is disposed on a discharge port side relative to another end of the main grip, and
• when the blower is viewed along the rotation axis, a center of gravity of the motor is disposed on the other end side relative to the one end of the main grip and on a one end side relative to the other end of the main grip.

• a distance from the reference plane to a center of gravity of the blower is less than or equal to 1.5 times a width of the main grip,
• the blower further comprises a base member fixed to the volute casing,
• in a state where the blower is placed on a placement plane, only the base member is in contact with the placement plane,
• the base member comprises a sub grip disposed radially outward of the rotation axis and configured to be gripped by the operator, and
• when the blower is viewed along the rotation axis, the center of gravity of the blower is disposed between the main grip and the sub grip.
