• a pipe including a suction port at a front end and a discharge port at a base end;
• a blower fan provided outside the pipe and driven by an electric motor;
• a pressure flow path provided outside the pipe, and configured to feed pressurized wind generated by the blower fan into the pipe from around the pipe near the suction port, and to eject the pressurized wind to the discharge port;
• a handle provided outside the pipe and near the discharge port of the pipe, and configured to be held by a hand;
• and
• a battery configured to supply the electric motor with power,
• wherein:
• the pipe extends along an axis from the front end to the base end and includes at the base end a bending portion inclined with respect to the axis;
• the blower fan is inclined forwardly along the bending portion and disposed on a base end side of the bending portion;
• the handle is disposed between a lower side and an upper side of the blower fan so as to form a space on a base end side of the blower fan;
• the battery is attached to an opposing portion on a base end side of the handle, the opposing portion facing the blower fan with the space interposed therebetween;
• and
• the opposing portion of the handle and the battery attached to the opposing portion are inclined oppositely to the blower fan with respect to the axis, and an upper length of the space of the handle is greater than a lower length thereof.
