Again Superb machine! Love and just love it!! The pictures explain it all! Don have actual before and after pics but I will say machine is pretty powerful. Works like a charm. As for the blower not so much, but I didn't buy it for that feature. Everything else is money. Keep in mind if you are having issues please refer to warranty. According to review some customers had bad experience,, but one thing they did say positive is the return and warranty without a doubt was top notch. That is one reason why I went with Bissel.
