the biggest flaw? all those spinning blades to chop you up!

An expensive and bulky leaf blower. But jolly good fun. That you can blow leaves while sitting on your arse is another benefit.

Did you note the rabbit hi-tailing it outta there at the beginning? Wisest creature in the field.

My uncle Letsgo, in an effort to improve his chicken coops, went down to Kmart and bought a couple desktop fans.
He set them up in the coop but soon had to remove them.
Seems the chickens are as dumb as humans and got decapitated.

Hey Fontessa, you'd have laughed at the first horseless carriage, too.
Give it a few decades and you'll be trying to decide between the Audi and the Lexus.

I don't think a guy that duct tapes twenty fans to an umbrella clothesline and batteries with 30 Amp capacity and a plastic dome to protect him,
I don't think he's going to take it out of his yard.

He'd be better off making a 3-D printed pistol.
