I use the RYOBI ONE+ 18V Cordless Compact Workshop Blower for fires and it's not a one trick pony like this tool. Been using one for years with grills and firepits.

Its more of a hassle and waste of space to carry around/store.

I have one of these and love it. Helps start and maintain fires well. Batteries have been lasting long.

I use something like this. Works all the time, no batteries are needed. Very compact and I carry it to every camp outing. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08ZNFK65K

So bellows upgraded from manual to electric, but for the same old wood fire?

Or like a blow dryer where you switch off the element. Like the wife has

This thing stinks, I can push on the housing without pushing the button and it'll activate. It also has a super weak motor, I returned it for a mattress pump + power bank combo.

I've used the jobsite blower from Ridgid for this purpose for about five years now. Similar to the Ryobi posted earlier but mine came with a swappable nozzle the same size as the one that comes on the Coleman D-Cell mattress inflator/deflators. Home Depot's listing doesn't specify whether it still comes with the nozzle but Amazon's does so I'd guess that it's still included as a standard item. The trigger is variable so you can get a low-speed stream of air for stoking fires, but on full blast it will inflate or deflate a queen-size air mattress in less than a minute. The biggest downsides are that on full blast it can be loud if you are setting up camp late at night and that it has a bad habit of walking off and then I have to go find out whose tent it landed in.

Those air dusters for computers might work as well, but I don't know if the bearing will hold up over prolonged use.

Ah, looks similar to the one I got from aliexpress, only flaw is the tips fall off too easily.

rpm claims very dubious though lol

I havent check the RPM's but it puts out a strong stream of air. The only thing I don't like about it is the on off button is super sensitive. I find myself just barely brushing the button during use ( button is on the front of handguard kind of a trigger location) and i turn it off when usng. Once I do it once I am more careful and can avoid doing it repeatedly but I do it about every time I go to use the thing. An annoyance more than a dealbreaker.

It's a Chinese product so RPM's battery life probably not one true spec available for it lol, but it does what it needs to do Stick Out Tongue
