The City Gave Him 60 Days to Close. Now a Retired Boeing Engineer Is Selling His Last 50 Blowers at a Loss.

The City Gave Him 60 Days to Close. Now a Retired Boeing Engineer Is Selling His Last 50 Blowers at a Loss.

Michael Delorme, Home & Garden Editor, April 2026

I wasn't planning to write this article.

 

Two weeks ago, I got a call from Albert Renaud, the retired Boeing engineer who built the Seese Pro, the 2.1-pound cordless blower that became one of the most talked-about tools in America.

 

He didn't sound like the confident inventor I'd interviewed last year.

 

He sounded like a man running out of time.

What happened

What happened

In February, the city of Tampa sent a structural inspection team to the small commercial building on Hillsborough Avenue where Albert runs his workshop and showroom.

 

The building is old. The roof needs work. The electrical isn't up to 2026 code.

 

The verdict: "structurally non-compliant."

Albert was given 60 days to vacate.

 

No extension. No appeal. The building will be demolished to make way for a new mixed-use development.

 

"I've been here three years," Albert told me. "This is where I built the first 47 prototypes. This is where I packed the first boxes myself. And now they're telling me I have two months to disappear."

The Accidental Invention That Started in a Hospital Bed

50 units. That's what's left.

When the notice came, Albert had 50 Seese Pro units sitting on the shelves of his showroom, fully assembled, tested, and ready to ship.

 

He can't move them to a new location because there is no new location. Not yet. He's looking, but commercial leases in Tampa take months.

 

He can't store them because the demolition timeline is firm.

 

So he made a decision that, honestly, surprised me.

He's selling the last 50 at liquidation price. Not retail. Not even the usual sale price. Below cost.

 

His words: "I'd rather put them in the hands of 50 people who'll actually use them than watch them get buried under a pile of concrete."

The Numbers That Made Me a Believer

Why I'm writing this now

I first covered the Seese Pro eight months ago. I was skeptical. A 2-pound blower that outperforms machines five times its size? It sounded like marketing.

 

Then I tested it.

 

400 square feet of wet oak leaves on brick. Push broom: 25 minutes, sore shoulders. Seese Pro: 3 minutes, 12 seconds. One hand.

 

A Honda Accord after a car wash. Chamois cloth: 18 minutes plus micro-scratches. Seese Pro: 87 seconds. Contactless. Zero scratches.

 

I've been using it every week since. My back has never felt better.

 

So when Albert called me and said he was liquidating his last stock, I told him I'd get the word out. Because this tool changed how I think about yard work, and 50 people deserve to get it at a price that'll never exist again.

We Timed It. Here's What Happened.

the backstory (if you missed it)

Albert Renaud spent 31 years at Boeing designing turbine compression systems for the 787 Dreamliner. His specialty: forcing massive volumes of air through impossibly small spaces.

 

When he retired, he grabbed his 23-pound Stihl gas blower one October morning and pulled the starter cord. The cord pulled back. His L4-L5 disc cracked. Months of chiropractor visits. Thousands in medical bills.

 

Lying in bed, he asked himself one question: "Why are we still using 1970s motor technology to blow leaves?"

 

8 months and 47 prototypes later, he had the answer: a brushless turbine motor spinning at 110,000 RPM, packed into a device that weighs 2.1 pounds.

He called it the Seese Pro.

Why Something This Small Works This Well

what makes it different (quick specs)

  • 110,000 RPM — a Formula 1 engine maxes at 15,000
  • 1,200 CFM airflow — most gas blowers top out at 500
  • 200 MPH jet speed — peels wet leaves off textured brick
  • 2.1 lbs — a gallon of milk weighs 8.6
  • 21V battery — compatible with DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee
  • 30% quieter than gas blowers
  • Lifetime motor warranty

This isn't a gadget. It's miniaturized aerospace engineering in the shape of a tool that fits in your glove box.

What real owners are saying

Over 2,400 verified reviews.

Average rating: 4.9 stars.

"I'm 68, and maintaining my yard was becoming impossible. I couldn't even start my gas blower anymore — the pull cord was too painful. With this thing, I clear my driveway, patio, and gutters in 10 minutes. I use it one-handed while drinking my coffee."

— Bernard T., 68, Homeowner in Florida

"My husband laughed when he saw the size of the box. Now he won't put it down. He uses it to dry his car, clean his workbench, even start the charcoal grill in 10 seconds. It's like watching a kid with a new toy."

— Martha K., 62, Retired Teacher

"Stronger than my $400 backpack blower. Fits in my toolbox. I paid half the price and got double the convenience. If you're on the fence, just get it."

— Robert M., Verified Buyer

The liquidation deal

Here's what Albert is offering on the last 50 units before the building closes:

Retail price: $249.99

Liquidation price: $119.99

That's 55% off, which is already lower than the usual sale price. But on top of that, every unit ships with:

  • FREE High-Capacity 21V Battery ($70 value)
  • FREE Noise-Canceling Earplugs ($25 value)
  • FREE $15 Store Gift Card

Total value of extras: $110. For a tool that already costs less than half of what the competition charges.

Albert told me he's losing money on every unit at this price. But he'd rather clear the shelves than let them go to waste.

Try It Risk-Free for 30 Days

Every Seese Pro comes with:

  • 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee: If you don't love it, return it for a full refund. No questions.
  • Lifetime Warranty: If anything breaks, ever, they'll replace it.
  • Fast Shipping: Orders ship within 24-48 hours.

Why You Shouldn't Wait

The Seese Pro has been consistently selling out during peak home maintenance season. The 55% discount is still active — but once this batch is gone, the price goes back to $249.99.

A personal note from Michael

I've written about hundreds of tools over 15 years. I try to stay objective.

 

But I'll be honest: when Albert called me, I felt something. This is a man who spent 31 years at Boeing, wrecked his back doing yard work, built something remarkable in his garage, and now the city is tearing it down.

 

He's not asking for sympathy. He's asking for 50 people to take a chance on the best tool he's ever made.

 

I already own one. If I didn't, I'd be first in line.
