A blower includes a fan that causes momentum to air by rotation, a shaft that defines a rotation axis of the fan, a bearing that supports the shaft outside of the fan, and a weight that is movable in a direction of rotation of the fan. In the fan, the weight is located opposite to the bearing with respect to an end of the fan adjacent to the bearing, and thus an increase in weight by the weight can be reduced.

An air intake device has a first inlet through which outside air flows and a second inlet through which inside air flows. A filter is arranged to cover a lower part of the first inlet and a lower part of the second inlet. An air sending device is located under the filter, and the filter is arranged to be inclined to an air intake part of the air sending device. The air intake device is configured to be switched between an outside air mode and a two, layer mode. The air intake device defines a continuation passage at the outside air mode. The continuation passage causes the outside air to flow from the lower part of the first inlet to the lower part of the second inlet.
