1. A blower, comprising:
a lower case providing a suction port;
a fan provided inside the lower case;
a first tower disposed above the lower case, and providing a first discharge port;
a second tower disposed above the lower case, providing a second discharge port, and spaced apart from the first tower to form a blowing space therebetween where discharged air from the first and second discharge ports flows;
a tower base connecting the lower case and the first and second towers, and including an upper surface facing the blowing space;
a third discharge port penetrating the upper surface of the tower base in an up-down direction toward the blowing space;
a guide vane disposed at the third discharge port;
a first airflow converter that is movably disposed at the first tower so that the first airflow converter protrudes from an inside of the first tower into the blowing space; and
a second airflow converter that is movably disposed at the second tower so that the second airflow converter protrudes from an inside of the second tower into the blowing space.
