Provided are a blower, capable of suppressing noise occurring in a stator while significantly improving blowing efficiency, and an outdoor unit using the same. The present disclosure comprises: a bell mouth part spaced apart at a predetermined distance in the radial direction with respect to an outer circumferential end of a propeller fan; and a diffuser part installed on the downstream side of the bell mouth part, and having a flow path area which is enlarged from the upstream side toward the downstream side with a larger magnification rate than the magnification rate of the flow path area in the downstream end of the bell mouth part; and a stator part having a plurality of stators, wherein the stator part is arranged within the diffuser part.
