| I have a lot of leaves every fall and needed something other than a gas blower. They are just too heavy for me nowadays. So I bought the Cordless Electric Broom from Black and Decker. What a great job it does even if they are wet on the driveway. I am really happy with it. I also just bought another one for my 84 year old neighbor as his gas blower was just too heavy for him too. I would very much recommend it to anyone who has leaves! |

I really wanted to like this thing, and I do, except that its batteries don't last all that long. It's very possible it's more a charger problem, because there isn't a good indicator of whether the battery that's on there is completely charged. There's a red light, but I don't know if that means the battery is charged, or just charging.
The sweeper does a good job, especially on hard surfaces (duh...maybe that's why they call it that), but does pretty well on grass when blowing leaves. My only gripe is about battery life...blows pretty good for about 15 minutes, then gradually weakens. They do include two batteries, so one can be charging while the other's in use, but it takes several hours to fully charge one, and (in my case) only 30 minutes to deplete two of them.
Haven't found a better system, but wish this one was a little better. I guess I'd still recommend it, but only after warning you of the battery issues. |

| This is my second Black and Decker battery operated blower I have purchased for my wife. I buy her any yard tool she wants because it makes my life simpler. Seriously, the first blower lasted, while used frequently, a long time. As run time decreased due to wear I got her the new one as I had to start up the gas one when her batteries went dead. It's perfect for quickly blowing off the patio, driveway, and even the garage floor when leaves or pine needles invade. I recommend this product to anyone who perfers quality at a moderate price. I forgot to mention that it is so simple to operate that my 4 year old grandson plays around at cleaning too. |

| Black & Decker has made a good cordless leaf and light debris blower. The battery lasts about 15 minutes if charged a full 9 hours, which is just enough for my outdoor needs. The blower is light and easy to handle, with enough power for small quantities of tree material. The product arrived promptly and in good shape. It works best on driveways and sidewalks. |
| B&D Cordless Blower excellent | 2008-10-24 | 5 / 5 |

Had already bought the newer 18v cordless B&D weed trimmer (had an older model with lesser voltage battery and much bigger battery) and it works great, so thought I'd try the cordless blower. I have a corded model that works well, but, as we all know the power cord is real pain.
Cordless blower very powerful for what I need it for - blowing leaves and grass around the yard to corral for lawnmower pick-up. Having the extra 18v from the weed trimmer helps as the blower seems to use the battery power quicker than the weed trimmer.
I just hope these batteries last better than the older version ones as they say these can stay pugged in to keep their power without affecting performance.
Even with the potential for battery issues (just make sure you've always got a fresh one or two) I highly recommend both B&D pieces and may now look to buy the cordless hedge trimmer.
