This blower vac is powerful and really does pick up what I need it to. I haven't tried it as a blower yet, but I mainly got it for the vacuum. I have lots of cats in the house with a lot of cardboard scratch pads that throw a lot of cardboard everywhere. Not to mention all the cat hair. This picks up everything nicely, which saves wear and tear on my regular house vac.
After checking what was available ,I determined what I wanted by what was offered. I then focused on price and found this machine to be the best value. I am very pleased with it.It is light and powerful. Though it is loud, but then most are. Also it was available for pickup right away at my local Wallmart store.I ordered on line and by the time I got to the store(about a mile away) it was ready. In and out! No time wasted!
The blower works great. The RPM are among the highest of the more inexpensive models. The others were not vac/mulcher either. The vac works great but small sticks get inadvertantly sucked up & I'm worried it'll destory the fan blades of the mulch part. I saw no nicks on it though. One time it mulched fine & one time the leaves didn't seem so much, in all fairness, some leaves were a little damp & they were the small oak leaves, so not much to mulch. It's electric, but I have only a small area around my coach & the deck & car area. I love & my daughter loves hers, too. Thanks BB
Blower works great. I use it during the winter to blow light amounts of snow off the steps and sidewalk. Starts every time regardless of the temperature!
I actually purchased it to clean up after edging the sidewalk. Works great for that and blows all of the excavated dirt across the yard where it doesn't show. Why sweep up good soil and trash it? It also works great for blowing off the deck, porch and the garage floor. I have had other inexpensive leaf blowers that weren't powerful enough to move anything. This one exceeded expectations.
The blower was easy to assemble and use. The speed of the blower was high enough to move the leaves and the vacuum worked good to pick up the leaves. Will only get used a few times per year and for the infrequent use was sufficient. If a lot of leaf build up may want a higher speed blower. The blower has only been used once since purchased 1 week ago.
The Black & Decker 12-amp blower vacuum fully met my expectations at a very reasonable price. My only regret is that I did not buy one several years ago. It was very simple to get it ready to go - assemble would be too strong a word - and a snap to operate. It is actually fun.
We live in windy area and I constantly am constantly trying to keep our patio clean, so I bought this blower-vac to both blow and suck up dust and those pesky bougainvillea petals. It does a good job and the impeller inside chops up those petals to a fine chop. It has helped me keep the patio clean...though it is a never-ending battle with the wind blowing. My only problem with the machine is the weight...I have a very bad shoulder and packing the blower-vac around really gets it hurting. But that could be a problem with any other blower-vac I bought, unless there is one that is a lot lighter.
I bought this product mostly to try the vacuum feature. I don't know what kind of leaves they used to make the 10 to 1 grind-ratio claim, but it's surely not Oak leaves.. from what I saw each time I emptied the bag, the leaves were mostly intact. After close to 45 minutes to set the machine up, fill and then empty the small vacuum bag 8 times, I had only filled 2, 30 gallon bags. The worst thing I noticed is that unless you are vacuuming soft leaves and not small branch pieces, mulch, or small stones, the plastic impeller takes a beating. I hope you are able to view the photo of the impeller that I'm including.. again, this is after filling only 2 bags.. On the positive side, the blower although very loud, works well. I'm glad Walmart has a good return policy, cause this purchase is going right back.
On second use, the paper thin collection bag ripped from the inside out. Once it did, the air pressure shredded the bag making it utterly useless as a debris collector. Also, the plastic blade was underwhelming for power. Had a previous B&D before this but clearly they are cutting corners now. Won't repeat that mistake.
