With the Black & Decker Leaf Hog, you can clean up both the deck and the lawn with one reasonably priced and easy-to-maintain machine. This blower/vac is electric, so it requires an extension cord and an electric outlet to run, but there's nothing else to set up or maintain. The 12 amp motor has considerable power for its size, more than enough to clear driveways or decks or blow off sections of lawn. At just over 7 pounds, the Leaf Hog is light enough to use for long periods of time, and it's also quiet enough to use at any time of day. Switching from blowing to vacuuming is a snap--literally. The correct button took us a moment to find, but once you've located it, you simply depress it and remove the blowing unit, then attach the vacuum extension in its place. The extension has a bag for mulch, which attaches with a small clasp. When vacuuming, the unit mulches by sucking leaves through the fan assembly. Though this model, with its patented Vortex anticlog vacuum system, does a better job of remaining unclogged than most, you still need to be careful to avoid rocks and sticks. It also has a variable-speed control that lets you choose between 150 and 200 mph blower speed.

This product is not perfect, but it is tough! I have had one for more than ten years and I have worked it hard around a Connecticut forest-edge home which also means that I vacuum up a lot of rocks, wood chips and cones. After years of hard work the motor bearings have just started to go but I will say that I got my money's worth many times over. I bought other blowers for a clubhouse and had problems with breakage. Only two complaints. 1) If you accidentally release the head while the impeller is still turning, you are exposed to it - there is no emergency brake. But I have not seen other products with a brake either. 2) the exit port is easy to clog when picking up wet leaves and in New England, they often are wet! But I can live with both of those issues. I highly recommend this product. I am buying my second unit now. There was no question in my mind about sticking with this brand and this model.

The second time I used it the product quit. I called B&D and they replaced it with a new product. I noticed on the one you sent that it was marked 2007, the one B&D sent was marked 2010. I will not buy anything from you that is mechanical.

I have owned this unit for over 3 years. It is a superior blower and the vac works really well and mulches the leaves as advertised. Caveat: If you have oak trees with acorns, the vac is powerful enough to suck them up, and create mayhem with the housing (shattering mine and actually creating a semi-dangerous situation - make certain you wear eye protection when you use this item). That said, I love this unit and am going to purchase a replacement vac housing and impeller blade (mine is worn to a nub from said acorns). If you deal exclusively with grass/leaves and don't have much hard debris (mulch, stones, acorns), this unit should be perfect for you. Ergonomics are very good, very easy to use. I don't understand the cord handling comments/issues some have

You can't beat the guarantee for these units , when they wear out you just take it to a repair store and they give you a new one. very handy with the trash can unit for picking up large volumes of leaves.
By Mr. Bubba (northeast)
Not worth the money or effort, it constantly clogs up, so you need to constantly unclog it. I rather rake and pick the leaves up myself, it's quicker....
