Leaf Blower

Leaf Blower

I chose this item because I needed something to pick up leaves in my yard and dispose them in a garbage can. It reduces a lot of work. It comes in a box with many parts that need to be assembled so bear in mind you need to read the instructions carefully and examine all the parts in the box to see if everything is there. Once you read the instructions, it snaps together nicely. It works as a blower as well, but it is a pretty heavy item to use as a blower. My suggestion is to use one of those light weight blowers for general leaf blowing and this one for a vacuum. I think there is an extension that one can buy to vacuum out rain gutters as well. This is something else that help a lot.

Black and Decker BV3600 12 Amp Blower Vac

I bought the Black & Decker Blower Vac today, to use for leaf cleanup in the fall, and to use today in place of raking up excess grass cuttings from my last 2 lawn mowings. it worked great, and picked up about .75 acres of lawn debris that was grass clippings that had dried. it did clog up about 2 times for grass that was medium moist, but once I freed up the tube from grass, it was back to work as normal.

it has good power, can be a little heavy toward the end of a long job, but overall I'd recommend if for leaf, and grass clipping pickup. it was easy to assemble, is easy to attach and de-tach the leaf bag. I haven't used the leaf collection tube yet, but will this fall. today I only used the leaf bag, and the grass was shredded really well, so that I had about 4 bags of debris to empty, and I have a big lawn.

great product, I'd recommend.

Leaf Blower And Vacuum Reviews

Leaf Blower And Vacuum Reviews
As a small-framed, over-75 woman I wondered if I'd bitten off more than I could chew with this yard vac, but I was pleasantly surprised on all counts. It was easy to put together (except for joining the vacuum tube to the motor, where I had to apply a light coat of WD-40 with a rag, and a few taps of a rubber mallet). The assembled machine did not feel too heavy at all during the 15-minute job of cleaning the leaves out of my carport and walkway. It was well balanced and easy to manipulate, and the cord did not get in the way as I had feared. (I spent hours looking for a cordless one, in vain.) I used 35 db ear plugs but on low speed I don't think I really needed them. The vac picked up well on the low speed without sucking in the pea gravel along with the leaves. The leaf bag emptied easily, but the narrow strap is better with cushioning on the shoulder (I used a piece of pipe-protector foam). The four stars is because the cloth bag let out a lot of fine dust, so next time I'll try putting a plastic bag over it, unless it interferes with the suction. I feel the affordable price was well worth it, because getting leaves out of tight spaces with a broom is hard, while the BV3600 makes short work of a tedious job.

GreenWorks 24022 12 Amp Corded 2 Speed Blower/Vac REVIEW

Almost immediately returned the vac/blower because it looked used when I received it. (Sidenote: this is the third Green Works product I have purchased from Amazon, and neither of the others looked even slightly used). I am glad I didn't return it. I have used it 5 or 6 times as a vac - which is really the reason I purchased it. It picks up grass clippings, tree droppings and leaves very well. And things are picked up much better when they are dry....wet leaves are hard to pick up.

This is the first vac I have owned, and I love it! It is so much easier to vac up lawn stuff, rather than raking, sweeping, stooping and scooping.

Black and Decker MM675 with a flip-over handle

Black and Decker MM675 with a flip-over handle

I bought my first electric lawn mower when I bought my first house in 2004. It was a Black and Decker MM675 with a flip-over handle. That lawn mower served me well for about 5 years and never let me down. Then, one day I used it when my lawn was too wet and the motor started to smoke as it bogged down on wet grass! I could no longer get the MM675 model, so I went to Home Depot and "upgraded" to the MM1800, the 18" corded mulching/bagging mower from Black and Decker. Immediately I was dissatisfied. It didn't feel as strong as my old mower, was more unwieldy, and had this awful plastic shroud that made it hard to maneuver. Everything on it felt cheap, and two years later, it died on me while mowing grass that was not that thick.

I decided to try to leave the Black and Decker world and see what else I could find.

Bear in mind, I did not consider gas because I don't have the room to keep fuel around and I have a modest size yard. I did not want cordless battery power because I didn't want to have to keep batteries alive (some require charge/discharge cycles all winter) or buy new batteries.

Corded lawn mowers are a fine solution. Many complain about "cord management", but here's the trick. Your lawn never changes. Unless you are a professional landscaper (and if you are, buy a gas mower), then you always mow the same lawn. So the trick is to come up with a mowing pattern where you mow away from the outlet and never trip over the cord. Once you have a pattern, stick with it and you can mow quickly.

Which brings me to the Greenworks 25022 20" electric bag/mulch/side discharge mower. It costs a bit more than the Black and Decker, but what a difference. First, the deck of the mower is metal, not plastic! That means it is thinner than the B&D.

I did some pre-sale research on this and thought I'd share my findings.

Look them up at GreenWorksTools - and the Support line is 888-909-6757, Monday - Friday 9am to 5pm EST.

If something goes wrong with this unit while its under warranty you need to take it to an authorized service center. They WILL NOT permit you to ship the unit to them for repair!!! You will need to call GreenWorks to have them direct you to one. For me, in Battle Ground, WA, the nearest one is in Portland, OR. - 21.4 miles away, 33 minutes according to Google Maps.

The bag is the most common issue with these blowers. There have been complaints about the zipper, and, in fact, that may be a problem with the bags, but the most common problem with the bags is that they tear. Not sure if this is an issue with all blower bags, but after all, they have to be porous to permit air to pass through them which weakens the bag. BUT, if the bag were made of a nylon mesh, they would last far longer, and this seems to be one of those maintenance items that will drive you crazy - like small inkjet containers for your printer, where you constantly have to refill or replace them.

Greenworks sells these bags for $15 - not *too* bad, but where they get you is with the $12.50 flat shipping rate. Anything you order - $12.50. So, make sure you order enough stuff to make the shipping worthwhile!
