Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this sweeper for the express purpose of cleaning grass clippings and dirt from my driveway and gutter after mowing and edging my lawn. Gutter is about 75 feet long and the driveway is about 25x60 feet. For that use, it's perfect. I used it for the first time this morning and it gave a good account of itself. Lots of forceful air movement (for its size) and the battery lasted for the entire job, about 10-15 minutes. Can't tell how much battery life was left -- lithium-ion batteries go with full power until they just quit (but if you pay close attention, the tool/battery will slow down slightly during the final minute). Anyway, this is perfect for light cleaning on a hard surface, which is all I need it for. Ergonomics are good, too: small, good air movement, light weight, easy to hold and maneuver, and relatively quiet. The LBXR20 battery is inexpensive, too, which is a pleasant suprise for a Black & Decker lithium-ion battery. If you're not looking for a heavy-duty blower (think moving piles of leaves around on your lawn in the Fall), and 2-cycle gas engines or dragging around a cord are not your thing, take a look at this sweeper. I was prepared to be disappointed but I'm not.
