Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After having this for a season I have to say it's just not B&D quality. The battery is not an issue. It lasts and charges quickly so no issue with that. The problem is that it's just so weak, no power. It'll barely blow grass from the driveway. Come fall, don't even think about moving a leaf. Even with the power at full (6 for this model?) it just can't muster the power to move even the smallest job. In addition the air intake will clog all of the time. If you are right handed the air intake is on the left side of the unit so it pulls in your clothing as you carry it. So, you have to hold it at least 6-8 inches away from you body. Very uncomfortable. So if you need this to do any blowing or even moderate sweeping, look elsewhere. Hope this review was helpful.
