 No Mess. No Hassles. Gets the job done September 27, 2004

I never was a cord person. This broom is a move up from my previous Black & Decker Versa Pack system. With a lawn under 2,000 sq ft it does not pay to have noisy messy gas powered equipment. And even thought it is well within range, I prefer not to drag around a cord. This Broom offers an excellent solution. I can not use up the first of two batteries on a standard lawn cleanup.
The only question I have is why does the charger stay on red even when the battery is obviously charged? I do not worry enough to take away form its efficiency.
Exceeded my expectations! September 27, 2004

This is a great little cordless blower. So light that my petite wife loves to use it, and so powerful that I love it. Each battery lasts at least 10 minutes--enough to do my large patio and garage. The battery is easy to insert into the blower and into the charger. This blower sure beats my former cordless blower, and is a lot more convenient than my corded one. It would be perfect if it also had a "low" setting (for tight places, etc.)
So good I bought another one! April 26, 2005

This is a wonderful tool! I live in an oak forest & have two decks, two flights of stairs and a big concrete patio which runs the length of the house (with a screen porch) & a smaller brick lower patio. Spring time means pollen and tree blooms, and Fall means leaves and acorns. Two batteries with this blower gets the whole job done with juice to spare. Total time to do all areas is about 15 minutes or less.
As a petite female I hate dragging out the big blower and cord (it hurts my back and arms) -- so I leave that one to my husband. This one I can get out and blow the upper deck (and yellow pollen) off in less than 5 minutes. The noise level is great and the power output is just right to blow stuff off the deck and patio. When I want to do the whole job -- I just put the extra battery in my pocket and head out. I also use it to sweep out my garage. You can sweep without moving your cars -- since it can blow underneath them. I keep my charged battery in the blower and the second on the charger. When I finish the small jobs, I just swap batteries and never have to worry about them not being charged.
I am purchasing my second unit -- just so I can take it to my lake house to "blow off" my two golden retrievers before they come in the house. YES -- they actually enjoy being blown and you can just see the dust fly off their long coats. Just don't blow it in their faces. I have them jump up on a park bench, do one side, have them turn and do the other -- Then it is good bye pollen, leaves, & dirt and they are clean enough to come in the house.
& FYI -- I still on occasion let my husband drag out the noisy, heavy electric blower -- which does a better job. But for me the little cordless is perfect for the in-between times and is the perfect size and weight for me!
Perfect for those pinpoint quick clean-up jobs, especially around a pool ! December 30, 2005

We live in So. California with lots of cement decks and brick hardscape in both front and back. We also have a fairly large pool with many bougainvillea plants constantly in bloom.
Having used both a gas powered blower (too strong an airstream) and an electric in the past and not wanting to take a chance on dragging the electric cord thru the pool, we really wanted something that could pinpoint the stream a little better so as not to blow half the dust and leaves back in the water. The Black and Decker Cordless Broom fits the job perfectly.
Every morning about 8:am (the cordless blower is relatively quiet) I go out for my routine yard maintenance and in ten minutes the job is done and I then switch batteries from the charger so that the next day, it's ready for duty.
Bottom line, it's simply a wonderful little machine.
Great for light work July 14, 2005

If like me 1 hour after clearing the yard you have a bunch of leaves by the door again, this product is great. I clean my yard with a large regular leaf blower, but what do you know minutes later there are always some more leaves outside my door. This unit is very light and easy to use, i just blow away the leaves from the door every morning and it works great, no more walking broken leaves into my kitchen. The unit also quite quiet about the same as a rechargeable vacuum clean, if anything quieter. It's not suitable for major yard work but if you have small daily task like mine, I can't recommend the unit enough. Suprisingly it comes with 2 batteries which is also nice, recharge time is 3-6 hours according to the manual.
