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.
Powerful, efficient, and easy-to-use, this three-in-one blower, vacuum, and mulcher helps clear off your yard, patio, deck, and walkways--even wet leaves and twigs are no match for this heavy-duty tool. Operation is simple: to switch from blowing to vacuum mode, just press the push-button. And you'll never have to worry about clogs slowing you down, thanks to the vacuum's Vortex system. Additionally, the BV2500 condenses 10 bags of raked leaves into just one bag of mulched leaves and works quietly, making yard work more pleasant. For added peace of mind, it comes with a 2-year warranty.

Great blower/vac within its design parameters:
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... more info
very good product/:
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.
Not worth:
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....
Decent Blower/Vac:
The only bad thing that I can say is that this is my second one. When we got the original one out this year, it would not start, it appears that the switch is bad. Since leaves were piling up fast, I came here and ordered a new one. The shipping was quick, I was back at the leaves 2 days later.
I have the optional trashcan attachment, it really makes vaccing up leaves less of a hassle.
