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.

works great!:
I am on my second blower/vac now. The first died after six years, but I was so happy with the performance of this device that I got another one. The worst part is emptying the full bag. The leaves are packed so tight that it takes a little while to empty it. You have to unzip the bag and shake it hard(or pull some of them by hand in order for the leaves to come out),even though the bag has a large zipper. That's my only complain.
Great Product:
This unit works great, the vaccum has lots of power and the blower will blow everything away. Glad we bought it, we really needed it.

My husband loves this product! It has everything you need to clean up the yard. It arrived on time and brand new.
tough tool that keeps on working:
This product is not perfect, but it is tough! I have had one for more than ten years and I have worked it hard around a Connecticut forest-edge home which also means that I vacuum up a lot of rocks, wood chips and cones. After years of hard work the motor bearings have just started to go but I will say that I got my money's worth many times over. I bought other blowers for a clubhouse and had problems with breakage. Only two complaints. 1) If you accidentally release the head while the impeller is still... more info
