Black & Decker BV4000 Leaf Hog 12-AMP Electric Blower/Vacuum

Keep your front yard and driveway free of clutter and debris with this powerful and efficient three-in-one product from Black & Decker. The BV40002 functions as a blower, vacuum, and mulcher, so you can collect and condense 10 bags of yard waste into just one bag. Performing at a speed of 230 MPH, the blower works quickly and easily to clear pathways and lawns. The high-performance vacuum features a Vortex system that resists clogs and easily pulls in grass clippings, leaves, and pine needles. It's also a snap to transition from the blower to the vacuum, thanks to straightforward push button operation. For added convenience, the BV40002 boasts truly quiet operation (its maximum rate is only 66 decibels), and comes with a 2-year warranty. Additionally, the bag is easy to empty, so you can get back to work in no time.
Customer Review: faulty product
I too had sparks flying out after a few minutes of use. Afterwards it stopped working. Very disappointed because I have an older version of it and never had such problems. I returned it and went with the Toro model. No problems yet.
Customer Review: Black & Decker Blower/Vac
Great product. I have one already and bought this one for my brother for his birthday.

Air King 3-Speed Pivoting Utility Blower with Grounded Outlets #9550/9552

2 Receptacles with 15 amp breaker; 3 speed motor.1/16 HP, 120V, 1 phase, totally enclosed, ball bearing, permanently lubricated, permanent split capacitor; Black, 10', 3-conductor, SJT type power cord; 11-1/2"L x 9-1/4"W x 11-1/4"H; Side mounted rotary dial switch; OSHA and UL compliant; 6" x 6" blade; 768 - 1220 FPM
Customer Review: Holy Hurricane!
The Air King 3-Speed Utility Blower 9550 is a great product! I use it to cool myself while I exercise on an elliptical trainer. I sat it in a corner...it's quite compact...turned it to low, and wow! Now I set it at medium, and it shoots a jetstream of air right at my head and upper body, from a distance of about eight feet. The head pivots higher than shown in the picture, by the way. The Air King will outblow anything in its price range and also many larger, costlier, and noisier competitors. Furthermore, it is not overly noisy, considering the volume of air involved. My only complaint is the tick-grey plastic casing, but if I were to deduct a star, I would just have to start with six in order to still have five. You could make a lot of money if you took these insides, had the shell designed by Ralph Lauren, had the ad copy written by Vornado, and then doubled the price. I would not have found this product without Amazon...thanks.
Customer Review: So far it is good
I love this style fan. I have owned many of the Stanley model but they are yellow. I wanted the grey/black so I bought this one. The cord is extra heavy duty and very long. But, the unit rattles when I move it though it works perfectly. So far I love the color and operation, but I'm concerned about the rattle when I'm moving it.

Customer Review: Full size power in a small heavy unit
This portable vacuum cleaner has the power of the largest home vacuum cleaners. It is constructed of metal, which makes the unit heavy compared to the weak hand-held rechargable dust-busters, but the portablility of the sheer power has been very useful for us in vacuuming the interior of a car, over the glass top of a large custom fish tank, or for a focused spill of dry material. This is a highest quality, strongly and durably built, serious piece of machinery that hasn't compromised by joining the age of cheap plastic devices. You will have to pay for such quality. It is well worth it if you can afford it and if you need such a capability. Lastly, you will need an extension cord with this unit since the attached cord is less than one foot long.
Customer Review: Its pretty good...
Heres what I like: small compact and portable real strong vacuum for its size real strong blower for its size a lot of attachments if you use them Heres what I dont like: Cord is like 3" without a 3 prong extension you cant use it or even plug it into the wall... only 1 speed for vacuum only 1 speed for blower cleaning the vacuum dust catch is a little messy ....best done outside Overall 4 stars....at first I was bothered by the things I dont like about it but this vacuum has grown on me. I really like the powerful blower.

Poulan Pro 25 cc Gas Blower/Vacuum #BVM200LE

When you're comparing gas blower/vacs, you'll want to make note of three things: air speed, air flow and the unit's weight. All three affect how much of a chore your yard cleanup will be.

On the first count, air speed, this Poulan rates very well, registering 205 mph; you'll find a lot of comparable blowers listed closer to 150 mph. Coupled with that is how much air the engine is actually moving, and of course, the more, the better. This one's rated at an impressive 400 cubic feet per minute, which, for a handheld blower like this, is a mighty lot of volume. Combined, these two details mean you've got great air power for blowing leaves, grass clippings, light debris and other yard waste.

This blower is no heavier than its competitors, but of course, once you flip the switch and start vacuuming leaves, you're carrying that weight with you, albeit with a shoulder strap. It does have a higher mulching ratio than others (16:1, turning 16 bags of leaves into one mulched bag) in its class, turning leaves and grass clippings into a nice, fine mulch for flower beds or just more compact bagged yard waste.

Starting is a bit of a chore; be prepared to pull. But that's par for the gas-powered course. Once it's going, though, it's a pleasure to use, and it beats raking and sweeping.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Customer Review: If it breaks I'll buy another one
Reviews are an intangible thing. What works good for one guy, sometimes won't work for another. With that said I'll throw in my 2 cents. I bought one of these about 3 1/2 years ago. I live in SC on a acre of land surrounded by pine trees. I use this blower almost daily (winter and summer) to blow away the pine needles from the back deck and driveway; also after cutting the lawn. I could not be more happy with it. It always starts on the first or second pull. Not that it needed it, but I changed the spark plug, just to make me feel that I was taking care of it. If it ever fails I would buy another one.

This thing worked ok for maybe one season.It started to leak gas and oil and stopped running.Won't start now at all.JUNK Not very powerful either

Blue Blower 1907 - Heater Unit for Blue Blower - Blue Blower - 1907

Blue Blower-Heater Unit For Blue Blower Works with BB 1000 and BB 3000 Quickly converts your Blue Blower into a lightweight, portable heater. Ideal for personal warmth and comfort and drying applications. 115V AC,
Customer Review: Sparkey
This unit works adequate for providing a small amount of warmth to a specefic area. It does not provide the intense heat of a rdiant heater; but when you are moving air as fast as the Blue Blower does, it would be difficult to heat the air more than moderately.
Customer Review: Good buy
Good buy for the price. Works well and the controls are easily accesable. Works good for assisting in drying joint compound, carpeting, thawing out pipes, etc.etc. The only downfall is the air flow from the fan it's mounted on is reduced.
