Rechargeable Power Cuts the Cords
An included 18-volt rechargeable battery delivers enough power to clear garages, walkways, and decks of any loose debris. Since there are no cords to worry about, you're free to reach the remote corners of your property without needing to search for an available outlet. The battery stows in the charger and is fully charged in eight hours. You can also swap the battery among your other Black & Decker cordless lawn tools.

Less Noise and No Emissions
Black & Decker designed this sweeper to dramatically cut back on noise levels common in many other sweepers or blowers. Less noise helps protect your hearing and makes using the sweeper a much more pleasant experience, for you and your neighbors. There's no messy up-keep found with blowers that use gas and oil, and zero emissions to harm the environment.

Light Weight for Easy Use
At less than five pounds, the cordless broom is light enough for almost any user. Its light weight makes it easier to control where debris goes. The tool also features a large single on/off switch makes operation simple.

Product Reviews

(4 stars) - Cordless Blower Review
I read the other reviews on this one prior to purchase. I wanted something that could provide enough power to clear some leaves from the yard and also be used by family members for the more normal day to day operations (blow deck, blow out garage, blow grass trimmings, etc.). This blower is very light so it is easy to use. It has a large "toggle" type flat switch for easy on/off operation. It is very nice for the day to day work and can be used for some moderate leaf clearing in the Fall. You will need a gas or plug in variety for the heavy duty work. I am happy with the purchase though. It does what I had hoped it would do and the battery lasts long enough between charges to complete these tasks.

(5 stars) - A Clean Sweep
The purchase from Amazon was flawless; the trimmer was on by front porch within three days of the order placement. Amazing. Be careful opening the box. I got a nasty paper cut in my eagerness to rip off the box top with brute force. Inside the box everything was expertly packaged and protected with egg carton quality cardboard shell.
Luckily operating the machine is simple because the direction sheet leaves much to be desired. It displays as many languages as a United Nations guide, but all in small print, all directions overly succinct. What you need to know is on the direction sheet but not necessarily easy to find because of a lack of clarity and organization.

The small pictures provided require the use of a magnifying glass. The pictures aren't annotated with text, just numbered sequentially.

In the Yard

When one buys a yard toy he doesn't really need, especially one that costs a hundred dollars, expectations and hopes are high. To this reviewer's relief, Black and Decker's cordless trimmer exceeds all expectations and far surpasses any preconceptions of performance and utility. Without clear directions I did have a bit of difficulty attaching the tool's handle, but after that little chore it was all uphill.

So far this handy trimmer has performed flawlessly from one end of Spud Acres to its brother. On one charge I trimmed the front beds, the edges of the asphalt driveway, and most of the beds in the backyard. With extra batteries it's a snap to replace a spent battery with a fresh one. With the batteries included with my other Black and Decker cordless yard tools, and the Firestorm 18V battery bought recently, I have 6 batteries for the three tools. Even if a battery is attached to each tool, I still have two fresh batteries on standby on the chargers.


Recommendation

This tool easily rates five stars. It's quieter than my other two trimmers, has more than adequate power for my needs, and is easy to maneuver. At first I thought that the pull down edge guide was a useless gimmick, but it actually works very well. Also the automatic line-feed feature is wonderfully convenient.

NOTES - Be sure to remove tape from the line cutter and the spool. This bit of advice is not mentioned in the directions.
I bought three spools of prewound line when I bought the trimmer, but learned from the directions that one can use bulk line to rearm an empty spool. I like the convenience of using spools ready to use.

(5 stars) - Excellent!
This is a great product. It does exactly as advertised. I get about 15 minutes of power on a full charge. Plenty of time to blow off the front walk, front and side steps and the back deck. Lightweight and easy to handle.

(5 stars) - Blown away
An excellent unit that is much easier to handle than a gas powered or cord unit. Works just like a broom, but much better. Would highly recommend.

(5 stars) - Black and Decker 18v blower
Works great on concrete (all that I need it for) and is actually more powerful than I thought it would be.Great for quick clean ups without having to break out the big blower. I keep it where I would normal keep the broom and my wife even uses it!
