BLACK+DECKER Electric Leaf Blower 7-Amp (LB700)

Love the fact it is lightweight. It does an okay job for which it is intended [as described], but it is terribly loud! Surely, it can be manufactured to be quieter? For this reason, I would NOT buy it again, nor am I able to recommend it to others. Wearing earplugs are NOT optional with this one; they're mandatory! Having a 'lightweight' and 'quiet' combination in a leaf blower is truly worth the money; should have paid it [will be doing so.... next time].

Looking for something to just blow out the garage, and porch area. I live in a condo and just need to clean up after the landscaping company cuts the grass.Overall I'm impressed especially considering the price. I purchased it on sale for $27. Star rating is based on value - factoring in price. The nozzle is quite short. Velocity is good. Only has one speed, high, but I'm okay with it. High is all I'd use. In the winter I will use it to clean off the lite snow and the salt as the maintenance simply dumps the salt.If you wash your vehicles it can help remove excess water before towel drying.Anyway this is "proof of concept" If the blower works out, next year I may upgrade battery powered especially for winter use.

This little blower has a decent amount of power actually better than I expected ! You can’t go wrong if you want a light weight blower that gets the job done. Great for grandma/grandpa. You can set it for full power and not have to hold the button down. Bought it on a deal of the day and the extension cord almost cost more than the blower. Good purchase !

I like having an electric motor that does not have the high maintenance required of gasoline engines, and doesn't need me to fuss with recharging a battery or worry about battery safety. For my needs the inconvenience of a cord is much less than the inconvenience of gas or battery units. The power and weight of the unit is great for my aged needs. I would prefer the unit to have a 3-pronged connector AND the cord holder to be large enough so that a 3-pronged plug can actually fit into it. I use a 3-pronged cord and connectors, which means that I must hold the plug into the unit while using it, or the cord will dis-connect.

Excellent light duty corded leaf blower. Picked it up on sale for less than $30.Yes, you do have to buy/supply your own outdoor extension cord, but you don’t have to deal with battery charging.The blower itself is very light weight. It has plenty of power for leaves and minor debris on my patios and driveway. I’ve had it about a month, never had one before. So much faster and quicker than sweeping was.Very satisfied with this handy tool.

I had never used a leaf blower and only purchased this one about a month ago to clean out my garage. My unused garage -although empty- had collected a lot dust, dirt, dead insects and stuff that would have taken me forever to sweep out. I ordered the blower and purchased the power cord from a different website...when you order the blower that's all you get, you don't get the power cord. To make a long story short, this blower pushed all the dirt and dead insects out of my garage along with dust balls making it easy to complete clean up. The blower was affordable -less than $40 b/c it was on sale! I will use this in my garage when it needs maintenance and in the fall season to push leaves from porch. I really like this blower, it wasn't too heavy to hold and it was ... MoreI had never used a leaf blower and only purchased this one about a month ago to clean out my garage.

It shipped and arrived in a box showing what's inside.

Best darn little leaf blower!

I've owned both the bulky corded blower/vacuums and the cordless types and have used the gas powered backpack blowers in the past. I'm in my 70's and with the usual arthritis etc. I now use a landscape service to take care of my yard. The drought this year has brought down leaves early and we just had a big storm that really filled the lawn and deck. The yard guys will charge to pick up a lot of leaves several times and then you pay again for the "Fall cleanup,"I didn't want to pay all that extra money as I can just blow the leaves into the beds and they will take them in the cleanup. That's what they routinely do.My battery powered blower works well but is heavy and the batteries only last about 10 minutes or so. I'm tired of all these expensive battery powered ... MoreI've owned both the bulky corded blower/vacuums and the cordless types and have used the gas powered backpack blowers in the past.

I'm tired of all these expensive battery powered gadgets that don't hold up and are not cost effective to maintain. I found this blower online and it was just what I needed. I don't mind the cord and my 50 foot extension will reach anywhere using several receptacles i have around the yard area. This lightweight machine puts out as much blowing power as the big guys. In just over 2 hours I had everything all blown into the beds so the lawn can be cut without them charging me for blowing them into the same place.This blower is on clearance too so when my military discount was applied i paid just over $30 for it. The battery powered blower and weed wacker are going out to the Vietnam Vet's collection truck. If you need a lightweight hard working blower hurry down before they are gone.

Fantastic leaf blower at a great price!

I just received this leaf blower and it works great with amazing power! I cleared off my 10x10 foot deck (covered in leaves) in about 2-3 minutes. Manual sweeping took at least 10-15 mins and this blower did a much better job! Very impressed with this lightweight blower at a great price ($43) with free fast shipping from Walmart.

GREAT BUY!

I bought this blower for its light weight. (5.2 lbs.) I was looking for something that was lighter than the one we had. (8.5 lbs.) I figured that we couldn't go wrong with this blower for the price. I never expected it to be as powerful as it is. It's very easy to hold for an extended amount of time and powerful enough to move wet leaves. It's considerably cheaper than the blowers that are rated less MPH and CFM. 30 day money back and 2 year warranty. Get it!

Lightweight and powerful - No cord.

Very good purchase. The unit is comfortable to hold and very light. The force of the air is impressive and definitely does the trick. This unit doesn't come with a power cord so factor in a heavy enough extension cord for actual use. Took way too long for delivery to store.
