Works great for small 10 minute jobs. I find that the charge runs out sooner that expected and then blowing power is reduced.
If that,s what you need look elseware It was not designed as a yard leaf blower. The black & Decker elec broom is jst that. It,s fine for blowing dry grass and leaves off of hard surfaces.
We have a more powerful electric blower for the big jobs, but this is great for just cleaning up after mowing, or blowing off the patio when we're getting ready to barbeque. The battery doesn't have a terribly long life, so you do have to work fairly quickly if you're going all the way around the house after mowing. Love the cordless. So nice not to have to haul around the big one and deal with the cord, and it's light weight enough that you can even put the kids to work (good luck with that). Good product for the price; works great for what we had in mind; just make sure you charge the battery after each use. So much more convenient, I find myself cleaning off the patio more often. Great for cleaning up hard surfaces, but probably not enough power for the leaves in flower beds.
Yes, the battery does wear down in 10-15 minutes, but so what, I just ordered an extra battery and now have plenty of juice to do it all. I got tired of sweeping and/or washing our large concrete patio, driveway and garage floor, so decided to try the B&D 18V battery powered sweeper. So far I love it. I hear others complain about battery life but can't rate that yet as the sweeper is only a month old. This thing works great. I takes me about 10 to 15 minutes to do what used to take about an hour.
It worked really well and I had the pinwheels and stems from my maple trees plus grass clippings all over. I know that I will be cleaning my areas more often now since I don't have to haul a cord around. I wanted to wait till I used this product for the first time. There was plenty of battery power so I won't have to order another battery, I wasn't sure how long the battery would last but there was no problem. I would recommend this product to anyone. I just love it. It is wonderful to blow off my patio, driveway, and front sidewalk without pulling a cord around.
