BLACK+DECKER POWERCOMMAND 40V MAX* Cordless Sweeper, (LSW36)

It is light weight and you don' t have a pull cord. I hate pull cords because as things age, they get harder and harder to start and you get too tired to even try after awhile. It also uses the same battery as our weed wacker that we purchased from Walmart back in the summer so we can have one battery charging while using the other. WE LOVE IT.

I bought this blower when my older Weedeater brand 20v blower's bearings wore out after about 5 years. This blower, while being very close to my previous blower in regards to weight, has a similiar charge time (approx. 35 minutes) but is more powerful and a longer run time between charges. I like having a choice to use this blower in either more powerful mode and more battery life mode. This Black & Decker blower, being a 40v instead of just a 20v i presume, has a battery life of between 30 to 45 minutes, almost twice the battery life per charge of my previous blower. Overall a great blower for the price!

It is very light, surprisingly powerful, and pleasantly quiet. Rather than use a traditional broom on the hardscapes around the house and pool area, which took about an hour, I now use the B&D 40-volt Sweeper and am done in 5-10 minutes. Its less like a tool, and more like a toy, meaning --- it definitely does the work, but its actually fun to use. I'm not even using anything close to full power either. Highly recommend.

It is nice an light which make it easy to use foe older people lik me. It is powerful enough to do a good job and you can change speeds as needed. The battery last and charges fast. Good product.

Does just what is says it will do. Not the power of a gas blower - but it says that on the package. Convenience for those not wanting to play with mixing gas/oil is huge ! (not to mention end of year maintenance) Planning to get the matching trimmer.

My wife and I purchased online a Black and Decker 40 volt battery blower/sweeper and a hedge trimmer. Total cost was about $275. Each machine came with a battery and a charger. After charging the batteries, I used the blower/sweeper to clean leaves off the driveway. The 40 volt battery provides a strong gust of wind that easily moved dry leaves and even some wet ones a day after it rained. The battery ran for a long time before needing to be charged. I used the other battery to finish the job. I am happy with the power and quality of the 40 volt blower/sweeper. We have not yet used the hedge trimmer.

Thought maybe it would be more powerful other than that it works just fine.

Since I ordered and rec. the Black and Decker cordless string trimmer and found it to be outstanding, I decided to order the cordless sweeper. While the string trimmer can hold up to any gas/electric powered models and even exceed them, this sweeper is not as powerful.....it does the job but is not as powerful as gas/electric models.. Therefore, I would give it an average rating.

WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE BLOWER, CAN CARRY AROUND EASILY. WORKS GOOD FOR MY PURPOSE. ALSO HAVE THE BLACK AND DECKER WEED EATER AND THE HEDGE TRIMMER THAT CAN SWAP OUT BATTERIES WITH.

I wish I never bought it. It's weak. Too expensive.
