BLACK+DECKER Leaf Blower, Leaf Vacuum and Mulcher 3 in 1, Backpack Blowers for Lawn Care,250 mph Airflow, 400 cfm Delivery Power, Reusable Bag Included, Corded (BEBL7000)

I had the prior version of this product abd LOVED IT, except for the bag falling apart every 2 years (Cheap/bad zipper). Black and decker fixed that issue on this unit. The only thing that could be changed would be a bigger colle tion bag, but that would make it cost more. I took the open end and attached it to rung that hold the 50 gal contractors bags and when it fills I just slid on another bag. Mulches great, for a $80. Dollar electric machine, does everything I need it to do. GREAT PRODUCT.

My neighbors in The Villages, Florida, warned me against buying the BLACK+DECKER 3-in-1 Leaf Blower, Vacuum, and Mulcher, insisting it would not perform well and that the mulcher would likely chip or break. They could not have been more wrong, and I am thrilled to prove it. Living here means battling magnolia trees that shed leaves constantly, year-round, turning my yard into a relentless mess. This backpack blower has transformed my cleanup routine. The blower clears piles quickly, the vacuum handles the debris effortlessly, and the mulcher powers through thick leaves, producing neatly compacted bags for easy disposal. There is no chipping or breaking, just consistent, reliable performance designed for Florida's humid, leafy challenges. Having tried cheaper cordless tools that failed after one season, this has become my favorite yard tool. It is comfortable to wear, simple to switch between modes, and powerful enough to tackle large lots with ease. For anyone in a leaf-heavy area like The Villages, ignore the skeptics and get this. It is worth every penny for the time and effort it saves. Five stars.

I recommend this vacuum for dry leaves and grass, but it doesn't have enogh suction to pull leaves that are burried in the grass. If the grass and leaves are wet it doesn't pick them up very well. It also doesn't handle dirt well. I say this becuase when I edge my sidewaek, some dirt comes out of the groove the edger makes and this vacuum doesn't seem to have enough power to suck up the dirt left on the sidewalk; it only works well on grass and leaves. IF the vacuum picks up dirt, the dirt collects around the impellerinside the round plastic Orange housing and eventually slows down the impeller, so you'll need to remove the lower Black vacuum adapter and use your finger (or something) and get all the collected dirt out from around the impeller.

I purchased this for the vacuum function and it works great. We live in a very small neighborhood and I didn’t wanna just blow my leaves into the neighbors yard. This is a much more effective way to do it in my yard looks a lot better as a result, it’s easy to use and has enough power to suck up all the leaves I have in my yard.

OK, I don' know why they keep trying to make these tools do two things: vac and blow leaves. None of them ever do both jobs well, so face it, we all have (or want to have) one tool that vacuums the leaves and one that blows them. With two tools it also keeps you from having to mess with the always frustrating process of switching the tool from one mode to the other. OK, on to what this is good at. This is the BEST leaf vac I've ever used!! I had a Toro, which is still highly rated, but I wasn't super happy with it. Needless to say, when it died, I wasn't all that upset. I actually went and bought the new Toro model hoping it would be better. It wasn't. The ergonomics are all wrong and carrying the bag that's low to the ground is a pain in the you-know-what! Sooooo, when I saw this cool blower/vac/mulcher, I was very excited. Obviously, since it comes with a backpack, they put more emphasis on the vac & mulching aspects, and it shows. This is a terrible leaf blower in my opinion, which is why I have a separate blower for that and that is all it does and it does it quite well. This does not, but, boy does it suck up leaves like a guy at a hotdog eating contest!! How it does that so well without picking up all of my rocks, I don't know, but it does and I am thrilled. My Toro was never this good at picking up leaves, but seemed to always pick up rocks. Go figure. On top of the good suction, the backpack is really a wonderful improvement over most setups. You don't even realize it's full because the weight is so easily carried on your back. This has improved the process of cleaning up my leaves so much, I hardly notice that there's a cord. Of course, if I could find a cordless model with this much suction AND a backpack I would be on that like flies on Grandma's apple pie, but I don't see that happening soon. I also have the B&D 40-volt battery powered sweeper vac and it's great for what I need it for (picking up cotton wood fluff every spring), but it can't pick up a leaf to save its little life! So, having just the cord to drag around and not the heavy bag as well is a HUGE improvement. Now, I had really wanted a vac with a metal impeller and this one is plastic. I'm guessing it might not last as long, but for only $69, I don't really care if I have to replace it every few years. My Toro had a plastic impeller and actually lasted over 8 years, so maybe the metal blade isn't that big a deal. My headline says this is a beast, and it is. At first I thought, dang, this is heavy! I'm a 5'1" female, so the weight has the potential of being a real drag getting stuff done and not running out of gas (me, not the vac, it's electric, remember?). :) But despite the somewhat hefty weight, it's so balanced you don't notice it. It also has an extra handle to spread out the weight even more. Brilliant! I don't write a lot of reviews, but I just had to write about this vac. I absolutely love it and it's the best $70 I've spent in a long time. For the people who said the bag leaks all over the place — not to be mean, but I'm quite baffled how you could not figure this out. You just have to roll the end up a good 3 times or more before you buckle it (I always roll it 3 times). This is so simple I think a 5-year old could figure it out. There are some not so smart people in the world though, and some of them obviously bought this tool. Hopefully you have figured it out by now.

THis machine is great. Blower is strong and the vacuum is powerful. The collection bag holds quite a bit as it mulches as it sucks. The opening is large enough to empty the bag without a great deal of effort. Works much better is leafs are dry. Highly recommend. The only pain is the switchover from blower to vac. You need to dismantle and reassemble with new pieces and it can be tough somedays to get the blower attachment off to attach the vac.

This works great as a mulcher. I would have given 5 stars, but just before the 2 years was up, it stopped working. Nothing happens. I tried to contact Black and Decker for a repair within the 2 year time frame, and they wouldn't get back to me. When it did work, it sucked up leaves and mulched them pretty small. It didn't suck up the rocks I have in my yard, so that was awesome, especially because lots of leaves get in the rocks.

Requería una trituradora de hojas y una sopladora para poder limpiar varios metros cuadrados con 5 árboles de más de 7 metros de altura ( una pesadilla de hojas) . Pros: En cuanto a trituradora para hojas normales funciona excelente, tiene buen poder de succión. La idea de la mochila, ergonómicamente es genial, te permite cargar sin problemas las hojas sin importar el peso Aunque las aspas son plásticas no ví daño después de succionar y hacer picadillo hojas y ramas secas para llenar una bolsa de 50 kilos. La opción de sopladora funciona excelente para juntar rápidamente las hojas en un solo sitio, fué una bendición el usarla. Contras: Si requieres triturar ramas grandes no es la mejor opción; a pesar de que si puede triturar ramas de menos de 1 cm de grosor sin problemas , no es fácil aspirar ramas, otro punto malo es que le cuesta succionar las hojas de más de 17 cm ,aunque ya que las absorbe las tritura cómo mantequilla. Fuera de esas limitantes el equipo funciona muy bien . ***Es necesaria usar cubrebocas y tapones de oídos al usarlo ya que es un equipo que produce muchísimo ruido y algo de polvo. Nota: Tiene sensores de seguridad en los conectores, si algo esta mal conectado no va a funcionar el equipo. Yo no podía encenderlo la primera ocasión que lo armé, hasta pensé enviarlo a garantía recién lo saqué de la caja. Después volví a desconectar todo y conectarlo y funcionó perfectamente, quedé 🤡 con mi esposa por lo quisquilloso. En general puedo decir que funciona y funciona muy bien , excelente producto y calidad

A mi no me sirvió tanto ya que no absorbió bien las hojas del pino que se quedan embarradas en el pasto y hay que comprar una larga extensión para usarla además las instrucciones para soplar y aspirar no son claras pero creo en jardines más pequeños puede funcionar y hojas más grandes si las aspira bien en lo personal no me sirvió mucho pero es buena

Lo que me impresionó es la fuerza con la que aspira las hojas y basuras, buena calidad en los materiales. Lo malo es que el sistema par cambiar de modo soplador a aspiradora está un poco complicado al principio, ocupas introducir un desarmador para presionar el botón para destrabar el adaptador, creo que se puede mejorar ese diseño, igual la vibración del motor hace que la primera vez te duelan los brazos como si hubieras hecho ejercicio

Muy práctico y potente

No aspira fácilmente hojas grandes, tienes que acercarte demasiado, es muy pesada, ensamblar y desensamblar los tubos y componentes es difícil, necesitas un adaptador para poder llegar a la profundidad de su clavija, en general un producto con varios problemas de funcionamiento y diseño.
