BLACK+DECKER 3-in-1 Electric Leaf Blower, Leaf Vacuum/Mulcher, Up to 250 MPH, Premium Disposable System, Corded, 12-Amp Handheld Lightweight Corded Electric Combo (BV6600)

I absolutely love the BLACK+DECKER 3-in-1 Electric Leaf Blower. Before buying this one, I had already used two different leaf blowers — including a cordless model from another brand — and they just couldn’t handle my yard, especially with the amount of leaves that fall from my big trees. The cordless simply wasn’t strong enough. I eventually borrowed an older BLACK+DECKER blower & mulcher (BV2800) from a friend, and it worked much better than the cordless I had. After returning it, I decided to stick with the BLACK+DECKER brand and upgrade to a newest corded 3-in-1 version. And honestly, I am not disappointed. This tool is powerful, both in blowing and mulching, and it has made yard cleanup so much easier. A bonus is the big mulching bag! However, the only regret I have at this point is that it doesn’t mulch the leaves as finely as the older BLACK+DECKER model I borrowed. The mulching still works, but the older one did a slightly better job breaking the leaves down into smaller pieces. One more thing to note: it doesn’t work very well with wet leaves. If it has recently rained, it’s best to wait until the leaves dry before using the mulcher. It performs much better that way. Overall, this is a reliable, strong, and versatile tool that really gets the job done. Highly recommended!

This thing works great. The metal fan blade is key. I had one with a plastic blade and it wore out quickly. I use it for vacuuming leaves that the landscaper misses. It is extremely powerful and the vacuum pipe is long so I don't have to bend over while using it (I'm 6' 2"). It chops the leaves well and saves me having to fill a bunch of leaf bags. It is very sturdy and well made. Great value for the money.

The vacuum piece of this equipment works well. As noted in many reviews, the bag is the worst feature as it does not last long. The motor is very powerful and we were able to do a quarter acre with 4 massive oak trees without it jamming (some of the leaves were wet underneath). We had been struggling with leaves this year as the trees shed more than usual with the hot/cold/hot/cold weather. The bag ended up ripping in the spot next to the top where the leaves blow into the bag. After 2 days of use, it was worn through and ripped. The blower does the job really well, you will just need to buy an additional 2-3 cloths bags to get through your leaf season. Overall, the price of the blower is under $100, so with a few extra bags at $20 a piece, it's a good solution and much better than raking. It does a good job of mulching the leaves and saved us on leaf bags. We were able to get probably 2 times the amount of leaves in a bag vs. straight raking. This is a good solution for us, just wish the cloth bag was a better product. B&D seems limited in what type of bag they can connect as it has to breathe, so they can't have too durable a material for the bag. We did not use the plastic throw away bags and we did not use the blower feature. It got 4 stars instead of 5 because of the bag wearing quickly. Again, we knew this going is because of other reviews so we weren't too surprised when it happened. Buy some extra cloth bags and you'll be happy.

This is a great tool. We recently moved into a house where the yard has a bunch of trees. There is no way we could keep up with all the leaves, so we invested in this helpful device. My favorite features: * The various speeds make it easy to quickly suck up leaves off my lawn or get a more gentle suction if I'm trying to get weeds out of rock beds or areas where I don't want it to suck up the ground layer. * It is tough enough to grind up small twigs (not sticks) * I love that the bag can be removed and fits inside a regular trash bag so that I can easily dump the leaf particles into the trash without spilling * The leaves are really chewed up small, so I can suck up a LOT of leaves before I need to empty the bag. * There is a strap on the bag that I wear over my shoulder while vacuuming up leaves to help hold up the weight of the contents of the bag. It is comfortable, and even as a somewhat small woman, the weight of the bag when full is not too much. This device has helped make our yard clean-up much easier and more efficient. I was skeptical when my husband purchased it, but now I am a believer. I am getting rid of leaves that have been stuck in bushes and corners of the yard for way too long!

Having a yard with a bunch of shrubs, I quickly got sick of trying to rake up tiny leaves - i needed a vac unit! Since this is a wired unit, the power is decent, but there are a couple cons that prevent this from getting a great review: - The blade portion of the unit cannot be disassembled, and the plastic tube can quickly get clogged with anything viney (ivy) or damp (rotted leaf buildup). When clearing an area for the first time, I had to stop several times to try to clear out the matted up areas, which are too small for me to get my fingers into (after unplugging it -I'm not crazy!). The rotted leaves I could get, they were wet and became like mud inside there - however, it tangled up on some small branches (1/8 in diameter) from the shrubs I had trimmed. They were too long, I guess, and got tangled up inside the unit. - There are three or four pieces you have to carry around to convert from a blower to a vac. There's nowhere to store these things, so you end up with a pile of plastic parts. Black & Decker should try to think of a spring-loaded cover that isn't removable, or some way to mount the pieces to the unit like a vacuum cleaner normally does. - It does look a little too sci-fi-ey with the giant vacuum tube being shiny black and lines carved into it. I felt like I could paint it white and go trick-or-treating as the Flamethrower Stormtrooper from Star Wars: The Force Awakens in this thing. Pros: - it totally sucks. in a good way, usually (outside of the con above). - the blower has a swivel attachment that really does help get matted up stuff off the ground. - vacuum bag holds pretty well, easy to dump out the grinded up foliage. Reduces the room it takes up in the trash can quite a bit, so I can get more out of it.

Just got this today in time to process my leaves before it snows. Set it up first as a blower and clreared off all the old leaves off the patio roof. Worked very well to blow them off, one side to the other with lots of strength and not that noisey. Then switched it to the vacuum mode and was surprised at how easy it was (used a wood chop stick to open the port rather than a tool like suggested). The vacuum worked excellent. Processed all the leaves from the roof into the black shoulder bag and that worked very well and it mulched them beautifully. I bought the 6600 mulching model because they were out of the non mulcher because I did not think I needed it and I thought it would not work that well, but I love it. It mulches really well, the shoulder bag works really well and made quick work of all the leaves with no clogs. I was VERY impressed. I bought some other after market add-ons so that I could bag the leaves straight from 3-in-1, but the mulch looks so good I may just send them back. I love this machine, it ended up exceeding my already high expectations.

I bought this item this past April (2025) to mulch the leaves on my lawn left over from the previous fall. I was hoping it would prove a sturdy, trustworthy B&D tool to last me many fall leaf-dropping seasons. This blower has a very useful feature -- a sort of rake attachment to lift compacted leaves when you are mulching. This makes the leaves easier to vacuum up into the mulching tube. Unfortunately, this attachment was made of flimsy plastic, and the flexible "hinge" that connected it to the blower broke on its first outing. The blower itself -- which is corded, not battery-operated -- worked well, though, and after finishing the mulching job, I stored it away in my garage for the fall. When I took it out this fall, as the trees defoliated, I could not get it to work. Somehow it had died after one use. I have contacted B&D about this problem and await their suggestions. I own many B&D tools -- ones that I have used for decades without major problems. I'm hoping the issue is fixable. I would have no problem taking this thing apart and doing my own troubleshooting, but I have hesitated to do so because that is not what one would expect to have to do after just one use. Most purchasers, I suppose, would prefer not having to do that to keep a new tool functioning..

Can’t decide Toro or Black and Decker. Easy BLACK AND DECKER with the bag bar instead of zipper. I am becoming an expert on Vacuum/Blowers. #1 Black&Decker(BD) lasted maybe 10 years. It was small, light and not very powerful. The on/of switch wore out on it. I repaired it myself several times and is was a Rube Goldberg of turning the machine on and off. A simple task designed in a complex manner. BD #2 LH5000, ooh what an improvement in the power department. I have pink clover ground cover and need to suck the tree leaves out of it. This would pickup stuff like hibiscus buds that fell off, that the old one would not. Just terrific, but it only lasted 3 years. I had sewn up the bag several times where it connects to the machine, put duct tape around it for added support. But in the end it was the on/off was the issue. There is a tiny slot that either the vacuum or blower pieces need to push it to allow it to go on. A safety switch Not too much in and not too little in though. Became a fidgety machine with a leaking bag, so I replaced it with a Toro. Huge mistake, not only is the same rated wind power Toro not able to pick up what the Black and Decker could do, but the bags last weeks, not YEARS. I am talking bag one lasted maybe 10 uses, but was tearing after 2 uses. The zipper gave way and became useless. The next bag lasted 3 uses and the zipper broke. Toro is absolute JUNK. Thin bags with zippers from light spring jackets. So the Toro lasted 8 months and is now permanently the blower and the new BD is the vacuum, so I don’t have to change the tooling. So get the BD and get the one with the bar on the bag instead of the zipper, because it will not break. Also, if you are dragging the bag on the ground it is the hard plastic instead of the cloth and zipper that take the abuse. You have to get the bag bar. The downside is after a few hours in the miserable heat the last thing you do is empty the bag, and it takes some strength sometimes to get the bar to slide off. Its okay to say FORGET IT. Go take your shower and empty the bag tomorrow. Mostly it is fine though. Its powerful and well designed.

We bought this to replace a Poulan gas blower/vac, which, pardon the pun, sucked. One of the best buys I have ever made, no kidding. We have a dog run filled with cedar chippings and they often spill out onto the lawn, this machine sucks em up and turns em into sawdust, the thing has amazing power, by virtue of the fact that is mains powered, that's right you need a pesky extension cord to use it, but what they neglect to mention on all those battery powered units they have much less power available and the batteries make em HEAVY. This thing is pretty lightweight and easy to handle, the vac port is well designed and it gets right up to the edge with a flat section at the front. Only drawbacks, the compostable bags are a little flimsy, although I don't expect they had 250mph splinters in mind when they designed the bag, its noisy and the base plates take a little getting on and off which I expect will improve in time. Remember to wear hearing and eye protection (and a mask if you are in a dusty area) and you will be good to go! Thoroughly recommend!

Funciona muy bien, pero es demasiado ruidosa. No he tenido otras para comprar, pero en la reseña decían que no hacía mucho ruido.

This leaf blower is awesome. It has the power to do everything I needed it to do. From sidewalks to walkways and driveways. I used the vacuum part to clean leaves on a couple of carpeted porches. I even used it to clean some eves troughs. It did an amazing job on all of them. It's a keeper. I haven't tried the mulcher yet but as soon as it dries up a bit. I have some gardens that need to be cleaned. Update Dec 19, 2025 I had the chance to use this unit as a mulcher/collector for leaves and debris . It did an awesome job. Never clogged. mulched everything I wanted it to, did an awesome job. I even found another unconventional use for it. We had a couple light fluffy snow falls so far. I used it to blow the snow off the sidewalks, walkways and the car. Did a really good job. Would I recommend it....absolutely yes.

With everything rated 4 stars you'd think I was just being lazy, but thats not the case. I bought this product over others because of its good ratings, metal impeller and brand recognition, although B&D sometimes isn't the best bang for the buck. I also bought it to vacuum up leaves rather than just blow them around. Blowing them around doesn't make them go away. The motor is variable speed. Perhaps its of value in blowing, but as a vacuum I run it full speed anyway. The unit assembles without tools and it can be modified or reconfigured without tools. The collection bag is big enough but not too big to be too heavy. I've yet to have it jam, so I know it will chew up small branches. I'm of average height and I think I'd want the vacuum tube maybe 3" longer. As it is, its OK to use but its use does affect your posture. Connecting your extension cord to it can be frustrating. There is a "sweet spot" where it connects just fine. This is not unique to this unit, but I've fiddled with it for over 5 minutes to make a connection. In action, it slurps up leaves pretty good and the collection bag is easy to unload. I don't know how it works on wet leaves. Thats something I think I'd avoid doing anyway. Seems to me a good way to trash the collection bag through mold. As a lawn vacuum it works well - it will slurp up leaves without the tube directly on them. Suction power is good. Indications are its a cost effective unit for what I need it to do. Being a B&D I assume parts are not an issue for years to come. Yeah.... I'm happy with what it does and how it does it.

L’aspirateur à feuilles fonctionne très bien. Je l’ai acheté pour ramasser les feuilles et les petites hélicoptères qui tombent sur mon terrain synthétique. J’aime qu’il ait plusieurs vitesses. Le ventilateur, qui est en métal, est beaucoup plus robuste que mon ancien en plastique dur. Il peut également souffler. Il vient avec plusieurs bouts. Je recommande
