Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker 18-Volt Cordless Electric Broom Hard Surface Sweeper #NS118
Customer Review: Great for Quick Clean-up
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is perfect for frequent light "sweeping". It removes leaves, grass, twigs etc. from any hard surface. I have a long driveway, sidewalk, front porch, and large deck and am able to clean all of these without the battery slowing down (it takes me about 15 minutes to do all of that). According to the instructions, the battery will not "over charge", so when I'm not using the blower I leave the batter in the charger so it is always ready. I had been using a much larger,heavier, and noisier corded blower (which would still be better for blowing leaves on the lawn) but it is such a pain to mess around with a cord long enough to do reach all areas. This little guy is light, quiet, and has no boundaries. I couldn't be more pleased!Customer Review: Reasonable Power for a Battery
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this unit because I wanted a blower but I did not want the noise or pollution of a gas powered unit. The Black & Decker 18-Volt Cordless Electric Broom works well for a portable, compact, battery powered unit. I use it for blowing debris off the driveway and sidewalk after mowing the yard. It is lightweight and quiet compared to the gas powered units (but of course it is not as powerful.) I live on a corner lot and the battery lasts long enough to do the driveway and sidewalk. I would sacrifice weight and size for more power and a longer lasting charge.Customer Review: Satisfied

This elecric broom does exactly what I bought it for. To clean the walkway, porch and garage. I'm satisfied. I would have given it 5 stars if it was a little more powerful and the battery lasted longer but I'm still happy with the product. If you are looking for a blower to move leaves off the lawn you need a much more powerful blower. I have a Toro corded blower that works great.Customer Review: Nice Light Duty Blower
Summary: 5 Stars
While I would recommend waiting for this to be on sale or finding the lowest retail price before purchasing , this unit does a very nice job. It's not real strong and the battery doesn't last too long but it's great because it starts right up (unlike the more powerful gasoline pull start blowers) and is very light and easy to handle. I very much enjoy using this product. An extra battery means you'll be able to do longer jobs. Customer Review: Good on solid surfaces
Summary: 4 Stars
Lightweight, relatively quiet, and does a good job of sweeping the concrete porch and patio without the drips, smell, and "leaf tornado" effect of our more powerful 2 cycle gas blower. As advertised, not very effective on leaves clinging to grass, flower beds, and other uneven surfaces. Beware: Many reviews indicate the unit comes with two batteries - B&D has apparently downsized packaging and value to only one.
