Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker 18-Volt Cordless Electric Broom Hard Surface Sweeper #NS118
Customer Review: black & decker 18 volt cordless blower.
Summary: 5 Stars
This Black & Decker cordless blower is just what the Dr. ordered. No more sweeping down the drive-way. Now I can blow it off in half the time it took to sweep it. Good product.Customer Review: Just Strong Enough
Summary: 4 Stars
This blower has the perfect balance of weight and power. As it is my first blower, I have found it to be sufficient for blowing grass clippings off the sidewalk after mowing the lawn. It is lightweight and the battery lasts long enough to service my townhome yard. The battery can also be used in the NST2018 trimmer, which is a plus. It probably would not be strong enough to blow around leaves in the fall.Customer Review: Underpowered

I owned the predecesssor to this model which was a 12 volt rechargable which hung on the wall in its recharger. the plastic impeller came apart (bad plastic or design) and tried to buy the part. I couldn't do it so I bought this 18 volt cordless model. it has considerably less power than the 12 volt, which had a battery about twice the size of the 18.volt. I will grant it is a benefit that the 18 volt has a removable battery so I can change batteries when one runs down but even when the battery is fresh, it does not blow as hard as the old model. Only consider this machine if you have a small area to do and nothing very heavy to blow. Customer Review: Great For Small Jobs

I bought this to supplement an old "Weed Eater" brand electric blower. The electric blower has two significant problems. First, if anything it's too powerfull. If you aren't carefull, you can blow the debris all over the place simply dispersing your mess over a slightlylarger area rather than cleaning it up. Second, the darn electrical plug falls out of the tool every 90 seconds to two minutes.
For cleaning off the sidewalk or drive after cutting grass the B&D cordless is a champ - powerfull enough to do the job and no need to run 100' of electrical cord.
In terms of power, this unit does not remove wet grass/leaves well, nor do I think it would do anything to snow (whatever that stuff is ;) ) . The battery will last just long enough to do a quick job. But it lasts long enough for my intended purpose.

The product didn't work. When I took it to the repair store they tested it and smoke came from the motor. They ordered another one for me which arrived in seven days. It works fine, but it is best to have two batteries since the charge lasts only about 10 minutes.
