Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker BV2500 12 amp Electric Blower/Vacuum/Mulcher
Customer Review: Good Blower, but died in less than a year
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought the Leaf Hog in May 03 and used it for one season of moderate use. The blower worked well but the vacuum had problems. It only worked well with dry leaves, and then only until the bag was about half full. The impeller also wears away very quickly. In April 04, during a Spring cleanup the engine emitted a burning smell and the unit died. I took it to a service center and after a couple of weeks they replaced the unit with a new one (which now includes the attachment that connects to a garbage can). I suspect that the new unit will not last much longer than the first. I cannot recommend a product with a life span of one year of moderate use.Customer Review: Good Mulcher...OK Blower....Burns out after two years
Summary: 1 Stars
Only used 6 times and motor started to burn out. I don't recommend buying based on the number of reviews that has similiar problems. B&D should recall these items.Customer Review: Good Product, Horrible Service
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered the Black & Decker 12-AMP Electric Blower/Vacuum/Mulcher #BV2500, it was $55.56 when i ordered it, and i cose two day shipping for an extra $12.66. Unlike any of the other 200+ items I've ordered from Amazon, for some reason this item required someone to actually be home to sign for the item so I got to sit and watch it not get delivered each day as the price dropped a couple of dollars each day after I ordered it and realized that I could've just bought the item at a local hardware store for a better price and less hassle. As I write this review the current price is at $49.99.
When I finally received the item I soon realized that the package had been re-taped and was obviously USED, with missing packaging, manuals, warranty card and obvious wear and tear on the blower itself. Rather than fight with Amazon's return policy and go through even more hassle I decided to just live with it and take it as a lesson learned.
The blower itself seems really powerful and really moves the leaves around. The mulcher seems a little scary as it actually seems to suck up small twigs and debris better than leaves and makes some pretty disturbing noises as they try to go through.
Customer Review: Good and very affordable
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for an affordable basic blower/vac and found this on Amazon. I am very pleased with its overall functionality. The price tag on this vac/blower was very good and with free shipping it was a very good deal. I am using it often now and I am very satisfied! :-)Customer Review: Good solid product
Summary: 5 Stars
We just purchased this item, based on it being rated the best by Consumer Reports for electric blower vacs. I'm not sure where the negative reviews regarding this item are coming from. The product strikes me as very solid. Further, I had no problems vacuuming up leaves, even on bark mulch, where a lot of twigs and bark got caught up in the vacuum. I checked the impeller afterwards, and it is not worse for the wear. Both the blower and vacuum are very powerful. If you're looking for an electric blower/vac, this is the one you should get.
