Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker LH4500 12 amp 2-Speed Electric Leaf Hog Blower / Vacuum with Leaf Bag

Customer Review: A GREAT TOOL
Summary: 4 Stars

I purchased the latest LH4500 after my older Leaf Hog broke (motor gave out), with the hope that the newer model would perform even better. I read reviews of the latsest LH4500 which overall seemed to promise a much-improved product.

After using the new LH4500, I can say that it has much better performance, and makes moderate leaf vacuuming/shredding actually sort of fun.

My old Leaf Hog would jam-up frequently, and the non-metallic chipper blade had trouble mulching debris, whereas the newer model has run faultlessly the entire time. The new model that I purchased has the metal chipper, and I could tell that it really does make a big difference in helping the Leaf Hog to much more easily chew through leaves.

In a perfect world, I would have B&D better insulate the handle with foam or rubber to reduce vibrations when the unit is run on "high". After prolonged use, the vibrations traveling up through the handle get to be a little "wearing", but not enough to disuade me from continuing to use the tool.

I would HIGHLY reccommend using the BV-006 Trash Can adapter tube, because the portable bag that comes with the unit is only good for the absolute lightest jobs.

Note: I had to modify my old BV-006 collection tube to fit the new LH4500, because B&D changed the tube connector fittings on the new LH4500. I tried to find an adapter that is "supposed" to exist, but the B&D customer service site has no adapter shown. I contacted B&D several times to get an adapter to hook-up my older BV-006 Trash Can Collector tube and the new LH4500, but after several email exchanges, I never did get the adapter I needed, so I just modified the old BV-006 end-fitting to attach to the new LH4500. I guess the latest BV-006 Trash Collection Tubes that are now shipping have an adapter.

Overall, the LH4500 runs like a champ.

The LH4500 is a GREAT-MUCH-IMPROVED tool, and I HIGHLY recommend buying it.

Description of Black & Decker LH4500 12 amp 2-Speed Electric Leaf Hog Blower / Vacuum with Leaf Bag

The Black & Decker Leaf Hog Electric Blower/Vacuum adds versatility and power to your tool collection. As a blower, the Leaf Hog can generate up to 240-mph air speed to clear matted leaves or sweep hard surfaces. Switch to the vacuum function, and the mulching mechanism devours and deposits up to 16 bags' worth of debris into the included rear bag.


The mulching mechanism can reduce debris that would have filled 16 bags enough that it fits in the single rear bag. View larger.
Clears All Types of Debris
Sweep your patio, workshop, or walkway clean, or use the 240-mph air speed to make quick work of wet, matted leaves in your yard. The Leaf Hog has a dual-speed switch to decrease air flow when you're working around delicate flower beds, patio furniture, or automobiles in your garage.

Gather and Mulch Leaves and Trimmings
The Leaf Hog converts easily to a 385 CFM lawn vacuum when you want to collect loose leaves, twigs, and grass clippings. The internal mulching mechanism grinds everything down, compressing as much as 16 bags of debris down to one. The included bag detaches easily to empty your mulch in flower beds, gardens, or compost piles.

Lightweight for Comfortable, All-Day Use
An included shoulder strap adds extra support when you're using the Leaf Hog. Weighing in at just 8.1 pounds makes the blower/vacuum light enough for anyone to use for extended periods.

Low Noise Levels from the Motor
Power comes from a 12 Amp motor than runs on electricity--no need to mix oil and gasoline when you're ready to work. The electric motor greatly reduces the roar that's common with gasoline blowers to protect your hearing and reducing noise pollution.

The Electric Leaf Hog Blower/Vacuum is covered by a two-year warranty.

What's in the Box
Leaf Hog Electric Blower/Vacuum, tube with LeafBlaster nozzle, vacuum attachment with tube, leaf bag with zipper, adjustable shoulder strap, air concentrator
