Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker Leaf Hog 12 Amp Electric Blower/Vacuum/Mulcher BV4000Customer Review: Almost perfect Summary: 4 Stars
I recently purchased this blower/vac, and just used it for the first time. It has changed my life. No more spending hours bent over piles of leaves raking them into large trash bags. This thing just vacuums them right up, mulches the leaves into smaller bits, and collects them in a bag for me. All I have to do is empty this small bag into the larger one. The blower function is great too; it's very powerful. It's so powerful, I'm sure it'll take some time to learn to control the leaves better than I am doing so far. Fortunately, the B&D blower vac has a low and high speed, so you can pick the speed that works best for you.
Having said all this, there are a couple of things I think need improvement. First of all, the clips that are used to attach the shoulder strap to the blower vac are cheap. I could see having to buy new ones soon. Also, I am a little concerned about the bag; it seems a little cheap and I'm not sure how long it will last. But if it breaks, I'll just have to buy a new bag assembly kit - I can't live without this anymore. What took me 3 hours to do previously, I can do in 1/2 an hour. Trust me, if you have been behind the times like I was, without a blower vac, move into the 21st century, and bring this with you. You'll be happy you did. It's almost perfect.
Description of Black & Decker Leaf Hog 12 Amp Electric Blower/Vacuum/Mulcher BV4000Leaving nothing behind for the rake to gather, Black & Decker?s LeafHog blower snorts out a whopping 230-mph blow-speed for rooting up wet, matted leaves, heavy piles of debris, and more. That?s right. That stubborn windrow of leaves hunkered down next to the fence line is no match for the LeafHog. Like a handheld hurricane, this baby keeps the leaves blowing fast, even as they pile up high against the friction of the fence line and in those down-sloping corners of the yard. No more scooping debris into awkward garbage bags either, this blower converts to a vacuum with the push of a button. An easy-empty bag design dumps mulched leaves quickly. And, an anti-clog mechanism resists clogging during mulching operations. Knowing that most blowers are so loud they overpower earplugs and cause headaches on extended jobs, Black & Decker hushed down the LeafHog with a low-noise design that operates at a maximum of 66 decibels. Ideal for clearing lawns, driveways, sidewalks, decks, and garages of leaves, grass clippings, and other debris, this blower also features a 10-to-1 mulch ratio that, for example, reduces 10 bags of raked leaves down to 1 bag of mulch for healthier lawns and gardens. Black & Decker covers this blower with a full, 2-year warranty. --Brian D. OlsonWhat?s in the Box Blower, blower attachment, vacuum attachment, leaf bag, adjustable shoulder strap.

The #BV4000 functions as a blower, vacuum, and mulcher, so you can collect and condense 10 bags of yard waste into just one bag. Performing at a speed of 230 MPH, the blower works quickly and easily to clear pathways and lawns. The high-performance vacuum features a Vortex system that resists clogs and easily pulls in grass clippings, leaves, and pine needles. It's also a snap to transition from the blower to the vacuum, thanks to straightforward push button operation. Additionally, the bag is easy to empty, so you can get back to work in no time. For added convenience, the #BV4000 boasts truly quiet operation (its maximum rate is only 66 decibels), and comes with a 2-year warranty.
