Customer Review: Leaf Hog Review
This was my first time to use Amazon.
Very easy to order and the product arrived just a few days later, the week before Christmas.
Can't beat that!
Customer Review: Black & Decker Collection Bab
These bags work well with a few reservations. The last one I purchased did not have the canvas material properly trimmed around the plastic connector and therefore it would sometimes be very difficult to remove it if the canvas got caught in the plastic connector. They also need to put an industrial strength zipper on the bag. The one they use looks more like the type used on a pair of ladies shorts. The zipper on my last one tore loose at one end and in the middle as well. I was able so use the last replacement bag I purchased but it was a lot more trouble to work with than the original bag thet came with my blower due to the problems mentioned above.

Customer Review: Not as good as I hoped
I have 6 cats so you can imagined the hair I have floating around. After reading reviews on various websites it seemed like a good tool. It works ok but does not get all the hair out of my carpets. Easy to clean but my large vacuum works much better. It is fine for light duty work but don't expect miracles!
Customer Review: package damaged, but not product
The vacuum works great, light weight and long cord. I was concerned because the products package was quite damaged inside the Amazon box (had come with other items ordered).

Black & Decker Blower/Vacuum Leaf Collection System

Black & Decker Blower/Vacuum Leaf Collection System #BV-006
Featuring straightforward, user-friendly operation and an ultra-efficient design, this leaf collection system from Black & Decker makes it quick and easy to keep your yard tidy and debris-free. The #BV-006 is compatible with all Black & Decker vacuum bags and requires absolutely no tools: you simply attach the connecting device to a standard-sized trash can (not included) to catch the leaves. It's that easy! A plastic tube and cover ensure durability, while the drawstring makes attachment a breeze. For added convenience, the included 8-foot connecting hose tackles up to a 16-foot circular area--and you don't even have to move the trash can.
Customer Review: Difficult to use, particularly in cold weather
The B&D vacuum extension is not very effective. The primary issues are:
1. The hose is too short to allow the flexibility of moving around without constantly moving the leaf collection container.
2. The hose needs some sort of clamp to hold it in place on top of the flexible container cover. It tends to pull out of the cover and blow leaves in unintended paces.
3. The hose is fairly stiff in cold weather (32 degrees). This aggravates the problems listed in 1 and 2 above. All of these problems may be resolved by use in warm weather, but leaf collection is normally associated with cold weather.
Customer Review: Great Idea but cheap material
I tried the product the day I got it and was very satisfied with the job it did however, like a review I read before I ordered it the hose is made with very cheap, thin plastic. Within 15 minutes of using it, a twig poked thru the plastic. I guess I will have to start wrapping it in duct tape to toughen it up.

Blower Tube and Nozzle; Sweeper Nozzle; High Velocity Nozzle with Wet Leaf Scraper; Vacuum; Vacuum Handle; Vacuum Bag; Vacuum Tubes; Mulcher
Customer Review: It does work in Virginia!!!!
This is my second unit. The first one would not run at full throttle without bogging down. At half throttle, ran good but not enough air flow. Seemed like a mixture adjustment but did not have the special tool to adjust. It started real easy by following the directions on the casing. CPO sent another, with a return ebill (via email)
The second unit ran great, good power, lots of air velocity, easy to start, cold, hot, and in-between.
The fellow who has the sticking choke problem, note that the choke, does not return manually when you push the lever back. the choke pops off when you press the trigger/throttle, at least on both the units I received.
Both units looked almost brand new, maybe a little shelf wear and a short run to check it out. A few minor scratches on the bottom.
The manual leaves something to be desired!!! It is obviously for a slightly different model than the one received. The main difference is in the starting procedure and the air filter (mine does not have one). Big NOTE here, follow the starting procedure on the casing. The manual and one of the copied pages says hold the throttle while pulling the starter. The other copied page says DO NOT hold the throttle (the one I have). If you hold the throttle, the choke will pop off and you will never get it started cold.... Mine started real easy with choke on, primer bulb 7 to 8 times, pull starter, wait a few seconds after starting then press the throttle. Started the first time on the 3rd pull. The first pull thereafter hot, with no throttle or choke, the 2nd or 3 pull when warm but not hot, with no throttle or choke.
The lack of an air filter is a real concern. The carb has a very course mesh screen over the inlet which is fine for hands, feet, and big leaves, but not dust. Blowing leaves or sucking them up is a very dusty job. All that dust will be sucked into the engine and do nasty things to the pistons, bearings, and cylinder walls. I will find or make a filter to put in it. Hopefully, no carb adjustment or such will be necessary.
I will be using it heavily in about a month or so when the weather permits. If I find problems, I will so report here.
Customer Review: Reconditioned Ryobi Blower/Vacuum & Mulcher
Shipment arrived faster than expected, but I was very disappointed in the packaging. All of the pieces were loose in the box with only 2 paper size sheets of bubble wrap. The motor assembly had punched a hole in the shipping box, but I did not find any evidence of damage, and all the parts were there.
Starting was incredibly difficult every time. At first I thought it would never run after 5 minutes of priming and pulling. I looked for a cause and found out the choke was sticking in the on position. The choke assembly was very stiff and did not return to a normal running condition after moving the lever that engages it. I ended up moving it to the run condition with my finger.
Once I got it running, I found that the tube that mounts to the main motor easily falls off during use. The tubes do not lock in place, and when they come off it kills the engine. Starting it back up was a chore because I had to choke it to get it to start, and then had to deal with the sticking choke.
The manufacturer should be ashamed of themselves. I did not bother to complain because they likely would not care given the condition of this item. I will repair the choke myself so that the machine can be used as it is intended to be.
Needless to say, I am very disappointed in the packaging and poor quality. This machine is very difficult to use and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Cheap Black & Decker LH4500 12 Amp 2-Speed Electric Leaf Hog Blower / Vacuum With Leaf Bag

Black & Decker LH4500 12 Amp 2-Speed Electric Leaf Hog Blower / Vacuum With Leaf Bag
Keep your yard and driveway free of clutter with this ultra-efficient three-in-one blower, vacuum, and mulcher from Black & Decker. The LH4500 works fast, with an impressive 385 CFM air volume and two-speed switch for more control around garden beds and other contained, mulched areas. It also boasts a blow speed of up to 240 MPH so you can get rid of even heavy, wet piles of leaves. In fact, this multi-purpose tool features a metal mulching impeller that condenses 16 bags of leaves to just one bag! Transitioning from the blower to vacuum mode is also a snap, thanks to a straightforward push button--no tools required! For added convenience, the LH4500 has a bag that's easy to empty, so you can get more done in less time. It also comes with a Leaf Blaster nozzle, vacuum attachment with tube, leaf bag with zipper, adjustable shoulder strap, and air concentrator.
Customer Review: Leaf Hog LH4500 Black & Decker, excellent plus suggestions
I purchased the Black & Decker LH4500 Leaf Hog back in September of 2008 when the leaves began to fall. It is now Jan 2009 and I hope the leaves are finally all down.
I was initially very suspicious of this Black & Decker product having been bitten by poor quality in other products, but my rating of this product is excellent. It really sucks up and shreds the leaves. I use it both to pick up piles of leaves and to suck leaves from the tops of my junipers where they are a pain to rake. It is really powerful and has no problem sucking up and munching both leaves and twigs.
The leaf bag while initially very confusing is really a great design that allows you to quickly empty the bag and to reseal it. As usual, the manual for the product sucks, but once it is assembled, it is easy to use.
Pros: Does what it says. Easy to use extension cord retainer. Easy to empty bag. Very powerful leaf vac and very powerful leaf blower.
Cons: Difficult to switch between vacuuming and blowing. Until you have done it a few times, it is very confusing and the manual is no help at all. I hardly ever switch it from vacuum to blow, but that is just me. The shoulder strap for the bag is too narrow and cuts into my neck. I nearly threw away the bag closure when I assembled the unit because I could not figure out what it was for. Also the bag closure while easy to use requires a lot of hand/arm strength to remove it. I found that spraying it with silicon spray made it easier to slide the plastic over the bag. Also, silicon spray makes it a lot easier to remove/assemble the leaf bag from the engine and also to remove/assemble the vacuum or blower parts.
Annoyances: There is no way to put the Leaf Hog down without it falling over completely making it difficult to pick up again. It would have been nice if there was a way to put it down so it was easy to pick up again. This may be a small matter when you are 20, but bending over gets more difficult once you pass 60.
Notes: Because the blower and vacuum parts are separate pieces it is easy to lose track of where you have stored them. The variable speed control works well, but is a bit of an overkill. I find I use it only on the highest speed.
All, in all, I am happy with the product, but time will tell if the quality is there.
Customer Review: Great tool for even the casual home maintainer
For many years I have longed for and dreaded fall, having had two different homes with heavily-leaved trees. I finally found the cure. Out of the box and working in 5 minutes and reduced hours and hours of raking and bagging to 45 minutes of vacuuming and dumping leaves, pine needles, twigs, and one unfortunate dog toy (soft, mind you). I design products professionally and this one has met my high standards so far. I certainly hope to get many years of use out of it.

Cheap TurboGarden Featherweight Cordless Rechargeable 24V Blower

TurboGarden Featherweight Cordless Rechargeable 24V Blower - 120 MPH Air Speed - Less than 5 Lbs!
We consistently achieved real-life blowing times of 25-30 minutes in our tests. That's up to 40% longer than actual times reported by owners of most 18V cordless blowers; plus, we saw only a modest drop in wind speed as the battery power was used up. You'll love the ease-of-use from the well-balanced, less -than 5 lb weight and your neighbors will appreciate the lower noise level - all without noxious exhaust fumes or cord-dragging. Factory refurbished/open box returns from a major retailer with full one-year manufacturer's warranty at half the retail price! Makes a great work-saving gift that'll be much appreciated every time it's used. Each comes with blower unit, 22" extension tube, 24V NiCad battery, UL-listed 110VAC charger-adapter and Instruction Manual; additional batteries available separately. Ergonomic soft-grip D-handle with squeeze trigger and auxiliary hand-hold; impact-resistant ABS construction. Dimensions: fully assembled 39"L x 6-1/4"W x 8-3/4"H; 4.9 lbs.
Customer Review: Very Handy
The best thing about this leaf blower is how convenient it is. Battery seems to last quite a while (longer than expected). However, I'm sure it isn't quite as powerful as the gas powered ones. It is light weight and works great for what I use it for (sweeping out the garage & covered porch of leaves/dust)

Stanley Pivoting Blower Utility Fan, Grounded Outlets, High Velocity Motor For Maximum Air Stream, 3 Powerful Speeds, Two 120V Grounded Outlets, Rugged Easy to Carry Handle, 10' Cord With Grounded Plug, Fully Assembled For Immediate Use, UL Listed.
Customer Review: High Velocity says it all. And I give it five stars
This is an excellent blower fan, and can be adjusted up and down. Unlike my blue blower fan that only has one speed and I paid $100 for some time ago. And this fan rates right along with it and that is why I bought the Stanley #655702 High Velocity Blower. I hope Stanley will make a heater adapter for this fan and then you can use it in the winter time. Just a suggestion to Stanley, other than that it works great, I would recommend this to a friend d:)
Customer Review: Stanley #655702 High Velocity Blower

Cheap Toro Ultra 12 Amp Variable Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum With Metal Impeller #51599

Toro Ultra 12 Amp Variable Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum With Metal Impeller #51599
Powerful and effective, the Toro Ultra 3-in-1 Blower, Vacuum, and Leaf Shredder makes completing yard work fun and easy. With air speeds up to 235 mph, this electric blower nevertheless is lighter, quieter, and cleaner than similar gas blowers. And with a sleek, ergonomical design, it's a tool that is easy to use and will grab your neighbors' attention.
The impeller can reduce up to 16 bags' worth of waste to one bag. Match the Power to the Task for Better Results
Tackle big clean-up jobs the right way with this powerful blower vac. A variable speed 12 Amp motor lets you select from an infinite variety of speeds between 112 mph and 235 mph. This means that you can use low speeds to clear off hard surfaces and clean up tight areas without making a mess and without sacrificing the blower's high-speed functionality.
Air Speed and Air Volume to Get Yard Jobs Done
Unlike some manufacturers, who simply reduce the size of their blower nozzles to achieve higher air speed ratings without increasing the practical value of their tools, Toro gives this blower vac the ability to balance between air speed (measured in mph) and air volume (measured in cfm) to ensure maximum power and performance. This Ultra blower vac offers air speeds up to 235 mph and air volume up to 255 cfm, allowing you to move a substantial volume of leaves and debris with ease.
3-in-1 Versatility Makes Managing Tasks Easy
A convenient quick-release latch lets you convert your blower into a vacuum in seconds without any tools, while a metal impeller makes it easy to mulch debris.
The magnesium serrated metal blades on the impeller shred leaves and other unwanted debris into a fine mulch that you can use around your lawn and garden, saving money and recycling important nutrients. It also makes it easy to dispose of unwanted yard waste, since the impeller can reduce 16 bags’ worth of leaves to one bag.
Clean and Efficient with Electric Power
Compared with gas blowers, electric blowers are quieter, more eco-friendly, and require less maintenance. They start up instantly without requiring you to master a finicky pull cord. There's no messy gas-oil mixture to worry about, and you don't have to contend with noxious fumes to get a job done.
This high-powered blower also weighs in at a very manageable 7.5 pounds, making it easy on your back.
This blower/vac is backed by a full two-year warranty.
Customer Review: Easily the best of its kind
This well-made product already had the highest rating on a well-known consumer testing magazine. I tried to buy it locally so I could clear my leaves quickly after strong winds, but it was sold out at every local store. Not only was Amazon the lowest price, it was delivered fast. I only gave it four stars because it could do with some improvements, but it vacuumed far better than the competition. You still need to get used to it and be a little patient, but it certainly saves time and energy over raking by hand. The big bonus is that the leaves are shredded to a compact size (saving trash bags) and are perfect for composting. My wife and I love the Toro Ultra blower vac 51599.
Customer Review: Toro Ultra 12 Amp Electric Blower/Vacuum w/Metal Impeller
Toro Ultra 12 Amp Variable Speed Electric Blower/Vacuum With Metal Impeller #51599 Since the untimely death of my husband, I have raked leaves from two large fruiteless mulberry trees and my neighbors cottonwood trees on a half acre lot. This would take me at least two days, working and resting throughout two days. I would then be left with 20 to 30 large bags of leaves that would either be taken to the dump or slowly placed in the garbage bin throughout the next few months.
All I can say is THANK YOU TORO for making such a light weight but powerful tool. I was able to clean my yard in a few hours. I was afraid of using a powerful tool but decided to try. One suggestion, make a more, "user friendly" way of draping the bag over your shoulder. A leather/padding to cut down on the strap tearing into the shoulder area might do the trick. This is a great tool, powerful, yet women friendly!!
