Yard work can be enjoyable at times, especially in the cool fall weather. But let’s face it, sweeping up a ton of leaves, clearing out your roof gutters or clearing loose debris away from your deck can take up a whole lot of time. A leaf blower is a natural solution to these problems, but gas blowers can leave a lot of unpleasant fumes (and just get plain noisy).

The BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Cordless Leaf Blower doesn’t suffer from either of these drawbacks, and it provides plenty of air speed and battery life to tackle everyday yard and cleaning tasks. Now that this leaf blower is on sale on Amazon, it’s an excellent time to add it to your set of most-used tools. Let’s look at how it works and why it’s a great value.

The BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Cordless Leaf Blower operates with a 20-volt lithium battery that can be charged up in under a few hours. It can hold its charge for up to 18 months — perfect if you go without using the blower for a while. Plus, if you already own BLACK+DECKER rechargeable tools, the included battery works for them as well (and vice versa).

At a weight of under 4 pounds, the blower is solidly built yet easy to handle, even when reaching up to hard-to-access spaces. It operates at a noise level of 61 decibels — far lower than what you’d get with a gas-powered blower. And with freedom from cords, you can take this blower anywhere around the house without needing to plug it in.

But of course the major selling point of any leaf blower is its air speed. At 130 mph, the BLACK+DECKER MAX blower is powerful enough to clear debris from hard surfaces like driveways and roofs as well as blow dry leaves off grass. A single charge provides more than enough juice to clear the entire yard, and the long nozzle gives good access to tight corners or up toward the roof, if you need to blow leaves down. In short, you can count on the BLACK+DECKER to replace your broom or brush as your weapon of choice when it comes to outdoor cleanup.

In the end, it’s all about cutting down on your work time, and the BLACK+DECKER MAX Cordless Leaf Blower does just that. We recommend it as a useful tool that can clear away loose debris and leaves without a sweat — and spares you from sweat at the same time!
