Black & Decker Leaf Hog Blower Vac with Flex Tube BV2800

Date Published: 6/2/08

With its innovative joystick handle and flexible blower tube, the Black & Decker Leaf Hog Blower Vac with Flex Tube BV2800 is a perfect choice for cleanup jobs that require long hours in the backyard. Because the adjustable strap distributes the weight of the unit across your shoulder and the joystick lets you point the blower with only the slightest of movements, the BV2800 takes much less of a toll on the user than most comparable blowers. But even though it feels like you could clear acres and acres, keep in mind it is an electric model, so you'll be tethered to a power supply. Regardless, it's a good choice for small, but debris-heavy yards. The powerful engine creates gusts of up to 200 miles per hour, and the mulcher reduces 10 bags of leaves and other debris into one. The blower converts to a vacuum/mulcher with the press of a button, and an anti-clogging system does a good job of keeping the unit from jamming.
