One year later
I have a medium-size suburban house sitting on about half an acre.
In the past year I've used this to:
-clear the walks after mowing and/or trimming
-keep the garage floor swept out (great especially in the fall) and
-clear off my deck in less than a minute.
Great complement to the cordless trimmer in this family (the batteries are interchangeable).
Big plusses: light and simple to use; enough wind for small-to-medium jobs (get a gas-powered blower if you can't use a rake for your leaves) and enough battery power for about 10-to- 15 minutes of blowing.
Minuses: Battery life a little short; not good for year-round outdoor use in the north (you shouldn't charge this thing in temps below 40); no easy way to buy a charging station and extra batteries.
Be CAREFUL! This is does NOT necessarily use the same battery as B&D Firestorm products. Some Firestorm batteries are the wrong size and voltage. Others have a stub which fits into the handle; the compatible B&D 18v products look like a big fat black Advil tablet (sort of).
I will probably buy most of the B&D products that are compatible eventually. They seem to work for me.More detail ...
