Questions & Answers
There are no questions yet. Ask the first question.
We have tried two of these units; each time performing the same. They are a nice weight but you can only run two cycles of 10 minutes each with two different fully charged 1.5AH batteries. After two such 10 minute cycles; we tried a fully charged 3.0AH and it wouldn’t run at all. There must be a high temperature control switch that kicks in to kill the electric motor. The outside air temperature was 22 degrees Celsius at the time we were using the BCBL700D1 20V B & D Axial blower.
For the price you can not beat this blower, it is not a sweeper as B&D call their 100cfm machines. At 320cfm this machine blows and spreads my mulched grass clipping left behind from the mower wheels into the cut lawn to where you can not even see the clippings! It cleans my walkways, driveway and patios with no problems at all. I get those aggravating pinwheel maple leaf’s (or is it oak?) in my driveway and it blows them away along with small sticks and branches, with no effort at all ! They give you a 20V 2.0AH battery with the unit, which is ok if your job does not last longer then 10 minutes, but I also have two B&D 20V 4AH batteries and one B&D 20V 2.5AH battery, so time it takes to do my yard is no issue at all. Considering the price, you are getting value and performance, now if I can get 5 years out of it, I will consider the quality to be well above average!
