Description
Overview of the Black+Decker BCBL700D1
- Power: The Black+Decker BCBL700D1 can force 320 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) from its nozzle at a maximum speed of 90 MPH.
- Power delivery: The BCBL700D1 is a battery-operated unit, so it doesn’t need to be plugged in during use. Users will enjoy the added mobility of its cordless design.
- Battery: Its 2 Ah 20 V Li-ion battery (1 LBXR2020 battery included) offers a maximum autonomy of 10 minutes on a full charge.
- Handling: Being handheld, this blower has a good maneuverability and is meant to be easier to carry around over a small period of time. Among other cordless handheld blowers, the Black+Decker BCBL700D1 can be considered light, weighing only 3.8 lbs, battery included.
- Speed Settings: Not all jobs need full power. The BCBL700D1 has 2 speed settings so, you can blow more or less air from the blower depending on the job.

The Black+Decker BCBL700D1's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Black+Decker BCBL700D1 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 18 and 24V).
- Maxing out at 90 MPH at full power, this blower is on the lower end in terms of air speed for battery-operated handheld blowers between 18 and 24V. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Makita XBU07SM1, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 143 MPH.
- Regarding its air volume, the airflow of the Black+Decker BCBL700D1 can reach 320 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), which is on par with other cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the RIDGID R01601K, with 510 CFM, could be in your good books.
- Users can expect a maximum autonomy of 10 minutes from its battery, which means the BCBL700D1 won't run as long as many other cordless handheld units before needing to be plugged in. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Kobalt KHB 4224A-03 which offers up to 50 minutes of runtime.

As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other cordless blowers, the Black+Decker BCBL700D1 is on the cheap side of the price range.

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!
