- Power: The BV3100, manufactured by Black+Decker, is an electric blower with a maximum air speed of 210 MPH and a maximum air volume rating of 300 CFM.
- Power delivery: Being that it is a corded blower with a 12 Amp motor, the BV3100 requires a steady power source and must be plugged in when using it. It's important to note that some blowers are sold without a power cord. If you need to acquire one, please make use of our gauge calculator to determine the correct cord for your blower.

It’s designed for easy handling and use, and its size means it’s easily carried and stored.

- Vacuum: In addition to its blowing capabilities, the BV3100 boasts a vacuum function, making leaf cleanup a breeze as it neatly collects debris into a designated bag (9.3 gallon bag included).
- Mulching: With its mulching ratio rated at 10:1, this mulcher excels at transforming 10 bags of foliage and debris into a single bag of mulch.
- Noise: With a decibel rating of 69 dB, the BV3100 is neither louder nor quieter than its rivals in the electric handheld category.
