  • Power delivery: This unit, featuring a 12 Amp motor, is a corded blower. It must be plugged into an electrical outlet with a reliable power source at all times during operation.

  • Cord Lock Mechanism: Corded power tools can sometimes inadvertently be unplugged during operation. The Black+Decker BV3100 prevents such accidents by featuring a cord lock mechanism.
  • Handling: Being handheld, this blower has a good maneuverability and is meant to be easier to carry around over a small period of time. When compared to other electric handheld blowers, the Black+Decker BV3100 stands out due to its lower weight: just 7 lbs.
  • Speed Settings: Not all jobs need full power. The BV3100 has 2 speed settings so, you can blow more or less air from the blower depending on the job.
  • Vacuum: As a blower vac, the BV3100 handily vacuums unwanted material into a storage bag for easy disposal (9.3 gallon bag included).
  • Mulching: Its mulching ratio is 10:1, meaning that it will turn 10 bags of soft debris into one bag of mulch.
  • Noise: Its noise rating of 69 dB can be considered the standard for similar electric handheld blowers.

The Black+Decker BV3100's performance versus other blowers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Black+Decker BV3100 compare with similar leaf blowers.

  • Forced air exiting this blower has been clocked at a max speed of 210 MPH. This puts the BV3100 ahead of the pack as far as air speed is concerned in electric handheld blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Craftsman CMEBL7000 and its 260 MPH could be an option to consider.
  • Its max air volume rating (300 cubic feet per minute) means it is really not the biggest air producer of electric handheld blowers. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the Bauer 58905, which boasts with 805 CFM.

Price comparison

As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other blower vacs, the Black+Decker BV3100 is on the cheap side of the price range.

It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget blower.
