Zoom on the Black+Decker BV3600
The Black+Decker BV3600
The Black+Decker BV3600 is a corded electric handheld blower that is appropriate for homeowners with a small outdoor space such as a patio, driveway, or yard under about a quarter acre.
It provides a maximum air volume rating of 385 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed of up to 230 miles per hour (MPH). In practice, this blower should move scattered leaves across yard areas and patios with concentrated airflow.
The BV3600 features a 12-amp motor, which runs as long as it is connected to a power source, with mobility naturally limited by the cord length. It's important to note that some blowers are sold without a power cord. If you need one, make use of our gauge calculator to select the correct cord length for your needs. It has a built-in cord lock to keep the blower connected and prevent interruptions during use.
With 2 speed settings, this blower’s output can be set to meet the needs of jobs big or small.
Weighing 8.1 lbs, the handheld design allows the operator to control airflow with one hand.
For those who want to gather leaves efficiently, the BV3600 has a 'blower vac' feature, letting the operator collect leaves and light debris into a bag (14 gallon bag included). With its vacuum function engaged, this mulcher’s mulching ratio of 10:1 can condense 10 bags of leaves into a single bag of mulch while in use.

The Black+Decker BV3600's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Black+Decker BV3600 compare with similar leaf blowers.
- In its category of corded blowers, the Black+Decker BV3600 represents one of the heavier builds at 8.1 lbs. To enjoy the lowest possible weight in this category, you could have a look at the Sun Joe SBJ597E which is only 3.9 lbs.
- Forced air exiting this blower has been clocked at a max speed of 230 MPH. This puts the BV3600 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.
- The BV3600 is average in terms of air volume. It's rated at 385 CFM, which is common for corded blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Worx Turbine WG521, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
