Zoom on the Black+Decker BV3600
The Black+Decker BV3600
With its corded electric handheld design, the Black+Decker BV3600 is best suited to homeowners with a yard that is generally under a quarter acre, where upkeep is light and occasional.
It features a maximum air speed of 230 MPH and a maximum air volume rating of 385 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Practically, this means the blower offers modest airflow but strong speed, making it effective for focused clearing on small yard areas, patios, or garden paths.
Equipped with a 12-amp motor, this corded blower can operate indefinitely while connected to electricity, but the cord length defines the area it can reach. Note that some manufacturers don't include the cord with the unit. If that's the case, or if you're looking to buy a backup, use our gauge calculator to ensure you get the right cord. The BV3600 features a cord lock, preventing the cord from being accidentally pulled out while operating the blower.
Not all jobs need full power. The BV3600 has 2 speed settings so, you can blow more or less air from the blower depending on the job.
At 8.1 lbs, the blower’s handheld design lets the operator lift and aim it with one hand.
The BV3600 doubles up as a vacuum, allowing you to collect leaves into a storage bag (14 gallon bag included). Building on the vacuum setting, this blower’s 10:1 mulching ratio efficiently converts 10 bags of leaves into a single bag of mulch during collection.

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.
- The Black+Decker BV3600 carries a heavier build than many corded blowers, weighing 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.
- Air exiting the nozzle of this blower can reach 230 MPH, which is quite a bit faster than most 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 Black+Decker BV3600 boasts an airflow rate of 385 CFM (cubic feet per minute), which is standard for corded blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Worx Turbine WG521, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
