Overview of the Black+Decker BV6000
- Power: The BV6000 is an electric blower made by Black+Decker. It has a maximum air speed of 250 MPH and its nozzle can expel a max air volume of 400 cubic feet per minute (CFM).
- Power delivery: As it is a corded model, the blower needs to be plugged in to a power source in order for the 12 Amp motor to operate. 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.
- Cord Lock Mechanism: Anyone who has experienced the frustration of having their blower suddenly stop from being accidentally unplugged will be glad to know that the BV6000 has a 'cord lock' mechanism.
- Handling: Ideal for those seeking a compact and portable leaf blower, this model provides ease of handling and use, making it a convenient choice for any task. At 8.1 lbs, the Black+Decker BV6000 is within the average weight range of electric handheld blowers.
- Speed Settings: Not all jobs need full power. The BV6000 has 2 speed settings so, you can blow more or less air from the blower depending on the job.
- Vacuum: For those who really want to make leaves disappear, the BV6000 has a handy 'blower vac' feature (the keyword here being 'vac', aka 'vacuum'). It allows the operator to collect leaves and light debris in a collection bag to be easily discarded after the job is finished (14 gallon bag included).
- Mulching: Its impressive mulching ratio of 16:1 allows this mulcher to compress 16 bags of leaves and debris into just one bag of mulch.
- Noise: As far as electric handheld blowers go, this one is average in terms of noise with a rating of 68 dB.
