Zoom on the Black+Decker BV6000
With its corded electric handheld design, the Black+Decker BV6000 is suited for homeowners with a patio or small yard that does not require frequent or large-scale cleanup.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 400 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 250 miles per hour (MPH). 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 the power cord might not be included with the blower. If you need one, use our gauge calculator. It has a built-in cord lock to keep the blower connected and prevent interruptions during use.
With its 2 speed settings, the BV6000 ensures adaptable airflow output, catering to varying needs with ease.
At 8.1 lbs, the blower’s handheld design lets the operator lift and aim it with one hand.
Equipped with a vacuum function, the BV6000 doubles as a leaf collector, depositing leaves into an attached bag (14 gallon bag included). While collecting debris, the 16:1 mulching ratio allows the blower to turn 16 bags of leaves into one bag of mulch.
