Zoom on the Black+Decker BV6000
With its corded electric handheld design, the Black+Decker BV6000 is appropriate for homeowners with a small outdoor space such as a patio, driveway, or yard under about a quarter acre.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 400 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 250 MPH. In practice, this blower should move scattered leaves across yard areas and patios with concentrated airflow.
Powered by a 12-amp motor, the blower delivers constant runtime, although the cord limits the extent of movement. Be aware that the blower may not come with a power cord. If you need one, we recommend using our gauge calculator to ensure compatibility. The integrated cord lock helps prevent the unit from being accidentally unplugged during use.
Thanks to its 2 speed settings, the Black+Decker BV6000 allows the user to adjust the air output to the task in hand.
This blower weighs 8.1 lbs and its handheld form makes one-handed operation straightforward.
For those who want to gather leaves efficiently, the BV6000 has a 'blower vac' feature, letting the operator collect leaves and light debris into a bag (14 gallon bag included). During the collection of leaves and debris, its 16:1 mulching ratio compresses 16 bags of leaves into one bag of mulch.
