Zoom on the Black+Decker LSW221

The Black+Decker LSW221 in use

The Black+Decker LSW221

The Black+Decker LSW221 is a cordless handheld blower that is appropriate for homeowners with a yard that is generally under a quarter acre, where upkeep is light and occasional.

Its maximum output is 100 CFM of air volume and 130 MPH of air speed. Practically, this means the blower moves small amounts of dry leaves or light yard debris across small yard sections, patios, or driveways with gentle airflow.

The LSW221 is equipped with a 20V brushed motor and runs on battery power, enabling mobility without a cord. A 1.5Ah battery is included, giving up to 20 minutes of runtime on a full charge.

This unit is a one-speed leaf blower, which means that it's either turned on or turned off.

With a bare tool weight of 2.8 lbs and 3.7 lbs when fully equipped, this handheld unit supports one-handed use in tight areas.

The Black+Decker LSW221's performance versus other blowers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Black+Decker LSW221 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 18 and 24V).

Important: All figures are based on published specifications. Because manufacturers may test at different power levels or under different conditions, use the autonomy/runtime efficiency figures as a guideline only.
  • The Black+Decker LSW221 tips the scales at just 2.8 lbs (bare tool), placing it among the more lightweight cordless handheld blowers in the 18 to 24V range. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Worx WG543 is worth a look at just 2.3 lbs the bare tool.
  • Exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 130 MPH, showcasing impressive velocity for a battery-operated handheld blower between 18 and 24V. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Makita XBU07SM1 and its 143 MPH could be an option to consider.
  • With an airflow capacity of 100 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), the Black+Decker LSW221 falls towards the lower spectrum among cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the Dewalt DCBL724W1, which boasts with 550 CFM.
  • When fully charged, the LSW221 offers up to 20 minutes of autonomy, which may be considered relatively short compared to cordless handheld units of comparable voltage. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Ryobi PBLLB01K which offers up to 60 minutes of runtime.
  • Runtime efficiency for the Black+Decker LSW221 is among the better figures in its class, helping the user get more work out of each charge. If runtime efficiency matters most to you, you might look at the Ryobi ONE+ SWEEPER P2102, which delivers a higher runtime efficiency of 1.28 minutes per Wh.

Price comparison

As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 18-24V cordless blowers, the Black+Decker LSW221 is on the cheap side of the price range.

It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget blower.
