Zoom on the Black+Decker LSW221
With its cordless handheld design, the Black+Decker LSW221 is suited 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 100 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 130 miles per hour (MPH). For the user, this translates to modest airflow, moving dry leaves and small debris around a yard, patio, or driveway.
This model comes with a 20V brushed motor, designed for cordless use and easy maneuvering. One 1.5Ah battery is included, and should provide up to 20 minutes of runtime when fully charged.
The Black+Decker LSW221 does not have multiple speed settings. Once the blower is turned on, it always operates at the same speed.
This blower weighs 2.8 lbs as a bare tool and 3.7 lbs with the battery, this handheld blower makes one-handed operation straightforward.

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).
- At only 2.8 lbs (bare tool), the Black+Decker LSW221 offers a lighter option within the 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.
- Air exiting this blower's nozzle can reach speeds of 130 MPH, marking it as considerably swifter than most battery-operated handheld blowers 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.
- As this unit is rated at 100 CFM (cubic feet per minute), it expells less air than most 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.
- Users can expect a maximum autonomy of 20 minutes from its battery, which means the LSW221 won't run as long as many other cordless handheld units before needing to be plugged in. 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.
- Among the compared to battery-powered handheld blowers, the Black+Decker LSW221 delivers a notably efficient use of battery power. If runtime efficiency matters most to you, you might look at the Sun Joe 24V-JB-LTE, which delivers a higher runtime efficiency of 1.04 minutes per Wh.
