  • Power delivery: Those who don’t want to fuss with cords will be glad to know that this blower is battery-operated.

The Black+Decker LSW36's performance versus other blowers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Black+Decker LSW36 compare with similar leaf blowers.

  • Its max air speed of 120 MPH places it at the approximate midpoint in comparison to other battery-operated handheld blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Makita XBU01PT and its 208 MPH could be an option to consider.
  • It’s capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 90 CFM (cubic feet per minute). This places it at the low end compared to other cordless handheld blowers. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the Husqvarna 350iB, which boasts with 800 CFM.
  • Users can expect a maximum autonomy of 30 minutes from its battery, which means the LSW36 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 Makita CBU01Z which offers up to 300 minutes of runtime.
According to our stats, the following comparison is pretty popular: Black+Decker LSW36 vs Black+Decker LSW40C.

Price comparison

As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other cordless blowers, the Black+Decker LSW36 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.

POWERBOOST Technology

Black Decker Powerboost banner

POWERBOOST is one of the features of the POWERCOMMAND™ line of Black+Decker outdoor power tools. The Black+Decker LSW36 has a button that gives it a surge in blowing speed when pressed. Although POWERBOOST uses a lot of power (which drains the battery faster) , it is quite useful for loosening up those stubborn patches of debris that get stuck and otherwise refuse to budge. When POWERBOOST is used sparingly, the LSW36 enjoys a normal runtime, so this feature is definitely ideal for tackling less rigorous tasks with more precise control.

The bottom line

STRENGTHS:
  • Inexpensive
  • Lightweight (4.7 lbs)
  • POWERBOOST Technology
AVERAGE SPECS:
  • Acceptable noise (66 dB)
  • Decent MPH (120 MPH)
WEAKNESSES:
  • Brushed motor
  • Low CFM (90 CFM)
  • Low autonomy (30 mins)
