Description
Overview of the Black+Decker LSW40C
The Black+Decker LSW40C
- Power: The Black+Decker LSW40C can expel 83 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) from its nozzle at a maximum speed of 125 MPH.
- Power delivery: The blower is battery-operated, so the operator won’t need to worry about getting tripped up by pesky cords when they’re busy getting work done.
- Battery: It has 1.5 Ah 40 V Li-ion battery (1 LBX1540 battery combo included) that should work reliably for up to 30 minutes if completely charged.
- Handling: It’s handheld, so naturally it’s easier to handle and carry than larger leaf blowers, such as backpack models or walk-behinds. The Black+Decker LSW40C distinguishes itself among cordless handheld blowers with its lower weight of 4 lbs, battery included.
- Speed Settings: This unit is a one-speed leaf blower.
- Noise: For electric handheld blowers, the LSW40C's 50 dB noise rating can be considered fairly typical.

The Black+Decker LSW40C's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Black+Decker LSW40C compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 48V).
- The air speed of the Black+Decker LSW40C maxes out at 125 MPH. While more than adequate for many jobs, its air speed is below average among other battery-operated handheld blowers between 36 and 48V. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Husqvarna 350iB, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 200 MPH.
- Its airflow capacity, rated at 83 CFM (cubic feet per minute), positions it at the lower spectrum among cordless handheld blowers. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the Husqvarna 350iB, which boasts with 800 CFM.
- With a runtime of up to 30 minutes on a full charge, the LSW40C's autonomy is modest compared to other cordless handheld units. 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.
