Zoom on the Black+Decker LSW40C
The Black+Decker LSW40C
The Black+Decker LSW40C is a cordless handheld blower that is mostly aimed at homeowners with smaller home areas like patios, walkways, or compact front and back lawns under a quarter acre.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 83 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 125 miles per hour (MPH). For the user, this translates to modest airflow, moving dry leaves and small debris around a yard, patio, or driveway.
A 40V brushed motor powers the LSW40C, which operates fully cordless for versatile handling. A 1.5Ah battery is included, giving up to 30 minutes of runtime on a full charge.
The Black+Decker LSW40C does not have multiple speed settings. Once the blower is turned on, it always operates at the same speed.
This cordless handheld blower weighs 2.4 lbs without the battery and 4 lbs with it, enabling one-handed control of airflow.
