Overview of the Black+Decker LSW40C

The Black+Decker LSW40C in use

The Black+Decker LSW40C

  • Power: This cordless leaf blower has a maximum air volume rating of 83 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed rating of 125 MPH.
  • Power delivery: As it is battery-operated, it doesn't need to be plugged in and therefore allows superb freedom of movement.
  • Battery: It has a 1.5 Ah 40 V Li-ion battery (1 LBX1540 battery included) that should work reliably for up to 30 minutes if completely charged.
  • Handling: With its handheld design, this leaf blower was created with portability in mind. Most users will have no problem using it almost anywhere. Among other cordless handheld blowers, the Black+Decker LSW40C can be considered light, weighing only 4 lbs, battery included.
  • Speed Settings: This unit is a one-speed leaf blower.
  • Noise: Its noise rating of 50 dB can be considered the standard for similar electric handheld blowers.

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 similar leaf blowers.

  • Forced air leaving this blower’s nozzle has been clocked at 125 MPH. That makes the LSW40C average in terms of air speed for 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.
  • As this unit is rated at 83 CFM (cubic feet per minute), it expells less air than most 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 LSW40C 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.

Price comparison

As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other cordless blowers, the Black+Decker LSW40C 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.
