Black & Decker Leaf Hog Blower - Vac Bv4000 Review

I have tons of trees, and raking was one of the worst chores! You had to rake everything into a pile (which often included hidden dog poo), then figure out how to get all those leaves into about ten bags. Then I'd take the bags to the local green waste, and it didn't seem so "green" to use all that plastic!

This nice invention made life so much easer. I just BLOW all the leaves into a pile (it leaves the dog poo behind, thankfully), then suck the pile up with the vacuum. AND it MULCHES the leaves and bags them into the attached bag. Then I just unzip the bag and put all the leaves into a Rubbermaid garbage can, put on a lid and I'm off to the green waste center, no bags harmed in this process. Where I would have had ten bags, I have a small garbage can full of mulched leaves. You could also use it as mulch for your garden, or compost it.

The best $60 I ever spent on a yard tool.
