Leaf Blower Leaf Vacuum and Leaf Mulcher 3-in-1, Electric Blowers for Lawn Care, 12 Amp, 250 MPH, 400 CFM (BV6000)

I used the B&D blower/vacuum/mulcher today for the first time, to clean up the leaves in our back yard. Our yard is roughly 1500sf and we have two big trees that dumped about 2/3 of their leaves that I needed to pick up. The wind was very strong last night, so it took care of gathering the leaves into a few main areas in the yard so I just had to vacuum them up. I did not use the blower function this time, only the vacuum/mulcher. It worked great! I was so pleased with the suction power, much more than I was expecting. I did use it on the high seeing the whole time. It was able to make quick work of piles, as well as picking up the leaves that had been walked on and smashed into the grass. It comes with a strap that clips onto the machine so you can put it across your shoulder/chest so a lot of the weight is on your shoulders and not on your arms. It's easy to maneuver and lightweight to start out. However, as you vacuum up the leaves, the collection bag gets heavy, so you then start to feel the weight. Nice thing is, the collection bag is very easy to snap on/off, and the zipper to empty it makes it easy to do so, as frequently as you need to. I picked up all the leaves in the back yard, emptied the collection bag 5 or 6 times, and it all mulched down to fit into a 40 gal contractor bag. Awesome! Thank you to another reviewer who warned of the dust from the collection bag. I heeded that warning and wore a mask, and it was very much needed. If you don't wear glasses you may consider wearing some goggles or safety glasses too, to keep the dust out of your eyes. Fair warning, you will get very dirty running the vac/mulch, so just plan on having to change your clothes and shower afterwards. A small price to pay for this machine that does a great job. I would highly recommend this B&D blower/vacuum/mulcher.

The BLACK+DECKER BV6000 Leaf Blower, Vacuum, and Mulcher is a fantastic tool for anyone looking to make yard cleanup easier and more efficient. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and it has exceeded my expectations. The 250 MPH blower power is strong enough to handle even heavy, wet leaves, making it ideal for fall cleanup. The vacuum function works seamlessly, and the built-in mulcher reduces leaf volume significantly, which is a game-changer for composting or reducing yard waste bags. Switching between blower and vacuum modes is simple, although it takes a minute to get used to the setup if it’s your first time. The included two disposable bags are a nice touch, though I recommend purchasing extras for larger jobs. • The 12-amp motor is powerful but requires a heavy-duty extension cord to avoid any issues with performance.

There was a time many years back when I would shy away from Black & Decker after a couple misfires. But I gave them another try in the past five years and have been very happy with the quality, durability and price. But for this purchase I looked at all the available manufacturers of Leaf Blower/Vacuum combinations, finally coming back to B&D because I know the quality I will get. This product is a heavy duty piece of equipment and powerful. I needed the ability to blow leaves, etc. off a flagstone patio, but also to suck up all the stuff that had settled into the spaces between the stones. This does the job very well. I also anticipate it being long lasting, because I accidentally sucked up a cleaning rag and the motor immediately shut off and after removing the rag, it started back up like nothing happened. My only wishes are that it was quieter and not as heavy.

Worked better than I could have hoped for. Mulched up the stuff from my flower beds, and it all fit in one wheelbarrow load! Spread the mulch on the garden surrounding the bird feeders. Very happy.

The leaf vacuum is so much better than a leaf blower and wish I got one a few years ago. Instead of spreading leaves all over, the vacuum picks them up, grinds them down and then you can use the clippings for garden fertilizer or put them at the curb for the town to pick up. The vacuum will even pick up very wet leaves. I'm 59 and found the leaf vacuum very easy to use and not heavy even with a full bag of ground up leaves. I emptied the bag 10x = 40 gallons to clear my backyard which has 6 large maple trees.

Certified review junkie. I rely on them to make informed purchases, and I expect products to live up to their promises. After a year of searching for the perfect outdoor leaf vacuum, I finally found this one. And let me tell you, it's a breath of fresh air in a world of fake or exaggerated reviews. I didn't have unrealistic expectations—just a simple request: great suction, a vacuum that could handle pebbles, stones, and previously laid mulch without undoing all my hard yard work without a sweat. And guess what? This one fit the bill! The power and suction quality are top-notch, and the value is unbeatable. Just a heads-up: I found the cord to be short, so if you have a larger property, you'll need an extension cord to keep the suction party going. The design...meh. But that's a small price to pay for a product that actually does what it says it will. In short, this leaf vacuum is a winner. It's reliable, effective, and won't leave you feeling raked over the proverbial pebbles.

Leaf vacuums are as a class, garbage. If you need to vacuum leaves, you will get far better results using ANY other kind of vacuum than a vacuum supposedly design for it. In 25yrs, this is the 3rd one I have been blessed with. Someone trying to be helpful gifted it to me w/o asking first, because they know I process a lot of leaves each year. (Have a lot of mature maples.) Already have a fantastic cordless blower so maybe this can at least be a decent corded backup blower. Then I decided this spring it could be used to (hopefully) remove and mulch debris where the mower can't go. Gave it a go jutst now and it was just as pathetic as past "vacuums" have been. Have to pick thing up by hand and spoonfeed them into this things maw. Should just use the shopvac or blow the stuff out into the yard ... And then, after less than 5min, it dies. I checked the power, I check the cord, every thing's fine. AS vacuum that can't even suck also m,anages to have crap internal wiring. YGBFKM. It took longer to smash this thing and separate it into scrap and recyclable materials than it ran. TL;DR ... don't even bother, even if it's a "gift."

I primarily used this tool as a leaf vacuum, since the blower function didn't work as well as the cheap $30 blower I already had. The vacuum and mulch function did get the job done on my 1/3 acre lot with lots of deciduous trees and shrubs. It was an extremely dusty process with this bag, but probably unavoidable while maintaining air flow. The chute clogs quite frequently, particularly if there are any more than one pine cone in the chute at a time. The motor just burned out at 20 months after purchase. I got about 7 several hour sessions in. It mulches pretty well and makes a big difference in reducing debris volume and allows me to compost on site without having to bag tons of leaves up each fall. It was a bit pricey for less than 2 years lifespan, though. I think I'm going to try to find a more reliable brand for it's replacemet. Sad that Black & Decker doesn't make as reliable tools as they used to.

Last 1 minute then motor catch fire.

Excelente aparato sopla y aspira con mucho poder. Ojo si te subirá el uso de la luz, pero en verdad aliviana mucho el trabajo. Fuerte y potente el motor. Aspas internas para triturar de acero.

I set up the mulcher parts and found if I took the bag off I could use it as a blower - not as effective as the blower tube but handy. I ran oak leaves through the mulcher twice and then used the mulch directly on my Rhodos and camellias. This makes a much finer mulch. The machine will slow down if the bag is full as mentioned in the instructions. Caution- it will also slow down when the bag is not full if the area around the blades is clogged with a kind of leaf paste and/or pieces of wood. In that case it’s an easy fix to push the black button under the top handle and to use a stick or screwdriver (UNPLUG the power first) carefully around the blades to clean the inside.

Buena potencia. Lo único malo es que cuando se usa la aspiradora para triturar las hojas, empieza a salir mucho polvo de la bolsa, y uno queda como polvorón. Al usarla es bueno usar ropa que sepamos que se va a llenar de polvo, además de usar un cubre bocas para no respirar ese polvo... El resultado de las trituración es también muy bueno. En mi caso la primera compra salió defectuosa solo servía las velocidad 2, tuve que pedir un reemplazo y afortunadamente ya funcionó correctamente velocidad 1 y2....

Item came right on time. Have only used it once but good so far. We have a huge maple tree and our climate is very wet. Blower worked great. Like the concentrated nozzle accessory for a more direct blow. The vacuum did pick up and mulch the wet leaves but I wouldn't expect it to do all the leaves. Think it would over heat for the amount we have.
