BLACK+DECKER Leaf Blower, Vacuum and Mulcher 3-in-1, 12 Amp, 250 MPH, 400 CFM (BV6000)

This is the greatest tool I have ever purchased!! This thing not only sucks up leaves, but twigs too, quickly and efficiently. I use it over my rocks (entire rock yard in Az) and it has no problem with this. It sucks up big piles, leaves in crevices, leaves under furniture, it’s just amazing!! My patio and yard now look great, and it will give me a break from cleaning leaves out of the pool. Best purchase! Way faster than sweeping and blowing leaves around. Amazing!!!

This is my second one and It works great. first one broke after a hard fall, Had it for 15 years.

I moved somewhere with a lot of trees and my property is positioned in a way where it creates a bit of a vortex. Combine that with frequent strong winds and I end up with huge piles of leaves in just a few hours in the fall. I had leaves up to my knees in my basement walkout area! I wasn't going to have a repeat of my first winter here last year.Besides mulching leaves on my lawn with my mower, I raked and filled several contractor size bags last year. It was ridiculous and I knew there must be a better way. I then found this vacuum and mulcher, which I didn't even know existed until I started searching on Amazon.One feature on this vacuum model made me choose it over others by Black+Decker. That was the metal mulching blade. I was worried a plastic mulching blade would not hold up to small rocks being sucked up, which does happen from time to time since I have small lava rock in planters. I occasionally hear the sound of small rocks bouncing off metal blades and I cringe. I try and shut off the vacuum, but the small pebbles often make it into the bag before I can get to the power dial. I kind of wish this just had a power trigger that I could quickly release, but it is not a big deal since I like not having to keep pressure on a trigger. The power dial is also convenient if you need to dial down the suction. I go full speed all the time and just raise it up a bit higher if vacuuming over rock.The first time I used this vacuum I was immediately pleased with my purchase. Once the bag got a bit heavy, I opened it to see that the leaves were mulched to very small pieces. I spread this mulch over a dirt area at the top of a retaining wall so it can breakdown over the winter and hopefully prevent weeds. I then plan to spread more wildflower seeds in the spring. I was also able to sprinkle it over my lawn and have it fall between grass blades. Free fertilizer by next spring.The one thing keeping this vacuum from getting five stars is the bag. The shoulder strap is terrible. It is thin, not comfortable, and does not stay on my shoulder very well, and too short to wear like a sling. I mostly wrap the shoulder strap around one of my hands instead of putting it over my shoulder. Some reviewers recommended getting the trash can attachment, which I may do next year. I am a little hesitant because I need to move around the house and go into my basement walkout area. It would not be convenient to drag a trash can down there.I love this vacuum and I have not bagged or even thrown away leaves this year. I also have one of the cleanest yards in the neighborhood. I find myself vacuuming up leaves off my neighbor's property since I want more mulch (and I don't want the wind blowing the leaves into my yard).

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.

I've only used the leaf vacuum functionality so far, but loving it. It can be loud. Plus requires lots of cleaning on the inside of the mulching area. Our yardh as a lot of wet loose dirt so it constantly gets clogged, but I used a metal pair of chopsticks to keep it clea and loosen the dirt. Always be careful though to unplug the blower!! It's can be dangerous to clean the mulching part. At the end of hte day I'd recommend this.

I bought this for the leaf vacuum; I have a blower. This review is based on the vacuum feature: Off the bat, this is a clunky piece of equipment. It’s not complicated to put together, but between the chute, the bag and the cord, trying to vacuum leaves is clunky. I’m 5’2 and hoped this would be a helpful addition to my lawn care. It’s not bad, but I don’t love it. The suction is ok and the capacity of the vacuum bag is a nice size. I’d return it if I could because it doesn’t really work for me, but again, I’ve only used the vacuum and I’m a pretty short woman.

Bought this for my son for birthday. His HMO was on him about leaves in his yard. He says it works well. It vacuums and shreds leaves into a bag...

Esta máquina se puede configurar para soplar o para absorber. Personalmente la uso como aspiradora, me deja las aceras inmaculadas con su poder de absorción. Todo se va almacenando en la bolsa negra bien desmenuzado ya que cuando absorbe tritura lo que absorbe. Todo el mundo usa más el blower, pero cuando me ven con ésto siempre me preguntan que donde lo compré, la diferencia es grande. Sólo diría al fabricante que cuidara más el ensamblaje del tubo grande en modo aspiradora con el núcleo del motor ya que va cogiendo con el uso algo de holgura. A mi me gusta mucho usarla.
