When fall arrives, keeping your yard free of leaves can quickly become a time-consuming chore. Raking leaves is certainly an option, but having a dependable leaf blower can make outdoor cleanup much faster and easier.
We have a small yard surrounded by many trees. So we have a lot of cleanup to do in the fall. The other day, I was blowing leaves to the curb when my trusted leaf blower quit on me.
After checking the cords and the outlets, I was about to tear it apart to see what was wrong. Fran happened to be outside and said, just go buy a new one; you have that for years.
So, off I went to buy a new leaf blower. After looking at several battery-operated models, I opted for this corded Black & Decker BEBL750. Our yard is small, so I don't mind dragging a cord along.
I will spare you the technical details, but the leaf blower delivers 140 MPH with an airflow of 450 CFM (cubic feet per minute). It is powerful, has two speeds, and is lightweight.
I'm very happy with this leaf blower and would recommend it to anyone with a smaller yard who doesn't mind the cord.

Your corded leaf blower looks to be the perfect one for your small yard, Sam, and Black and Decker always produces a dependable product. Well done. My son, his wife and two teenage boys were all in the yard Saturday working on the leaves. Too bad a leaf blower wouldn't be the answer for them; their yard is very large!
ReplyDeleteBattery operated tools of any type are often too heavy to me to wield easily or efficiently. I know I would prefer a leaf blower with an electric cord. They are already cumbersome. Is there any reason I couldn't use an outdoor extension cord like I do with my hedge trimmers?
ReplyDeleteFor sure, that is exactly what I use. Outside extension cord with my outside outlets on my deck.
DeletePerfect timing! My husband was just saying he’s thinking of replacing our old leaf blower.
ReplyDeleteThis is a must have where we leave. Hubby uses a leaf blower all the time. I appreciate learning more about these since I’m not well versed on the better choices. Good to know for gift ideas!
ReplyDeleteWe currently only have one tree in our yard, and most of the leaves from the neighbors seemed pretty well contained, unless a strong wind blows through. My hubby pretty much takes care of our leaves with the grass cutting. It all goes into the bagging lawn mower. However, I'm sure your recommendation is appreciated by those who need it. There are neighbors around that hire lawn care people that use leaf blowers.
