Amazon.com Product Description
The Black & Decker Leaf Hog Electric Blower/Vacuum adds versatility and power to your tool collection. As a blower, the Leaf Hog can generate up to 240-mph air speed to clear matted leaves or sweep hard surfaces. Switch to the vacuum function, and the mulching mechanism devours and deposits up to 16 bags' worth of debris into the included rear bag.
The mulching mechanism can reduce debris that would have filled 16 bags enough that it fits in the single rear bag. View larger. |
Clears All Types of Debris
Sweep your patio, workshop, or walkway clean, or use the 240-mph air speed to make quick work of wet, matted leaves in your yard. The Leaf Hog has a dual-speed switch to decrease air flow when you're working around delicate flower beds, patio furniture, or automobiles in your garage.Gather and Mulch Leaves and Trimmings
The Leaf Hog converts easily to a 385 CFM lawn vacuum when you want to collect loose leaves, twigs, and grass clippings. The internal mulching mechanism grinds everything down, compressing as much as 16 bags of debris down to one. The included bag detaches easily to empty your mulch in flower beds, gardens, or compost piles. Lightweight for Comfortable, All-Day Use
An included shoulder strap adds extra support when you're using the Leaf Hog. Weighing in at just 8.1 pounds makes the blower/vacuum light enough for anyone to use for extended periods. Low Noise Levels from the Environmentally Friendly Motor
Power comes from a 12 Amp motor than runs on electricity--no need to mix oil and gasoline when you're ready to work. The electric motor greatly reduces the roar that's common with gasoline blowers to protect your hearing and reducing noise pollution. The Electric Leaf Hog Blower/Vacuum is covered by a two-year warranty. What's in the Box

I own the original model of the Leaf Hog which has performed well for 5+ yrs.with the original shoulder bag and BV006 adapter tube and collar for a trash can. With a quarter acre of leaves I wanted a second so that spouse and maybe even son could help reduce the work load. The LH4500 is more robust than the original and with a metal rather than plastic impeller does a better job of shredding. It's well balanced and easy to manipulate. The pulsating nozel works well to dislodge leaves that want to stay stuck to the ground. And, the regular nozel sends a good sharp blast. The adapter for the BV006 that one reviewer said B&D was going to include wasn't there, but contact with B&D quickly had one in the mail on their nickel.It's a perfect fit. I can even use the bag from my 5 yr. old machine with it. For those who complain about the noise, common sense (and the owner's manual, pg. 2) indicate the use of ear plugs. For complainers about the unwieldy bag, just try readjusting it for balance as it fills. If the shoulder strap wears on you, take an old face cloth and wrap it around the strap where it rests on the shoulder. We hope that the LH4500 serves as well as the original Leaf Hog. With a 2 yr. warranty, B&D offers a good product.

This is a robust, well balanced Blower/Vac for moving or mulching leaves. The two motor speeds allow useful selectivity for both moving leaves or heavier objects (sticks/small stones) or selectively vacuuming leaves without pulling driveway gravel or nearby plants into its maw.
Anyone much over 6'2" will be bending a little to use the vacuum function.

You still have to rake the nooks and crannies, and loosen any stuck leaves, but let me tell you, since I was a kid, I used to have to spend my fall days raking leaves with 3 big live oaks in the front yard and more in the backyard. The convenience of not having to stoop down and bag those leaves, then haul them to where they need to go - makes this thing great. It does reduce the amount of leaves, as they are finely mulched. Also outstanding for cleaning plant beds. A little cumbersome with the cord and emptying the bag...but well worth the money...buy it!

Only had this about a month and it has started making noises on initial start up.Sounds like metal propeller is hitting something for a few seconds.If it gets worse will have to send it back under warranty.It does do a great job of blowing though.More later.
