Update to the review below:
Six years later, April 2010, the unit is still blowing away. I've been able to buy better batteries from Home Depot, and get about 17 minutes of solid blowing time even two years after I bought the better batteries. I'm now shopping for a more up-to-date unit hoping for better battery life and more volume. That said, I still really like this unit.I have a medium-size suburban house sitting on about half an acre.

In the past year I've used this to:
-clear the walks after mowing and/or trimming,
-keep the garage floor swept out (great especially in the fall) and
-clear off my deck in less than a minute.

Great complement to the cordless trimmer in this family (the batteries are interchangeable).

Big pluses: light and simple to use; enough wind for small-to-medium jobs (get a gas-powered blower if you can't use a rake for your leaves) and enough battery power for about 10-to- 15 minutes of blowing.

Minuses: Battery life a little short, especially with the basic batteries that ship with the unit. You can buy better batteries, but they're not cheap and not as easy to find. The blower is not good for year-round outdoor use in the north (they say you shouldn't charge this thing in temps below 40, and cold performance suffers significantly, IMHO).

Be CAREFUL! This is does NOT necessarily use the same battery as B&D Firestorm products. Some Firestorm batteries are the wrong size and voltage. Others have a stub which fits into the handle; the compatible B&D 18v products look like a big fat black Advil tablet (sort of).

I will probably buy most of the B&D products that are compatible, eventually. They seem to work for me.
