Sun Joe BJ601C 20 Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Electric Blower Review

Sun Joe BJ601C 20 Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Electric Blower
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Purchased this blower this fall as we live in the woods and had a constant supply of leaves. I have a backpack gas powered blower plus a hand held, but wanted something that my wife could use to keep the walkway and deck cleared. Worked well for this purpose, as well as our renter who used it to clear leaves off his deck and stairway. This is very lightweight and will not tire you clearing leaves. Battery life is sufficient for normal use and recharges quickly.

Remington RM170B 18-Volt Cordless Electric 125 MPH Blower Review

Remington RM170B 18-Volt Cordless Electric 125 MPH Blower
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This blower - I'd rather call it an air broom - is compact and well built. The battery removal and installation is a quick and convenient. The charger attaches to the detached battery with a slide clip.The air broom performs well after the battery is fully changed but the blowing force drops off fairly quickly after about 10 minutes of use. This air broom is effective for light duty tasks such as when the material to be moved isn't heavy, sticky, or wet. This "blower" is no match for the corded blower models however is quick and easy to use for light duty cleaning tasks. Buy it if you want to use it for moving dust or easily moved leaves and grass. Anything heavier then those really calls for the use a corded or gas blower.

Makita BUB182Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Blower - Bare-tool Review

Makita BUB182Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Blower - Bare-tool
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This blower is an excellent addition to Makita's LXT lineup of tools.Like all of the LXT tools, the blower is quite powerful, very rugged, lightweight and well thought out.Its small size and very light weight make it all the more useful and portable.It performs the shop duties of an air blow gun without the need of a compressor and hoses.The variable speed function is invaluable from heavy volume in cleaning out the buildup of dust and chips in tablesaws and planers, to the light "dusting off" needed on shelving and drawers (without blowing away the contents).It is equally as impressive on a job site as in the shop.The ability to clean off all the dust on your clothing from working around heavy sawdust, drywall dust etc. - this alone makes the blower a must have.

It would be hard to justify the purchase of this if it were to be the only LXT tool one were buying, given the fact that a charger and battery together will run $100+.But for someone with other LXT tools, already having a charger and batteries, this is definitely a worthwhile investment.The nozzle of the blower (the long black tube) is made of heavy rubber and detaches with a simple twist.This flexible nozzle can readily be flexed (bent) to point the blower into hard to reach areas.The simple "twist to remove" breaks the blower down to ultimate portability.It would almost fit in a toolbox!LXT batteries give it plenty of power and runtime;much more than one would anticipate from a battery powered device.

As far as the vacuum functionality, the nozzle is simply removed from the blower port and twisted onto the air intake port.Then a collection bag (not supplied with blower) is attached to the output to collect the vacuumed debris.However, I found this configuration to be too awkward to be really useful.I did purchase a bag, approx. $16, from a tool supply house, but am not impressed with transformingthis into a vacuum.It would do in a pinch, but certainly not something I could make a habit of.The cloth bag is identical to one found on a Makita belt sander, plate joiner or similar device.If you want one, do an internet search for Makita #122321-1;that is the part number of the dust collection bag. Better yet, Makita has just introduced a new 18v LXT vacuum, quite similar to a dustbuster;the Makita BCL180ZW.I don't have one yet, but am ordering one.It should prove to be another "must have" addition to the LXT tool bag.

For heavy yard usage and constant leaf blowing, a larger electric or gas blower would be more appropriate.But for the other 90% of the time where a portable blower would fit the bill, this Makita is as handy as a shirt pocket.

Black & Decker CS100 12-Volt Cordless Electric Broom Hard Surface Sweeper Review

Black & Decker CS100 12-Volt Cordless Electric Broom Hard Surface Sweeper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This unit was very easy to set up.Basically, you slide on the nozzle.Then you attach the unit to the charging base.And you plug the charger into the wall.That's it for setup!

Using the unit is also very easy.There is a single switch on top that you flip and away you go.Since the unit is completely battery operated, there are no cords or gasoline issues to worry about.The whole tool is idiot-proof.

However, with the battery on a full charge, you only have about 15 minutes of full power.After that time, the unit looses charge quickly until it only puts out a small puff of air.By then you're waving the thing around so much you might as well get a broom to do some actual work.

I give this item 5 stars for ease of use, but only 1 star for doing what it's actually intended for, which is blowing.Considering I don't normally buy blowers for any other use, I give it 2 stars overall.

I found this unit to be great for light duty and especially blowing out leaves and grass that get blown into my garage. I'm in a wooded area and there are lots of small twigs on my driveway that can be blown off with this blower but I do have to get much closer and it takes longer than my gas blower. The battery is real good for about the first 10 minutes and then it starts to drop noticeably.I have several batteries so I don't have to be too concerned about running out of power. It is convenient because of its light weight and cordless feature.

Black & Decker NS118B 18 Volt Cordless Broom Hard Surface Sweeper - Bare Tool (No Battery Or Charger) Review

Black & Decker NS118B 18 Volt Cordless Broom Hard Surface Sweeper - Bare Tool
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Electric Broom is an 18V battery powered sweeper. The standard unit comes with two batteries and one charger. This is NOT the standard unit and is only the bare device and does not come with any batteries or charger. For what it is marketed as this is a very nice piece of equipment.

There have been three reasons that people have traditionally avoided Electric Lawn equipment in favor of the more traditional gas counterparts. Those three reasons are power, price and portability. These objections no longer pose an issue with the 18V Electric Broom.

The objection for more power is not so much overcome by more robust power on this unit as it is by smart marketing. You will notice this unit is NOT marketed as a blower. That is because the unit does not pack enough punch to blow debris and leafs on a lawn. It is strictly good for hard or moderately flat surfaces. The unit is more then powerful to sweep or clear out gullies and other crevices. I am sure one might want a gas powered unit to take clear out a lawn or other non-flat area.

The issue around price is also one that Black and Decker has overcome. The unit is cheap! With gasoline prices were they are this is a price difference that is not unattractive to many of us.

Finally we get to the portability aspect of the trimmer. Being battery powered the unit does not need a cord so there is no limit to its range. The battery lasts about 15 - 20 minutes before the power is noticeably depreciated (using the standard 18 volt battery). Normal usage in most area would be able to utilize the two batteries and complete the work. More in-depth work might require a bit of planning or the purchase of spare batteries. This may be one of the units from Black and Decker that due to the short battery time it may be worth looking at the extended power silver batteries from Black and Decker.

Since this is the third 18 volt battery unit I have purchased from Black and Decker I have become hooked on the 18 volt line. Since the batteries are interchangeable I am always looking at the Black and Decker 18 volt equipment first.

Remember this unit is just the model and no charger or batteries. Don't buy unless you already have batteries and charger.The batteries alone run between $20 and $30 dollars so if you need these you should buy the complete unit for the money.

This is a great unit that is far more eco-friendly then a gas blower although not as powerful. It certainly makes sweeping less of a chore. I can even continue to work in my lawn during Ozone action days now! I recommend without any reservation although price point wise I can't understand why one would not buy the unit with batteries and chargers. It is a better deal unless you have far to many batteries.

Here's the thing....Worx has a somewhat decent product...the cordless blower/sweeper and the Worx weed wacker could be good products if they didn't BREAK .... ALWAYS.The customer service is your worst nightmare.Really, your worst nightmare.You see the infomorcials, think "hey what a great product!"You purchase the item, use it and it breaks.You call customer service and can't get through. You leave messages and wait for them to contact you.Call a few more times and realize that they really are not customer orientated at all and then get ticked because now you have a broken product, a heavy duty charge on your credit card and no customer service. That stinks.No product, no refund, no recourse.Please be advised before purchasing this product...this item will work great...do just what the commercial said it would and then most likely break prematurely and you will not get be given a refund or any other type of help because there is NO customer service.Please heed my warning...customer service is nill and the product won't last.
