Poor Production and development

The vacuum works great until the tube dislodges, which happens constantly. I have to tab it against the ground to engage it again and again and again...ect. A 10 to 15 minute jobs is more close to 30 minute job. If I have a small area to clean, I just hold the tube against the base to finish up. This is my second one in a short amount of time( I took the first one back within weeks of purchasing it). This product is inexpensive but cheaply made.

I was using my BD fine and unplugged it, moved to another location in my yard, and when I plugged back in, it was dead, even though investigating the impeller, etc. showed nothing wrong---complete mistory since I use it only twice a year
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The leaf blower worked great! For the price and for it being corded, it had my respect. I was using the mulcher one evening and the blower suddenly shut down. The circuit fuse is the issue or the power switch from what I'm gathering from sources. Now it's just become a time consuming mess.

This is quite heavy and when you use the vacuum if you try to vac up more than a couple leaves it clogs and shuts off. Then you have to clean it out, dump the leaves you just vaccumed and start over. Blower is ok but you have to switch out parts to do so.

Had this for nearly 5yrs or more and its great at creating piles of leaves , then switch to the vaccuum mode and mulch it down. generally performs well, just needs an extension cord.
This is my first and will be my only blower/vac. It does an incredible job at picking up and mulching my leaves. I cut 15 full size lawn bags down to 8 using this!! It mulches the leaves very fine and saves me time and bag space. I can easily get 2 to 2 1/2 bags in ONE bag now using it versus just loading the bag off the lawn. I am so pleased with it saving me so much more time and effort.
The mulcher worked great the first year. Only used it once to blow and mulch my front lawn. About 6 of it's bags worth. Took it out again this year, and it mulched for about 1 min..... Dead. Faulty trash. Avoid.

I bought this around a year ago, and the first couple times it worked great. It's powerful and did the job pretty good. But once you get any dirt inside between the motor half and the vacuum tube (which is inevitable) you will have trouble getting the two halves to properly seat. Each side will be in place but the middle will bow out, usually resulting in the thing not even turning on. I've also had it where it will even cut out right in the middle of using it. Very bad design. I thought black and decker was a quality name. Im rethinking that.
