Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Works pretty well but not durable I'm another owner of the B&D leaf hog who found it to work pretty well for a year, but just yesterday the motor started smoking, similar to what others have reported. So now I'm trying to figure out if this thing is worth trying again, or if there is a better, more reliable model out there. I'd rather pay a little more for a better made piece of equipment, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of choice for moderately priced blower/vac units. Addendum: I really needed to get something over the weekend to continue on leaves, but wasn't able to find the Ryobi in town. Someone pointed out that the B&D does have a 2 year warranty, so I grimaced, bought another and stashed the receipt in a safe place. This time I got the extra attachment that blows directly into a trash can. While it's not perfect, this REALLY helped speed things up because 1) the vacuum slows down when using the shoulder bag, after it gets half full 2) obviously a bigger container means less emptying. Rating: - Impressive performance, good price I'm on a 1/4 acre lot with an 80 yr old silver maple in the front yard, and an 80 yr old red maple in the back yard. I've got leaves everywhere and was tired of raking. Looked at the Leaf Hog and the Toro, and because of ergonomics, weight distribution, and ease of changing between blow and vac, I bought the hog. I also purchased the leaf collection system which directly deposits the mulched leaves into a lined trash can. Powered it up and had a blast! Used the blower to create a large central pile (15ft diameter x 2 ft high), switched over to vac, and vacuumed/chopped the pile into two industrial sized lawn/leaf bags. All this in little less than an hour. But - time will tell how well the tool holds up. I've noticed some wear on the impeller and am careful now to limit exposure to small pebbles and excessive dust. Also don't care for the extension cord retainer - it needs another turn or two to keep the cord from pulling out. All in all - I'm impressed and not sorry for the purchase. Note: bought it at Home Depot. Sorry Amazon. Rating: - THE ANSWER IS BLOWING IN THE WIND: BUY IT, CLEAN UP. Backyard looking like a pig sty? Are those leaves --- you know, those red and magenta or gold and orange souvenirs from Mother Nature that you praised just a few weeks ago --- making you crazy? Don't reach for the rake. Instead, rake in the Leaf Hog. Made by Black & Decker, this high-performance product is actually three products in one. It's a blower, vacuum and mulcher --- mulching leaves and yard debris in a ratio of 10 bags of leaves into one bag. And it does so with ease: The variable speed control "power slide" adjusts blowing speeds from a light-duty 150 mph to heavy-duty hurricane-like 200 mph; the Anti-Clog Vortex Vacuum System is designed to resist clogging, allowing those annoying acorns and tiresome twigs to easily pass through the blades. The shoulder bag attachment holds up to two bushels of leaves and features a side zipper for easy emptying. And it weighs just seven pounds!
