Fall cleanup is a ‘piece of cake’ with this Black+Decker leaf blower — it’s just $33

Before you know it, we’ll be getting a glimpse of fall in all its full-color glory — the leaves will be shifting from verdant greens to warm reds and oranges. They’re dreamy on drives through the countryside for a weekend of apple picking, but as soon as they hit the ground, they have a different reputation. Add a little rain to the leaves covering the sidewalk and you’re looking at an accident waiting to happen. But an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure — in the form of this super popular electric leaf blower from Black+Decker and it’s just $33 at Amazon.

With an air speed of 180mph, this mighty leaf blower leaves all others in the dust.

Black + Decker is a long-trusted brand, and that extends to its corded yet powerful leaf blower, which sports a 7-amp motor, and at just over four pounds is lightweight enough that — single-handedly — you can clear all the pesky foliage that fell into your yard. That alone sets it apart from the others.

And because this is an electric blower, you don’t have to worry about filling it up with gas or polluting the air with fumes. It’s just as effective as the exhaust-spewing models if you’re doing small landscaping projects — with an air speed of 180 mph, it can clear 180 cubic feet per minute. On top of that, the mighty leaf blower features an instant start, blasting away those leaves in a flash.

Nearly 22,000 reviewers were blown away by this fall must-have, rewarding it five out of five stars.

“This little blower more than meets my needs,” wrote one fan. “I have used it to sweep bushels of fall leaves off my yard and, with the nozzle extension removed, it’s great for blowing out gutters. It is powerful but light enough to use one-handed on a ladder.”

“I argued all summer with my hubby about getting a simple blower for our back patio, and I finally said, ‘Screw it! I’m going to buy it! AND just show him!’” shared a delighted shopper. “It wasn’t too much money to win the argument! He came home and was so shocked with how fast the housewifey cleaned up the yard!!”

“We didn’t want to deal with a gasoline-powered blower,” wrote one landscaper. “This has been great for leaves in the yard, and we have many oak trees that drop leaves. We have to use a long extension cord, but it’s worth it so that we don’t have to deal with the gas. It’s pretty powerful for the price.”

“The power this thing had was the real shocker!” wrote a rave reviewer. “I have a couple of large trees and lots of leaves, and this did the trick while also NOT contributing to polluting the air.”

Some shoppers had a couple of caveats, however. “I have a lot of big white pines and…[it] was a struggle trying to blow the needles out of my flower beds,” revealed one. “I ended up giving up and switching back to my 30-year-old blower.”

Another who said, “Fits my needs,” explained, “I bought this to blow off our deck and blow out our garage. It works fine and it is very lightweight. However, if you’re looking to lean up after mowing or blow piles of leaves across your yard, you’ll need something stronger.”
