Some of the practical points about the LH5000
The fact that the leaf collector is a zipperless bag means that leaves don’t get caught in a zipper wasting time.
The blade is metal because this makes it more resistant to damage from small stones and debris.
Also the powerful motor mashes or pulverized the leaves making them easier to get rid of in far less space – reducing 16 bags of leaves to one bag of mulch. (And perhaps reducing your yard maintenance bill too.)
This can be used as a mulch on selected beds and borders or put into a composter.
One satisfied customer said
” This leaf blower is relatively quiet and light weight; above all we liked the zipperless bag so leaves don’t get caught in a zipper and waste time; also was surprised that it sort of pulverized the leaves making them easier to get rid of in far less space”

This is a quiet and low weight tool that Black and Decker describe as an Electric Broom. It is designed to do simple jobs like keeping cement decks and garage floors neat and clear of debris and it does that job well.
Being cordless means that it can be used at a distance from the house and around water –you don’t want to dragging a long cord around a pool.
This is not a replacement for a powerful leaf blower needed in the fall – it is an electric broom and does that job very well.
One customer says of the Black and Decker NS118:
“Every morning about 8:am (the cordless blower is relatively quiet) I go out for my routine yard maintenance and in ten minutes the job is done and I then switch batteries from the charger so that the next day, it’s ready for duty.”
