The Black and Decker Leaf Blower model BV2500 Blower Vac acts as a blowe and a vacuum, as the name implies. The electric motor is 12 amps, with an air speed of 200 miles per hour (MPH). The mulch ratio is 10:1 when used as a vacuum picking up dry leaves. This machine will reduce 10 bushels of leaves into a tidy 1 bushel bundle, saving on time and space. The sound level is a conservative 65 decibels (db), and the weight is 8.1 lbs. A leaf bag comes standard. Plan on spending about $55.00 for this basic machine.

The Black and Decker model BV3600 is also powered by the 12 amp electric motor. Also considered a blower/ vac combo, this machine also boasts of a 10:1 mulch ratio.

The price this cool baby is about $60.00.
