  Black & Decker BV2500 Leaf Hog Vac'N'Mulch Blower/Vacuum
 
With the Black & Decker Leaf Hog, you can clean up both the deck and the lawn with one reasonably priced and easy-to-maintain machine. This blower/vac is electric, so it requires an extension cord and an electric outlet to run, but there's nothing else to set up or maintain. The 12 amp motor has considerable power for its size, more than enough to clear driveways or decks or blow off sections of lawn. At just over 7 pounds, the Leaf Hog is light enough to use for long periods of time, and it's also quiet enough to use at any time of day. Switching from blowing to vacuuming is a snap--literally. The correct button took us a moment to find, but once you've located it, you simply depress it and remove the blowing unit, then attach the vacuum extension in its place. The extension has a bag for mulch, which attaches with a small clasp. When vacuuming, the unit mulches by sucking leaves through the fan assembly. Though this model, with its patented Vortex anticlog vacuum system, does a better job of remaining unclogged than most, you still need to be careful to avoid rocks and sticks. It also has a variable-speed control that lets you choose between 150 and 200 mph blower speed.
 
  Sharper Image Cordless Makita Blower with NiMH Battery and Charger  
Makita's® renowned cordless tools include this versatile blower that earned Popular Science's "Best of What's New." It is lightweight but very powerful and features a comfortable, balanced, ergonomic grip that makes this cordless blower easy to use anywhere — unplugged — for quick and easy cleanup of leaves and debris from your yard, driveway, walkways, rooftop, gutters, workshop or vehicle. The high-performance variable-speed (0-18,000 rpm) Makita motor can blow air at 179 mph! Enjoy up to 10 minutes of blowing on a single 50-minute charge. The long nozzle attachment focuses the airflow but — when placed over the suction input — it turns this versatile tool into a handy cordless vacuum cleaner for work bench or truck bed (the included vacuum bag fits over the airflow nozzle). The Sharper Image is your only one-stop source for the complete Makita package — the cordless blower, a 14.4V NiMH rechargeable battery and the plug-in rapid charger. The blower is 18 1/2" long (with nozzle) x 8 1/2" and weighs just 4.2 lbs. (with battery). One-year warranty.
