 Met expectations Dec 04, 2009
By Tahoe61
I sought an effective pine needle vacuum. I bought both this B&D unit AND the Toro equivalent model. They are nearly identical in size, shape, weight, specs, performance, price, and even their red color. Both products powerfully vacuum leaves quite well, but sucking pine needles is only 50 - 70% as effective by either brand. But that's not disappointing, especially in my rocks & stones & pebbles terrain where raking is impractical. Although both use metallic blades, the B&D does a much better job of mulching leaves.

Great product especially for the little it cost Sep 24, 2009
By David Vollmer
"Memory Preserver"
I live in a zero lot-line house with very little yard but I still create grass clippings and have leaves that accumulate. I am not one who thinks it is right to blow lawn clippings and leaves into the street or someone elses yard. It is neither neighborly nor good for storm sewers. That is why I purchased an electric blower that also vacuums.
The reason I purchased the Black & Decker LH5000 is because it has a variable speed motor, vacuums as well as blows, and the bag is zipper-less with an easy to open, empty, and close arrangement. I have used zippered bags in the past with gasoline vacuums when I had a much larger yard and they are a bit of a pain to open a close after a while.
After listening to the harder items it vacuums hit the impeller blade I was glad that the blade is made out of metal instead of plastic. The variable speed knob is easy to operate and allows you to blow your clippings into pile at a lower speed before changing to the vacuum mode at a higher speed - although my cleanup area is small enough that I will probably just use the vacuum.
If you have a larger area to cover maybe an electric would not be appropriate, but for smaller yards this product is perfect.

Sure makes a pain in the neck job, easier Feb 24, 2009
By Mom Zader
"interested consumer"
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 and could have been used for a compost mix if we did that here in AZ. It sure makes a job easier and will pay for itslef rather than landscape maintenance, in a couple of uses.

Very helpful product! Oct 26, 2009

I have been pretty pleased with the LH5000. I debated on purchasing one of the less expensive versions but I am happy I bought this one as it has two features the others do not. First of all, the variable speed allows me to adjust the strength of the suction which is very helpful in flower beds with mulch and around our rock driveway so to pick up the leaves and not heavier pieces of mulch or rock. That also comes in handy around our oak trees with all of the acorns it has dropped. Second, the zipper-less bag is great. I do have to empty it regularly so it is nice to not have to mess with a zipper. I can empty the bag and have it back on the vacuum in less than a minute.
The only negative is that it is heavier than I expected and my back has ached a little after using it. (However that would probably happen if I was bending over to pick the leaves up as well.) I wish it has a strap for the vacuum itself (only the bag has a strap) that could help distribute the weight over my shoulders a little more.
Overall I think this is a very nice product that has made cleaning up the leaves in my yard much easier. It shreds the leaves into small pieces which helps fill the bags to their limit. I recommend this product to anyone unless you have back issues or cannot carry 15-20 pounds around for very long.

Black & Decker LH5000 Dec 28, 2009
By Jeff
This Blower/Vac perfomed very well. The new metal mulching blades are a big improvemnt from the old plastic ones. The zipperless bag is easy to empty. There are nylon strips inside the bag where the leaves enter that must be there for a reason I can't figure but they seem to be fraying as leaves pass through and are getting caught in the nylon threads and bunch up. They must be pulled out manually. The variable speed is great around mulched flower beds. You can set it to generate enough suction to pick up the leaves without getting much mulch. It's adjustable to add a little more, or less, suction depending on what you are picking up. Overall, this is a great improvement over the older models.
