Buyers beware! I have purchased two of these units previously and they came with two batteries. Black & Decker recently decided to delete one of the batteries from the unit and raise the price by about 5 bucks. It now comes with ONLY ONE BATTERY and it really needs two. Quite sneaky if you ask me. Some of the reviews here indicate the unit comes with two batteries. They are old reviews so buyers beware. The replacement batteries are quite expensive, do not last very long, and cost more than half the price of the unit. That's just silly. I would not buy this unit again.

The electric broom is light-weight and easy to handle. We use it often since we live on a corner property surrounded by Sycamore trees. The only drawback is that the charge doesn't last very long.

I found that this blower does just as advertised, it's a broom and that is what I wanted. At the end of mowing the lawn this blower cleans the grass clippings off the sidewalk and driveway for a neat looking job. The battery lasts for the work needed done, which I use for two yards on one battery. The battery will give you plenty of life if charged up just before use. I plug it in the night before and leave it until the next morning. Have also used the same battery with the weed trimmer and then put it in the blower.
If you want to blow a large amount of leaves into a pile and expect it to act like a motor driven blower, then you will be disapointed, but if you just want to clean up the grass clippings without carrying around the heavy motor driven blower, this little blower does the job.

I absolutely love this blower. I can clean all the leaves and debris from around my house and the driveway on just one battery. It came with 2 batteries but so far I've only needed 1. It's extremely lightweight so you don't get tired. After using this we bought the 8" chain saw and 8" pole chain saw (bare) without batteries because we could use the ones that came with the blower. This is a very well designed series

I bought the B&D cordless broom two months ago and it has saved me much time in sweeping my driveway. Using a regular broom was such a pain! Now I complete the task in a quarter of the time - and it does a better job. Note that this is the first time I've used a blower.

The blower is very light and very easy to use. No extention cords or gas is needed. I just insert the battery.

My driveway is about 50' by 15', and I have trees constantly dropping leaves. So it takes some time to gather the small leaves.
The only negative is that the battery lasts just long enough to sweep my driveway. If you need to sweep a larger area, I would recommend buying a second battery (which I have done).

I would highly recommend this product!
