Amazon.com Review:
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.

Rating:  - Mulching? What mulching?
Earlier reviews complained about difficulty in finding a button for mulching. I guess they were right; I couldn't find one. The instructions just say the leaves will be mulched as they go through the impeller.
After vacuuming a bunch of leaves and dumping them into a recycle bin, I couldn't really see any evidence of mulching.
The blower and vacuum work very well, however. Don't make the mistake of trying to vacuum leaves from loose dirt; you'll suck up a lot of dirt. Blow the leaves ... Read More
Rating:  - Unwieldy/Heavy/Jam Prone and broken
I got two falls out of this leaf-vac before the little male-plastic bar that holds the fan/hand unit into the blowers female part broke as I cleared the 20th jam of the day today and tried to hook the unit back together.
Before it broke...it was heavy even empty and bulky to maneuver. It jammed very easy at the narrow hole from the machine to the bag.
The bag was always flying off my shoulder no matter how I adjusted the strap.
I give it a positive review for ... Read More

I ordered this blower by black/decker, started it for first time-burnt out after few minutes. Returned and got a replacement of same item-same problem again. Bought a toro from home depot and is working fine.
Rating: - Black & Decker Electric Blower/Vacuum/Mulcher
This product is a typical, yet usable, B&D design. The handle-mounted power cord lock is somewhat difficult to use, but works fairly well after the cord is "locked" into a type of holder that could be improved. The product does what it is intended to do, no more, no less. It is a powerful vacuum and works very well with high amounts of dry leaf material. The attached bagger is somewhat cumbersome to use and empty, produces copious amounts of leaf-dust, but overall, this product works quite well ... Read More
Rating: - Good Product, Horrible Service
I ordered the Black & Decker 12-AMP Electric Blower/Vacuum/Mulcher #BV2500, it was $55.56 when i ordered it, and i cose two day shipping for an extra $12.66. Unlike any of the other 200+ items I've ordered from Amazon, for some reason this item required someone to actually be home to sign for the item so I got to sit and watch it not get delivered each day as the price dropped a couple of dollars each day after I ordered it and realized that I could've just bought the item at a local hardware store ...
