Featuring an impressive blow speed of up to 240 MPH to tackle hard-to-remove items like wet leaves and pine needles, the #LH5000 also boasts a metal mulching impeller that condenses 16 bags of leaves into just one bag. Additionally, it supplies 385 CFM air volume for quick and easy vacuuming and mulching. For optimum control, the variable speed switch ensures you always match the air flow to the job at hand, and a generously sized, zipper-free bag keeps operation simple and efficient.

Customer Reviews For Black & Decker LH5000 12 Amp Variable Speed Electric Leaf Hog Blower / Vacuum With Zipper-Less Leaf Bag |
 Great product especially for the little it cost |
| Review Date: September 24, 2009 |
| Reviewer: David Vollmer, Memphis, TN |
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. |
Excellent product

| I had a previous version of the leaf hog that I was satisfied with but when it burned out, I was in the market for another. This model is a noticeable improvement. The steel propeller is a key upgrade as is as the zipperless bag. It is relatively light weight and very powerful. I could not find this at home depot and was delighted that amazon offered it. |
Better than Toro...

| I owned an earlier generation Leaf Hog (with plastic impeller) and loved it. By the time it finally broke (motor burned out I think), the leaf collection bag was almost worn through. A real work horse that gave me 4 or 5 years of great service. When it broke I bought a Toro in the same $80-100 price range. Big mistake. Swapping the Toro from blower to mulcher/vac mode was a nightmare. The fittings were so tight that I couldn't get them on/off easily even after trying to sand the mating surface and lube them with silicon spray. Then, after barely a year of use the motor fried. I just got the new LH5000 and it is great to have the old orange workhorse back!! The variable speed mode does come in handy for when you're finishing blowing leaves into a pile. If you have only one speed (high) it's tough to corral(SP?) the last leaves together. Back off the throttle on this one and it's easy to use just the right blow-power to get the leaves into a smaller pile for pickup. The new zipperless bag design works well but although it should last longer it's not easier to use than the zipper version was. That's a trade-off... no zipper to break, but hey.. that zipper was fast and easy. Overall, no regrets.. the new wiggle-action nozzle is actually surprisingly effective too. Great product. (Oh, this one has an alluminum impeller too... not that the plastic one I used before ever broke but this is a nice update to the product!) |
awesome

| Reviewer: gsb guy, |
| just got this and can see why so many others love it. it was my first blower/vac so needed to get used to it but once i got the hang of it, very smoothe. i don't agree with the bag ratio, i think it is more like 5:1, but the zipper-less bag is great. put it in a 30lit bag or directly in a 30gal can and drop in from the bottom. only problem is that i lost the attachment in the dark on the first day.... i hope i find it tomorrow morning because from the reviews of the replacement bag (with zipper), that will be a long day. |
Met expectations

| 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. |
