Customer Feedback — Summary
User reviews show this blower is well-liked for its lightweight feel and surprisingly strong airflow for a 20V handheld device. Owners especially note good performance on dry leaves and light debris, and appreciate the convenience of a cordless kit that includes battery and charger.
Common praise
- Lightweight and easy to maneuver for extended tasks.
- Good airflow for clearing leaves and light debris; comparable to larger blowers for many household jobs.
- Two-speed setting provides a lower-power option to extend runtime.
Common concerns
- Included 2.0 Ah battery is small for heavier or longer jobs — many users recommend 3.0 Ah, 5.0 Ah or 7.5 Ah replacement batteries for much longer runtime and stronger sustained power.
- Some users reported the unit shutting down on high speed (overload/thermal protection) when paired with small-capacity batteries.
- The axial design has a wider exhaust (less concentrated nozzle) and the intake can be closer to clothing, so take care when operating.
Representative User Comments
“This blower is GREAT!… With a 5 ah battery I can do 75% of my porch… with the 7.5 ah, all the way baby! With the 2 ah… NO!” — satisfied owner recommending higher-capacity batteries.
Tips for Best Performance
- Use a higher-capacity 20V MAX battery (3.0 Ah or larger) if you plan to run this on high or cover larger areas — this greatly improves runtime and sustained power.
- Use the lower speed for light cleanup and the higher speed for concentrated clearing; give the unit short rests if it gets hot to avoid thermal cutout.
- Keep the intake clear of loose clothing and debris and angle the nozzle close to the ground for tougher wet patches or compacted leaves.
Who Should Buy This
- Homeowners with small to medium yards who want a lightweight, cordless blower for routine cleanup.
- Users who already own BLACK+DECKER 20V batteries — batteries are interchangeable across many B+D tools.
- Anyone looking for a portable, easy-to-store blower that handles dry leaves and light debris well.
Conclusion
The BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Cordless Leaf Blower (BCBL700D1) is a convenient, lightweight option for everyday yard cleanup. It delivers strong airflow for a 20V handheld unit and comes as a ready-to-use kit with battery and charger. For the best experience, pair it with a higher-capacity 20V battery to avoid limited runtime and occasional thermal cutouts reported by some users.
