The Vacuum bag zipper got jammed and can't open after about 3 months. So, the vacuum option is not available.

I've had this unit for maybe 3 years. I only use the blower.But I need it to keep small rocks on the cement surround in our desert home, from getting into my swimming pool. Our pool is open 8 months and so I use it almost daily.

I like the way this product handles. I use the vacuum the most. But it is dissapointing that the suction power only picks up very small leaves and not larger leaves. It is constantly getting clogged. I don't understand wy B&D cannot make a coordless vacuum with more suction and a higher mulch ratio.

I purchased this unit for the specific purpose of having a cordless vac I can use in my house to pick up dog hair from hardwood and tile flooring. It works! My regular corded vacuum is heavy and awkward, and my Ryobi battery powered mini-vac would get clogged quickly with hair. After charging the battery and assembling this unit, I was able to do the whole place in less time than I've been spending sweeping up clumps of dog hair. The adjustable power setting on the lowest (1) worked just fine for this purpose. It's loud and unusual, I know, but for my purposes, it works great. And, I can also use it as a blower outside on the deck and patio areas.
