BLACK+DECKER LB700 Corded Blower review

A $42 corded blower with 30,000 ratings, weighing 4.4 lb. It suits porches and short driveways more than a yard of leaves.

Small and cheap

At 4.4 pounds and $42, the LB700 is about as simple as a blower gets. It has by far the most ratings here at a 4.6 average.

Know its size

CFM measures how much air moves, and 180 is at the low end. Air speed alone can make a blower look stronger than it is.

Safe use

Wear eye and hearing protection, and keep the air stream away from people and pets. Noise figures on listings do not always say whether they are sound power or sound pressure.

Prices quoted in this text are dated readings and can differ from the live price in the buy box.

What this machine usually gets asked

Does it come with a cord?

No. The listing says an extension cord is not included.

Is 180 CFM enough for leaves?

It suits light sweeping. For a lawn full of leaves, look at the 3-in-1 corded machines with 350 CFM and up.

Our score

8.3/ 10

The best small-job blower for the money. Not for autumn leaves on a big lawn.
