BLACK+DECKER BEBLV301-QS review

The fastest air on this shelf at 404 km/h, with a 72-litre backpack bag, a 16:1 shredding ratio and a rake attachment.

The bottom line The fastest air here by a wide margin — 404 km/h — with a 72-litre backpack bag that is the largest on the shelf and carried on your back rather than your shoulder. A 16:1 shredding ratio, a flexible suction hose and a rake attachment in the carton.

What the maker prints on its own page

A blower and vacuum stated as ideal for quickly clearing stubborn and damp garden waste, with a shredding function that speeds composting and makes disposal easier. The figures given are 404 km/h blowing speed and 15 m³/min suction, with adjustable blowing and suction power. An innovative 72-litre backpack collection bag with a quick-release system and a flexible suction hose are stated for mobility and comfort. The robust shredding wheel reduces the volume of garden waste in a 16:1 ratio. The carton contains the machine, a suction and blow tube set, a rake attachment, the backpack bag and a shoulder strap.

The fastest air here

404 km/h, against 320, 335, 210 and 169 elsewhere on this shelf.

Air speed is what breaks a wet leaf’s grip on a surface. On a shelf where most of the useful work in November is wet leaves on paving, that is the figure worth having at the top.

The suction figure is given as 15 m³/min. Every other machine here quotes m³/h, and this site prints units as the maker wrote them — the reader should know they are looking at two different conventions rather than two different-sized numbers.

72 litres, on your back

The largest bag in the family by a wide margin, and the only one carried as a backpack.

That combination is deliberate: a bigger bag is a heavier bag, and a heavier bag on one shoulder ends a session early. Sixteen-to-one shredding and 72 litres together mean a great many leaves between trips to the heap.

The rake attachment

An unusual inclusion and a sensible one. A rake fitting on the end of the suction tube pulls matted leaves off grass so the machine can lift them, which is the situation a plain tube handles worst — wet leaves pressed into a lawn.

What is missing

The weight. On a machine with a 72-litre bag that fills with shredded leaf, it is the figure a buyer would most like before committing to an afternoon.

And no noise level on a 3000 W corded machine.

Availability

From 77 € to 117 €, that being the spread across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores on the day of the survey.

Beyond the euro zone, the British Amazon store prices it in its own currency, which the spread above sets aside.

Nothing came back from the American Amazon store at all; the buy button there runs a search rather than opening an empty page.

The declared figures, and the point they stop at

Strengths

  • The fastest air speed on the shelf and a stated suction volume as well
  • A 72-litre backpack bag — the largest here, and carried on the back rather than a shoulder
  • A rake attachment and a flexible suction hose in the carton

Compromises

  • The suction volume is quoted in m³/min where the rest of the shelf uses m³/h
  • No weight, and a 72-litre bag full of shredded leaf is heavy on your back
  • No noise figure, on a 3000 W machine

What this machine usually gets asked

Is 15 m³/min a lot?

It is a large figure in a different unit: per minute rather than per hour, which is how the rest of this shelf quotes volume. This site prints the unit as the maker wrote it rather than converting, because a converted number is a number the manufacturer never published.

What does 16:1 shredding mean?

The maker states the impeller reduces the volume of garden waste in that ratio, so the bag holds sixteen times as much leaf as it would unshredded. It is the figure that decides how often you walk to the heap, and four machines here publish one.

Is a backpack bag better than a shoulder bag?

For long sessions, substantially. A full bag of shredded leaf is a real weight, and carried on two shoulders and a waist it is manageable where on one strap it is not. It is also slower to empty.

Who this one is for

A large garden with trees, where an autumn session means filling a bag several times
