Black+Decker VACPACK Leaf Blower, Vacuum, and Mulcher

The backpack design shifts the weight of the motor and collection bag from your arm to your back, which significantly reduces fatigue during longer yard cleanup sessions. While it is slightly heavier at 15.3 pounds, the ergonomic distribution makes it much easier to handle for extended periods.

No, the unit comes with an integrated backpack collection bag. This bag is designed to be zipper-free with a wide opening, allowing you to empty the mulched leaves quickly and easily without dealing with jammed zippers.

The POWERBOOST button provides an immediate surge of extra airflow for clearing stubborn, wet, or matted leaves that standard settings might struggle to move. It is an on-demand feature intended for those moments when you need maximum suction or blowing force.

While it is excellent for clearing sidewalks and driveways, its 400 CFM performance is also capable of handling leaf collection across lawns. Keep in mind that as a corded electric tool, your range will be limited by the length of your extension cord.

The unit is designed to convert easily between modes without requiring complex tools. You simply swap the tubes and attach the collection bag to transition from blowing to vacuuming and mulching.

Because this is a 12-amp corded tool, you should use a heavy-duty, outdoor-rated extension cord. Check your cord's packaging to ensure it is rated for at least 12 amps to prevent voltage drop and ensure the motor runs at peak performance.
