The Black & Decker NSW18 sweeper is a very interesting blower. It is cordless, so you are not limited by a cord. Despite having a 18V NiCad battery, it is lightweight, only 4.8 pounds. It gets even better, the price is also very attractive.

Note that the Black & Decker NSW18 is best for clearing debris from hard surfaces like patios, decks, walkways, driveways and garages. You can use to clean the lawn if the grass is short but for lawns you really need a more powerful model, a corded blower is the best solution. The Toro 51609 is a 3-1 blower/vacuum/mulcher, which is powerful enough for cleaning lawns. It has a very attractive price, you can learn more about the Toro 51609 blower/vacuum here.

The battery will last for about 15 minutes, after that the performance starts to suffer. Unfortunately, it takes several hours to charge the NiCad battery but that is seldom a big problem. If you need to use it for longer periods of time, you can buy a second battery.

For a blower, the Black & Decker NSW18 is relatively quiet, less than 65 dB. It comes with a limited 2 year warranty. The box is very small but don’t panic, it contains everything despite the small size.

All in all, the Black & Decker NSW18 sweeper is a good solution for cleaning hard surfaces, such as patios and driveways, you are not limited by a cord. But it is not very powerful, for heavier cleaning tasks you need a corded blower or a gas powered blower.
