Black & Decker LSW20 Cordless Sweeper is Awesome,
The B&D LSW20 has greater power, less weight and less noise than the previous version, which I purchased from Amazon a few years ago (still works very well). The 20V Lithium battery lasts 3 times longer than the former 18V Ni-cad battery. It works a full 30 minutes before recharge.

|Good for patios and driveways,
I already own a powerful electric blower and an even more powerful gas blower that can blow heavy piles of leaves in the fall. However, when I had a new patio installed this summer, I wanted a lightweight cordless blower where I didn’t have to worry about the electrical cord getting wrapped around the legs of my patio tables and chairs. After some research I purchased this unit and am glad that I did. Here is why I like this.
1. Assembly is simple. Just put the two pieces of the nozzle together, attach to the main unit, then attach the battery pack after it finishes charging. A green light blinks during the charging process and turns solid green when charging is complete. You can leave the battery in the charger after charging is complete without harming the battery, so that way you always have a fully charged battery. Taking the battery pack on and off is simple and effortless.
2. This is relatively lightweight, easy to hold and maneuver, and feels well balanced even with the battery pack on. And I love the convenience of not having an electric cord.
3. Of course this does not have the same power as a gas or electric blower. But for my patio it is perfect. Ditto for my driveway. Neither has large accumulations of leaves or dirt, so this unit is just perfect. However for fall cleanup of lots of leaves on your lawn, this is not the unit to use.
4. My typical cleanup lasts under 15 minutes, and this unit has plenty of power during that entire time. I have not tested how long the battery will last on a single charge.
Bottom line: This unit works well for light duty use to clean leaves and debris off patios and driveways. For your lawn and extended usage times get something else.
Update October 18, 2012: Fall is in full swing in New Jersey and the leaves are coming down. This product has been an effortless way for me to clear the leaves off my front walkway, driveway, and patio.
Update May 13, 2013: Each spring lots of “stuff” (not leaves) falls down from all the trees on my property and makes a mess of my patio and driveway. This product is great for quickly cleaning it up. It’s especially convenient to just aim this at my patio furniture or the cars in my driveway and blow off all the debris.
Also, I had forgotten to remove the battery and charge it after the last time I used this product over six months ago in the fall to clean up leaves. Guess what? It started up just fine, though not surprisingly I ran out of a charge after about ten minutes. From now on I make sure to just leave the battery in the charger when I am done.
