BLACK+DECKER Leaf Blower Cordless with Battery and Charger, POWERCOMMAND 40V MAX 90 CFM Variable Speed Up to 120 MPH, Battery Leaf Blower, Hard Surface and Yard Sweeper (LSW36)

The BLACK+DECKER LSW36 is a cordless 40V MAX leaf blower and yard sweeper designed to clear debris from hard surfaces such as driveways, decks, and garages. Operating at up to 120 MPH with a 90 CFM airflow, it gives homeowners a quick way to sweep away loose dirt and dry leaves without lugging around heavy equipment or managing extension cords.

Handling is straightforward thanks to a 4.7-pound frame paired with a soft grip handle. The unit features POWERCOMMAND speed control, which allows you to toggle between maximum runtime for longer clearing sessions or maximum power when tackling heavier spots. For stubborn, matted leaves or stuck-on dirt, the blow tube includes an integrated scraper to loosen debris before blowing it away.

Because this sweeper delivers 90 CFM of air volume, its focus is on hard surface sweeping rather than moving massive piles of wet lawn debris across large yards. Additionally, while the 40V MAX lithium ion battery includes a charge level indicator and recharges in 90 minutes or less with the included fast charger, overall runtime depends on which POWERCOMMAND speed setting you select.

Verdict: The BLACK+DECKER LSW36 is a solid choice for homeowners needing a lightweight, quiet tool for routine hard surface cleanup around driveways, patios, and garages. If you want an easy-to-handle sweeper with built-in speed control and simple battery monitoring, this kit fits the bill.
