Original Review
-----------------------------------------------------
I bought this for leaf cleanup around the house.
I figured I'd be able to use both the modes - the blow mode to move leaves, and the vaccuum mode to pick up leaves. Well the blow mode works great, but the vac mode is too weak to pick up leaves.
To pick up leaves the open end of the vac nozzle has to be very low to the ground - 1 or 2 inches. Even at this height it struggles to pick up leaves. I'm not talking about wet leaves here, these were dry leaves I was trying to pick up.
If you are looking for a vac, this is not it. It works great as a blower, but if that's all you are looking for you can probably save a few bucks by buying a tool that is blower only.
I'll leave one more thought - I read a couple of other reviews where the tool failed to start. Mine wouldn't start after the first use either. After that I let it sit in the garage for a few days. I then was going to return it, but thought I would try it one last time. I plugged it in and it fired up. It has since started the couple times that I've used it... I'm hoping it does continue to start.
-----------------------------------------------------
One Year Update
-----------------------------------------------------
When I originally wrote the review I could not get the tool to vacuum leaves. I have since figured out that it was the bag that was causing me problems:
Firstly, the bag is too small to do leaf pickup. It will fill up quickly, which means a lot of taking it off, dumping it, and putting it back on.
Secondly, if the bag is not held at the correct angle, the intake into the bag will choke off. My guess is that the choking is why I had so much trouble with the vacuuming initially. I would also speculate and say this is one of the reasons for the reviews here that state that the tool fails after a couple uses.
Because of the bag issues above, I bought the BLACK+DECKER BV-006L Blower/Vacuum Leaf Collection System . Paired with this tool I am able to mulch leaves into a 30+ gallon garbage can. This resolves both problems above. However, the airflow into the garbage generates a ton of dust. I would recommend some kind of dust mask when mulching.
I can say that using the mulcher with the leaf collection system has saved me a lot of time. Far better than raking!
Just one more thing... I'd be a little warry of the 4.2 Star rating on amazon. If you check fakespot the BV3600 gets a D rating. I would give it a D-.
Update Dec 12, 2022: After getting a new leaf bag, I've had had to return this awful product the third time to B&D. The last 2 returns were still within the warranty period, but what a hassle. This product should have lasted at least 3 years minimum. The last 2 returns were for failed switches. I'm very disappointed with Black and Decker product quality. They used to (20-30 years ago) make good quality stuff.
Update Jan 25, 2022: After contacting Black and Decker, they are sending a new bag for the leaf vacuum. Their customer service was courteous and supportive. Overall rating bumped up from 2 to 4 stars. Will update again if any further issues come up, but so far I'm pleased with the suction power and durability of the unit.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I've had a couple of these blower/vacuums in the past and have been satisfied with performance and durability. The first time is used this one, the leaf bag split at the seam and was blowing dust and debris out of the split seam. The bag is cheap and flimsy and appears to be made out of sheet material, unlike the last one which was heavy duty canvas material.
