BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX* POWERCONNECT Cordless String Trimmer Lawn Edger and Leaf Blower Combo Kit, Includes 2 Batteries and Charger, Weed Wacker Hard Surface Sweeper 10 in. (LCC222)

I purchased this combo because it is a great coat effective weed eater and blower. It is lightweight and very easy to use. Others who have purchased say it is for small areas and light use however I used it on high weeds around my lake. It did a great job. I received 2 batteries and a charger which did help to continue with the job. Each battery lasted at least 20-30 minutes depending on the extent of the weeds. I previously owned a black and decker weede eater that was given to me by my dad and I used it for about 1 1/12 years so I had 2 other batteries. The automatic feed was a great surprise. I have not experienced any glitches with the automatic feed.I would definitely recommend the weed eater. I really don’t have any bad things to say about the weed eater.The blower is also lightweight and easy to use. It is good for lightweight clippings. I do feel that it is lacking in power in blowing small rocks or making leg back into place.Although I do like black and decker products I would not recommend buying the blower if you were to purchase it alone. It is fine as a combo package and still worth the price

Quiet but battery doesn’t last long. It does come with two batteries so it does help. They are well made and I’m glad I got this set.

This is a review of floor sweeper/blower. Mine is the theLSW221 Type2 20v Max. It is a single speed with simple thumb switch. Had no issues with operation or battery life. Use everyday. Its low output is great for sweeping bare floors, ceilings, walls, drapes and furniture, drying wet floors. THIS NOT A LEAF BLOWER, but will clean sidewalks after weed trimming. I use with B&D BHFEA Type2 20v Max stick vac to clean house and workshop, garage and carport any many other things. Weed trimmer works its lightweight and light duty, but does the job if it’s small. I have heavy duty tools for all these tools, but I use the battery powered tools all the time. Have many B&D tools and batteries, and Porter Cable tools and a stack of batteries, which can easily be modified to work in either/or. Haven’t run down a battery yet with each use. Attention Black and Decker R&D, developed and provide 3” diameter scrub brush for weed trimmer along with adjustable speed. It’s the perfect size and weight for floor scrubber.

The trimmer and blower both work great. The trimmer is light and basic but it really does the job. It's wonderful that it feeds line without me needing to tap the head on the ground. I also love it that you can just pop in a replacement spool of line (which I haven't needed to do yet because it lasts) rather than go through the process of taking off a spool and winding new line onto it which can tangle (which always happened with my old gas trimmer). And having it run by battery and not having to pour in a gas/oil mixture is great. As for the blower, yes it is not very powerful. I do have a gas/oil backpack blower that is very powerful. But for smaller jobs, it's a pain filling the gas and strapping it on my back. I love using this B&D blower for blowing leaves and dust from my garage floor and blowing grass off my sidewalks after I mow the lawn. But the main reason that I bought this trimmer/blower combo is that they use the same 20V batteries that I already use for my B&D hedge trimmer and my soil tiller. Now I have a bunch of B&D batteries so that I'll always have a few charged and ready to go.

After growing up in a farm house of Stihl products, I knew that after moving into the city I didn't want to bother with mixing and storing gas/oil for my small lawn, so when I saw this battery powered combo go on sale, I knew I wanted to try it.Mostly weed whacker/battery information:Honestly, for $90 it gets the job done, so long as the job isn't really big. I've got about a third of an acre and I do a little bit of work trimming and edging every few days when I get an extra hour, and it's worked out pretty well. Yesterday I did a rough edge on my driveway and about half the sidewalk before having to call it quits and recharge the battery.Fully charged I get somewhere between 25 - 30 minutes per battery, and since it comes with 2 batteries it kind of works out for the schedule I set for myself. It does feel like it takes hours for each one to completely charge, which can be annoying when you're trying to knock something out or hit a specific goal. The battery situation is probably my least favorite part of this deal.My first week with the wacker was a hate/hate relationship, but upon reflection I was trying to tear through some small sprouting maple trees and tall weeds along my fence and garage, and more than once did I mess up the feed line. But the head comes off easy (two small buttons to depress), and once you remove the spool and rewind the line and get it back through the hole, you get back to work pretty easily. Once I figured out the kinks, I'm happy with it's performance. The general upkeep after my initial whack has been easy and fast and it only takes a few minutes to clear my fences and garage and driveway each week. I've now advanced into all of my edging which takes a lot more time with this. It has some power, but it takes multiple go overs to try and chip away at any sense overgrown grass.The blower:So far I love the blower. It handles the grass clippings with ease, the whirlybirds from our neighbors maple tree, deer poop, and even the corn my 5yr old throws all over the driveway for the squirrels. I haven't had to do heavy leaves or really wet grass yet, but so far I think it's the stronger half of this combo.All-In-All: Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. It's a nice little set if you're looking for something to get you started and do a little work, but if you're continuously doing yard work or looking for a big clean up helper, I'd look at a stronger model, or go electric/gas.EDIT: So I've been using this for a year now and it has still held up. I whack after every mow, and no joke - I fought the extremely slow (trickle) charger they sent with this every time. It got real annoying trying to remember if I switched the batteries so the other could charge.Over time I somehow managed to smack the trimmer into sitting at a weird angle, so now when I mow I have to keep it half cocked to the side to get it straight, and then exaggerate it the other way to go up and down. As the primary user I know how it works, but if someone else were to try it they'd probably hate it.Other than that it has held up.My own tips: if you're planning on mowing through some big stuff with it - advance your line so you have a lot of line for whipping. Really helps knock it down and it chews it back down to 'normal' length pretty fast. I also recommend spending a little more on a Black and Decker base charger if you plan on doing a lot of work. I hadn't even thought about one till Amazon suggested one that was on sale, and I cannot believe I played with that annoying supplied charger this long. Spend the extra $25 and get a real charger. Mount it somewhere. Charge your battery in 40 minutes (as opposed to 4 hours) and avoid the headache. Hope to update you next year!
