The Black & Decker BV3100 is a corded 12-amp electric tool that works as a leaf blower, vacuum and mulcher. It blows up to 210 mph and has two speeds, so you can switch between light sweeping and heavy leaf piles. The mulcher compresses roughly 10 bags of leaves into 1, which cuts down on yard waste. It suits homeowners with small to mid-size yards who want one tool for fall cleanup and don't mind a power cord. Corded rivals in this class typically offer similar blow speeds but fewer combine blower, vacuum and mulcher in one unit.
