Our take on the Craftsman CSE Electric Blower Vacuum

The Craftsman CSE is a corded 12-amp handheld that blows, vacuums and mulches yard debris in one tool. It moves up to 385 CFM at 230 MPH and shreds leaves into a 55 L backpack collection bag, so you get continuous power with no battery to recharge. At $99.99 at Lowe's as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, with 4 stores pricing it new.

Best forSmall to mid-size yards up to about 1/4 acreFall leaf cleanup and mulching for compost or bagsBuyers who want corded power without battery costLight residential medium-duty use
Pros
  • Strong airflow for the class: 385 CFM and 230 MPH
  • Three modes in one tool: blow, vacuum, mulch
  • Anti-clog impeller reduces mulching stoppages
  • Corded power runs as long as you need
  • 55 L backpack bag holds a lot of shredded leaves
  • Variable speed gives control near flower beds and gravel
Cons
  • Cord limits reach and means dragging an extension cord
  • 9 lb tool plus a full backpack bag gets tiring
  • Plastic housing and medium-duty build suit light residential work only
  • Mulching wet or heavy debris can still clog
  • No battery option, so it is not for quick grab-and-go use

What reviewers say

Owners of corded Craftsman blower-vac-mulchers generally rate the suction and mulching useful for fall cleanup and note the cord as the main trade-off. Reports on this class of tool commonly mention clogging with damp leaves and the bag filling fast.

Pros
  • Good suction for vacuuming leaves off lawns and beds
  • Mulching cuts leaf volume enough to fit more in yard bags
  • Simple switch between blower and vacuum modes
Cons
  • Cord management is awkward on larger yards
  • Clogs with wet or stringy debris
  • Backpack bag gets heavy when full

Questions and answers

Is the Craftsman CSE worth it over a battery blower?
If you have an outdoor outlet and a yard up to about 1/4 acre, yes. You get 385 CFM and 230 MPH with no battery or recharge cost. A battery blower wins only if you need to work far from power.
How does it compare with a gas blower?
It is lighter to start and needs no fuel or oil, but 385 CFM is below most handheld gas blowers. For light residential leaf cleanup and mulching, the corded electric setup is simpler and cheaper to run.
What is included in the box?
One CMEBL700 blower/vac/mulcher and one collection bag for vacuum operation. You supply your own outdoor extension cord.
Can it mulch leaves into the bag?
Yes. The anti-clog impeller shreds leaves as they are vacuumed into the 55 L backpack bag, so you empty it less often. Dry leaves mulch best; damp leaves can clog.
When is the price lowest?
Leaf blowers usually drop in fall clearance and spring promotions. The current $99.99 at Lowe's as of November 4, 2026 is already near the bottom of its recent range across 4 stores.
Where is the Craftsman CSE Electric Blower Vacuum cheapest?
At Lowe's, for $99.99, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Craftsman CSE Electric Blower Vacuum?
4 stores we checked sell it, including Lowe's, MROSupreme.com, eBay, Saratoga Quality Hardware.
