battery life is terrible
I purchased this B&D cordless blower a few months ago. Being summer, I had little use for it now, waiting for fall to blow gutters and driveways. I am totally disappointed. It takes me 3 BATTERY CHARGES to blow my garage and 40 foot double driveway free of pine needles and maple seeds! I would never buy this product unless you need a blower for a 5 MINUTE job because that is all one battery charge lasts!
