 A lightweight, cordless design makes this hard surface sweeper easy for anyone to handle. View larger. |
An included 18-volt rechargeable battery delivers enough power to clear garages, walkways, and decks of any loose debris. Since there are no cords to worry about, you're free to reach the remote corners of your property without needing to search for an available outlet. The battery stows in the charger and is fully charged in eight hours. You can also swap the battery among your other Black & Decker cordless lawn tools.
Less Noise and No Emissions
Black & Decker designed this sweeper to dramatically cut back on noise levels common in many other sweepers or blowers. Less noise helps protect your hearing and makes using the sweeper a much more pleasant experience, for you and your neighbors. There's no messy up-keep found with blowers that use gas and oil, and zero emissions to harm the environment.
Light Weight for Easy Use
At less than five pounds, the cordless broom is light enough for almost any user. Its light weight makes it easier to control where debris goes. The tool also features a large single on/off switch makes operation simple.
The Black & Decker 18 Volt Cordless Broom Hard Surface Sweeper is covered by a two-year warranty.

This review is from: Black & Decker NS118 18-Volt Cordless Electric Broom Hard Surface Sweeper (Lawn & Patio)
Update to the review below:
Six years later, April 2010, the unit is still blowing away. I've been able to buy better batteries from Home Depot, and get about 17 minutes of solid blowing time even two years after I bought the better batteries. I'm now shopping for a more up-to-date unit hoping for better battery life and more volume. That said, I still really like this unit. I have a medium-size suburban house sitting on about half an acre. In the past year I've used this to: -clear the walks after mowing and/or trimming, -keep the garage floor swept out (great especially in the fall) and -clear off my deck in less than a minute. Great complement to the cordless trimmer in this family (the batteries are interchangeable). Big pluses: light and simple to use; enough wind for small-to-medium jobs (get a gas-powered blower if you can't use a rake for your leaves) and enough battery power for about 10-to- 15 minutes of blowing. Minuses: Battery life a little short, especially with the basic batteries that ship with the unit. You can buy better batteries, but they're not cheap and not as easy to find. The blower is not good for year-round outdoor use in the north (they say you shouldn't charge this thing in temps below 40, and cold performance suffers significantly, IMHO). Be CAREFUL! This is does NOT necessarily use the same battery as B&D Firestorm products. Some Firestorm batteries are the wrong size and voltage. Others have a stub which fits into the handle; the compatible B&D 18v products look like a big fat black Advil tablet (sort of). I will probably buy most of the B&D products that are compatible, eventually. They seem to work for me.

Pretty good - but don't get rid of your corded blower,
By A Customer
This review is from: Black & Decker NS118 18-Volt Cordless Electric Broom Hard Surface Sweeper (Lawn & Patio)
I just bought the B&D NS118 blower along with the NST2018 cordless string trimmer. I have a corner lot with long parkways and a lot of sidewalk footage, and have grown tired of dealing with up to 175 feet of extension cables for my corded trimmer and blower. I've had a nice battery-powered mower for several years, and felt it was time to go all cordless. This new pair of tools seemed promising, particularly because of the removable battery design.After only one use I can say I'm reasonably satisfied, but not fully sold. Handling: This is probably one of the lightest blowers available and is easy to handle. But the way the nozzle attaches is not good at all. It's difficult to remove, and the design invites finger accidents. Power: The blower is nowhere near as powerful as my corded one. B&D refers to this as a "broom" and that's an appropriate description. It works well on surfaces where you might otherwise use a push broom. It's not good at getting leaves out of grass or flowerbeds. But in a way, the lower airflow can be better for sweeping than a corded blower. My corded one, even at its low setting, can often send debris flying all over the place. This one calmly moves stuff where you want it to go. Battery: The batteries are compact. The blower comes with two of them, and I needed them both to complete one job. I guess I'm okay with this approach. It makes sense to lug around only as much weight as is necessary rather than carry a much heavier battery the whole time. If you buy this along with a trimmer as I did, you'll have four batteries and two chargers available for swapping. And if you happen to have a FireStorm 18v drill, you can apparently swap batteries with that system as well. Quality: Build quality seems similar to most B&D stuff, meaning it will probably work for a few years. Overall: Going cordless does simplify my work and save me time, but this tool isn't appropriate for all cleanup jobs. I have a month to make up my mind about keeping it. But even if it passes muster, I suspect I'll want to hang onto my corded blower for the occasional heavy job.

Perfect for those pinpoint quick clean-up jobs, especially around a pool !,
By WSJ (So. Cal. USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Black & Decker NS118 18-Volt Cordless Electric Broom Hard Surface Sweeper (Lawn & Patio)
We live in So. California with lots of cement decks and brick hardscape in both front and back. We also have a fairly large pool with many bougainvillea plants constantly in bloom.
Having used both a gas powered blower (too strong an airstream) and an electric in the past and not wanting to take a chance on dragging the electric cord thru the pool, we really wanted something that could pinpoint the stream a little better so as not to blow half the dust and leaves back in the water. The Black and Decker Cordless Broom fits the job perfectly. Every morning about 8:am (the cordless blower is relatively quiet) I go out for my routine yard maintenance and in ten minutes the job is done and I then switch batteries from the charger so that the next day, it's ready for duty. Bottom line, it's simply a wonderful little machine.
