The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the BLACK+DECKER LB700 is the entry-level corded blower that most shoppers actually end up buying, with roughly 30,000 Amazon ratings averaging 4.6. Verified-purchase reviewers on homedepot.com, walmart.com and lowes.com consistently praise its very light 4.4-lb weight and its ability to clear porches, driveways and small yards quickly. The recurring framing is "good for the money," not "good in absolute terms." Specialist-community sentiment in r/lawncare is more measured.
What reviewers liked
- ~30,000 Amazon ratings at 4.6 average, with retailer review summaries consistently positive on value
- Just 4.4 lbs by the manufacturer spec repeated in retailer listings, comfortable for one-handed use
- Lowes.com and walmart.com reviewers praise reliability and longevity for the price
- Plug-and-go simplicity, no battery, no gas, no priming
Where it falls short
- At 7 amps and 180 CFM, r/lawncare commenters say it's underpowered for wet or heavy leaves
- Walmart.com reviewers explicitly note it can't handle larger debris loads
- No vacuum or mulching mode
- Loud relative to its output, per scattered retailer comments

Specialist-community sentiment in r/lawncare is more measured. Posters in budget-blower threads acknowledge the LB700 as adequate for light cleanup but note that 7 amps and 180 CFM is a clear step down from 12-amp units when leaves are wet or piled deep. Walmart.com reviewers echo this, repeatedly saying it handles porches well but "would not handle" larger loads.
For a single-purpose tool aimed at decks, garages, sidewalks and small lots, the trust-weighted consensus is positive. Shoppers expecting it to substitute for a 12-amp turbine or a gas handheld will be disappointed.
