Is the sweeper function the same as a blower? If not, what is the purpose of this function?

Not sure on what they meant by that. Blower blows and with minor change out it becomes more or less a vacume. Could one consider either of these to be sort of sweeping? That may be left to interpritation??

The sweeper function is very unique. The blower function is a standard blower much like other blowers. When the sweeper function is activated, through a series of specific button pressing, dozen of sweeper fairies exit the blower nozzle and magically begin sweeping the area in front of your blower. The finished product is outstanding and I can't imagine why anyone would ever use the blower function alone.

sweeper is when you reverse the tubes so it is vacume instead of blower. sucks leaves etc into the attached bag. if you blow, you detach the bag. we sweep up leaves in a small area. only works well on DRY leaves in SMALL quantities

The sweeper vacuums and deposits in an attached bag, while the blower blows yard waste. The bag is not used to blow, but attaches easily for sweeping up items.

This is a light duty machine and the blower function acts rather like a broom when blowing objects and debris on smooth surfaces like garage floors and patios. The vacuum is adequate for small and DRY debris such as leaves. It clogs easily if anything is wet. The main advantage of this machine is the excellent ergonomics and being free of a cord. But don't expect the same kind of blowing or sucking power of a corded or gasoline powered machine. I am happy with mine for what it can do, but I also have to use a corded machine for the tougher jobs.

The sweeper is a mini-vacuum. I use this mode for cleaning out my car, where I don't want to blow debris around, I want to suck it up into the bag for disposal. The blower works great for chasing leaves out of the garage and off the sidewalk. It's really nice to have both, and switching from one to the other is really easy with the B&D; sweeper/vac.

yes. it works like a carpet sweeper, in my opinion. go back and forth. we have hardwood and area rugs and are very happy with it.

Its not nearly as loud as my shop vac nor nearly as powerful as a regular leaf blower. It's something to dry my motorcycle with or quickly blow around doors or clean off the shop floor. Its not too loud and its not a replacement for a real leaf blower. Its a quick no cord alternative for short duration jobs.

No. A rolling set of bristles sweep dry fragments and whole leaves into the catcher and does this best when the ground is level, like a carpet sweeper.

I have only used it to blow debris and dust out of filters, etc., but I believe it would work. I have liked mine.

The one pictured is the one I bought and threw in the trash with in one month. Absolute junk. And then the battery craps out for good in three weeks. You mush have used yours only on hard surfaces once a month. For the same money I a bought a Bissell Perfect Sweeper that weighs twice as much as Swiffer and is actually a quality product. there is no comparison.

In what I've used it for, it is less dusty. This is basically just cutting the grass/weeds/brush off their stems, it fall. As the mower blades cut into small pieces that get shot out the side, there is less blowing around. Compare it to a hand held trimmer.........same kind of thing.

Not sure, but it is a 2 speed blower, greenworks website may have more. I will tell you that this blower is for light work and dry debris. I use it for walkways and our parking lot, but i know it won't work well on grass for moving heavy leaves. Hope this helps.

No!! This unit is used to remove air and create a vacumm in whatever device it is hooked up to such as an AC unit. It is not to be confused with a sweeper/vacumm

No it is just a blower, would be great if it would also vacuum, then it would be worth the cost. Unless you are doing the sidewalk or padio you are just blowing dirt around.

The blower is an extra cost accessory. I purchased one later and found it easy to install.

My experience the vacum/shredder is that this is not the ideal tool for this. While the blower works quite well the vacum lacks even with the metal flywheel. It will only mulch the debris to a size that will pass through before spitting it into the bag.

I don't know. I purchased it as a replacement for my sister-in-law's sweeper.

In theory, the leaf blower works as a vacuum, but I have avoided using my leaf blower that way. It doesn't take much, according to other reviews, to break the unit. Why risk it?

There is an outlet for blowing as there is for vacuuming. As reported by others, if you need a lot of suction "or blowing" this isn't your vacuum cleaner but it works well for sawdust, bugs, car dirt, etc. I use it on my boat because it is so portable. CBEAT

I have not read the reviews, but I suspect they refer to the air propelled out the end opposite the vacuum. I purchased this vacuum, because of the blower feature. I just put the hose on the exhaust end, and blow the bugs off the porch. I also use it to blow dust off the blinds. If you are vacuuming, it will blow some dust around behind you. I think I might put a sock over the exhaust with a rubber band.

No. It is strictly a blower. It comes with attachments that I would never use. Why "blow" dust around. But I love the blower for smaller projects that I don't need a cord for.
