Question 1

What is the difference between BV5600 and BV6600 Blowers?

Accepted Answer

Not much difference in the two models.  The BV6600 cost a little more has and air speed range of 140-250 mph and the BV5600 air speed range is 180-250 mph.  I chose the BV6600 so that I would have the option of using it at the lower, quieter airspeed in areas where less power is needed.

Question 2

What is the difference between the B&D BV5600,BV6000, and BV6600?

Accepted Answer

According to the Black and Decker web site the difference is the attachments it comes with. see the following I quote...The differences between all three of those models are the attachments that are included with them and the switch. The performance of all three are the same 180/250 mph. BV5600 includes the vacuum tubes, blower tubes, concentrator, reusuable collection bag, leaf blaster attachment, and two speed switch.BV6000 includes the vacuum tubes, blower tubes, concentrator, diffuser, disposable bag, detachable strap, and two speed switch.BV6600 includes all the same attachments as the BV6000 plus a rake attachment and the switch is variable speed.

Question 3

Can this be used to vacuum fireplace ash? Would there be a bag attachment more suitable to collect ash, or would the standard/disposable bag work?

Accepted Answer

Do NOT ever vacuum ash of act kind. Ash and dust dry can mix to ignite in the container. !!!DANGER!!!

Question 4

While i read in the question area about a rake attachment w/black+decker bv6600, i don't see amazon saying it in the product description; included?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the rake is in there.  I wouldn’t say that it was a deciding factor for me for the purchase though.  I personally see it as a hindrance because the leaves would ball up on the rake.  But the unit is a great blower, vac, mulcher.
