The Black+Decker LSWV36 cordless sweeper vac has been a garage and porch workhorse for over a decade, which means the aftermarket around it has matured into something genuinely useful. Replacement tubes wear out, collection bags tear, and the original 40V battery eventually loses its edge. This roundup walks through the accessories and parts that keep the LSWV36 running smoothly, from swap-in vacuum tubes and collection bags to protective covers and upgraded batteries. The picks lean toward owners who already know the LSWV36 well and want parts that actually fit.

Taking A Closer Look At The Options
When a sweeper vac starts losing pickup and the filter looks clean, the culprit is almost always a cracked or warped tube. This replacement tube targets the Black+Decker LSWV36 and LSWV36B using the original part number 90569742 as a reference, so the swap is more about restoring lost performance than upgrading the machine itself. In most cases the install takes only a screwdriver and a few minutes, which makes it appealing for owners who would rather fix the unit than replace it.
Unlike the bag and cover picks further down the list, this part addresses the actual airflow path. If your LSWV36 has started whistling, rattling, or simply feeling weaker than it used to, the tube is worth checking before you blame the motor or the battery.
What Earns Its Place
- Matches the OEM part number 90569742, so fit and length follow the original design
- Single-piece construction keeps the install simple for first-time repair attempts
- Restores suction on units where the factory tube has warped from heat or age
- Costs a fraction of replacing the whole sweeper vac
Things To Consider
- Confirm the LSWV36B variant on the label before ordering, since model years occasionally shift dimensions
- Only useful if the original tube is the failure point, not the motor or switch
Key Specs
Who It Suits Best
Owners with a worn or cracked LSWV36 who want a low-effort fix that brings back original airflow.
Where Another Pick Suits Better
Shoppers chasing longer runtime between charges should pair this tube with the energup 40V LBX2040 battery rather than chasing a different tube brand.
Bagged cleanup gets old fast when the only way to empty debris is wrestling the entire sack off the unit. This replacement collection bag for the LSWV36 builds in a bottom zipper and an adjustable shoulder strap, which together make the emptying step far less annoying. Around the yard, that translates to fewer trips to the compost pile and less dust kicked up when you finally do get there.
Compared with the FUSNCNZ drawstring bag in the next slot, the value here is in the lower zipper. If you find yourself stopping every few minutes to dump a small load, the bottom access makes a real difference in how long a cleanup session takes.
Strong Points
- Bottom zipper empties the bag without removing it from the unit
- Adjustable shoulder strap shifts the weight off your gripping hand
- Targets LSWV36 models from 2012 onward, covering most units still in service
- Reasonable option for light yard debris like dry leaves and small clippings
Honest Caveats
- Confirm the connector shape against your existing bag before ordering, since aftermarket fit can vary slightly
- Soft fabric walls can sag under heavy wet loads, so it works best for routine dry-leaf cleanup
Made For
Homeowners who run weekly leaf pickups and want a bag that empties in seconds rather than minutes.
Skip It When
Heaviers users pushing the LSWV36 in mulcher mode for hours on end may prefer the BLACK+DECKER 40V MAX Blower/Vacuum bundle with two batteries.
Where the previous VTKMSZP bag leans on a bottom zipper, this FUSNCNZ alternative focuses on the top end of the bag. The drawstring with a locking toggle tightens around the LSWV36’s outlet, and the wide zipper along the body creates a wide opening for dumping. The combination feels aimed at owners who already know exactly what their outlet diameter is and want a snug, leak-resistant fit during longer runs.
For most driveways and patio cleanups, the drawstring design pays off in fewer dust puffs at the connection point. It’s a small detail, but it shows up every time you switch directions mid-pass.
Good Reasons To Consider
- Drawstring with toggle lets you fine-tune the seal against the LSWV36 outlet
- Wide body zipper supports quick emptying into a trash can or yard waste bin
- Soft-sided construction folds flat for off-season storage in a shed or garage
Points To Note
- Measure your outlet diameter before ordering, since the drawstring only works if the opening is close to spec
- Fabric is best for dry leaves; wet or muddy loads will weigh the bottom seams down faster
Quick Facts
Best Suited To
Yard owners running longer leaf pickups on dry days who want a tight inlet seal and a wide dump opening.
Consider Something Else When
Anyone needing a one-bag-fits-most setup should look at the VTKMSZP bag with the bottom zipper, which tends to be more forgiving on fit.
Most LSWV36 owners store the unit in a garage or shed, and a thin layer of dust builds up faster than expected. This KOLSMCZ cover bundle ships two Oxford covers with an elasticized hem and small reflective strips, which is a touch more thoughtful than the single-cover options in this list. The two-pack also makes sense for households running two LSWV36 units, or for keeping a spare in a vehicle.
Compared with the LRDCIMO single cover, this one trades a simpler build for the second unit and the reflective trim. If you regularly grab the blower in low light, those reflective touches are not just decorative.
Positive Points
- Two covers per pack gives a spare for a second blower or a different storage spot
- Elastic hem grips the tube connection, so the cover does not hang loose below the housing
- Reflective strips add visibility in dim garage corners or under shelves
- Oxford fabric handles folding and refolding without visible wear at the seams
Some Limits To Know
- Designed for the LSWV36 housing only, so the long tube remains exposed during storage
- Not a rainproof tarp, so it works best in covered storage rather than open outdoor exposure
Feature Snapshot
Right Fit For
Owners with a covered garage or shed who want a clean dust layer between yard sessions without overspending on a single premium cover.
Look Elsewhere When
Anyone needing true weatherproofing for open-air storage should consider relocating the blower rather than relying on any soft cover alone.
Not every garage needs a two-pack. This LRDCIMO cover is a straightforward single-unit sleeve for the LSWV36, sized for the 2015 through 2020 model years. The Oxford shell slips on in seconds, which makes it appealing for owners who hate wrestling thicker tarps over handheld tools.
The trade-off versus the KOLSMCZ two-pack is obvious: no spare, no reflective trim, and a narrower compatibility window. For a single LSWV36 stored indoors, that is perfectly fine and arguably less wasteful.
Why It Works Well
- Single-piece design slips over the housing in seconds between yard sessions
- Oxford fabric keeps light dust off the motor vents and trigger area
- Right-sized for the LSWV36 chassis from 2015 through 2020
Worth Noting
- Only fits the 2015 to 2020 model range, so earlier or later units may sit loosely under the cover
- Light-duty by design, and not meant for permanent outdoor exposure
Who Should Grab It
Single-blower households that keep the LSWV36 on a shelf and want a low-fuss dust layer rather than a heavy-duty storage solution.
A Better Fit Elsewhere
Anyone with a 2012 to 2014 or 2021 to 2026 LSWV36 should step up to the KOLSMCZ two-pack, which lists the full compatibility range.
Once the original 40V pack starts losing capacity, the LSWV36 turns into a short-task tool rather than a full-yard tool. This energup replacement battery is rated at 3500mAh and slots into the LBX2040 platform, so it also powers other 36V and 40V Black+Decker garden tools. For owners already running multiple tools on the same platform, that cross-compatibility is the real story.
Versus the bundled spare that ships with the BLACK+DECKER 40V MAX Blower/Vacuum kit, this is a single higher-capacity cell. The 3500mAh rating suggests longer runtime than a 2.0-Ah pack, though actual gains depend on the load the blower is under.
Strengths Worth Knowing
- 3500mAh rating suggests a meaningful step up from a 2.0-Ah original pack
- Works across the Black+Decker 36V and 40V cordless garden lineup
- Lithium-ion construction means no memory effect and steady output through most of the discharge
- Sensible pick for households already invested in the LBX2040 ecosystem
Trade-Offs
- Aftermarket brand rather than OEM, so warranty support comes from the seller, not Black+Decker
- Higher capacity means a longer charge cycle on a standard Black+Decker 40V charger
At A Glance
Whose Shelf It Belongs On
Owners with a fading original pack who want more runtime per charge and already use other 40V Black+Decker garden tools.
Swap It Out When
Shoppers who want two batteries in the box from the start should consider the BLACK+DECKER 40V MAX Blower/Vacuum bundle with the extra 2.0-Ah pack.
The original LSWV36 platform has aged well enough that some owners end up buying a second unit before they replace the first. This bundle is essentially that play in a single box: a 40V MAX blower/vacuum with an extra 2.0-Ah battery in the package, built on the LBX2040 battery system. The 6.9-pound vacuum weight is light enough to carry up a ladder or out to a long driveway without wearing out your arm.
Compared with the original LSWV36 combo kit further down, this bundle adds the spare battery at the cost of some configurability. For shop-for keeps, the spare cell is the more useful upgrade for most owners.
Real Benefits
- Two 2.0-Ah batteries in the box let you rotate while one cools down and recharges
- Lithium-ion cells hold a charge through storage better than the older NiCad packs
- Zero-emission operation is comfortable on a porch, deck, or inside a garage
- LBX2040 battery platform supports other Black+Decker 40V garden tools
A Few Limitations
- Manufacturer guidance notes the unit is not designed for heavy fallen leaf cleanup
- 2.0-Ah cells are smaller than the energup 3500mAh pack, so runtime per charge is shorter
Spec Overview
Perfect Match For
Existing LSWV36 owners whose original battery has finally given up and who want a like-for-like replacement with a spare cell ready to go.
Another Choice May Suit
First-time buyers who also want the full mulcher and bag setup should look at the BLACK+DECKER combo kit, which ships with a charger and collection bag included.
The LSWV36 is a three-mode tool at heart, and this combo kit is the cleanest way to get the full setup in one box: 40V cordless blower, vacuum, and mulcher in a single housing, plus a battery, charger, and collection bag. The 6-speed dial gives finer control than the older two-speed switches, and the built-in scraper at the nozzle is genuinely useful for stuck-on debris on hard surfaces. A 120 mph air speed is plenty for clearing a driveway or a deck after a windy afternoon.
Versus the rest of the list, this is the only entry that ships as a complete working system. Every other pick here is an accessory, replacement part, or a battery, so the kit is the natural starting point for someone new to the LSWV36 platform.
What Helps Most
- Blower, vacuum, and mulcher modes in one housing, with a 6-speed dial for finer output control
- Built-in nozzle scraper lifts stuck debris from hard surfaces without a separate tool
- Collection bag included in the box, so the unit is usable from day one
- 40V platform with battery and charger included removes the guesswork on first setup
Worth Bearing In Mind
- Combo kit is heavier and more expensive than a single battery or cover pick in this list
- Optimal fit depends on buying accessories specifically listed for the LSWV36 housing
Built With In Mind
New LSWV36 owners who want a ready-to-go blower, vacuum, and mulcher setup with the battery, charger, and bag already in the box.
Not Your Match When
Existing LSWV36 owners only need replacement parts, in which case the Universal Vacuum Tube 90569742 or the KOLSMCZ cover two-pack is the more focused buy.
Matching The Right Parts To Your LSWV36
Buying for a tool platform that has been in production for over a decade is a different exercise than buying the tool itself. The first decision is whether you need a wear part, a consumable bag, a cover, or a battery. Each category has its own check before you commit, and treating them as one big accessory pile usually ends in a drawer full of almost-right parts.
Vacuum tubes are the easiest: confirm the model number and the OEM part number before ordering. Both the LSWV36 and LSWV36B are covered in most listings, but the LSWV36B variant occasionally uses a slightly different inlet, so a quick check saves a return. The Universal Vacuum Tube 90569742 listed above is a sensible first swap for any unit that has lost suction despite a clean filter.
Collection bags and covers are where fit gets fuzzy. Measure the outlet diameter on the blower and the housing footprint of the LSWV36 before you commit. The VTKMSZP bottom-zip bag suits quick-emptying sessions, while the FUSNCNZ drawstring bag suits longer dry-leaf runs where inlet sealing matters more. For covers, the KOLSMCZ two-pack covers the full 2012 to 2026 production range, while the LRDCIMO single cover is sized for the 2015 through 2020 window only.
Batteries are the highest-stakes buy. A 2.0-Ah pack is fine for short cleanup runs, but anything that involves mulching or back-to-back sessions benefits from the energup 3500mAh pack or the BLACK+DECKER 40V MAX Blower/Vacuum bundle that ships with a spare cell. Owners already invested in other 36V or 40V Black+Decker garden tools get extra mileage from cross-compatibility on the LBX2040 platform.
Mistakes Worth Dodging And When Spending More Pays Off
Pitfalls Shoppers Hit
The most common slip-up is buying on model name alone. The LSWV36B suffix, the production year range, and the original part number all matter, and skipping any of them leads to a part that almost fits. A second pitfall is assuming any 40V battery will drop in. The LBX2040 platform is the one to look for, and the cell should match the tool’s voltage and physical layout. Finally, treating soft covers as weatherproof leads to disappointed owners; these accessories are dust shields, not tarps.
When Paying More Pays Off
The upgrade premium usually buys capacity, not brand prestige. A higher mAh pack like the energup 3500mAh option is a real-world runtime upgrade, while a larger combo kit with two batteries removes the downtime of a single pack. Owners who treat the LSWV36 as their main yard tool feel the difference quickly. Casual users who only sweep the front steps will rarely notice the extra cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the OEM part number for the LSWV36 vacuum tube?
The OEM part number for the LSWV36 vacuum tube is 90569742, and the Universal Vacuum Tube 90569742 replacement above is built to that spec. Always cross-check the part number printed on your existing tube before ordering.
Are aftermarket collection bags safe for the LSWV36?
Aftermarket bags like the VTKMSZP and FUSNCNZ options are designed as soft-sided replacements for the original LSWV36 collection sack. Confirm the connector shape and outlet diameter before installing to avoid loose fits during use.
How long does a 40V LSWV36 battery typically last?
A 40V lithium-ion pack in the LBX2040 platform typically delivers a few years of regular seasonal use before capacity drops noticeably. Higher-capacity aftermarket packs like the 3500mAh energup cell can extend runtime per charge but do not change the calendar life of the cell.
Can the LSWV36 handle wet leaves and heavy yard debris?
The LSWV36 blower and vacuum modes are tuned for hard surfaces and dry leaves, and manufacturer guidance notes the unit is not recommended for heavy fallen leaf cleanup. Wet or muddy loads also stress soft-sided collection bags, so dry conditions work best.
Is the BLACK+DECKER LSWV36 still worth buying in 2026?
The LSWV36 platform remains a sensible pick for porches, decks, and driveways because the aftermarket around it is mature. Replacement tubes, bags, covers, and batteries are widely available, which keeps an older unit running without much fuss.
Wrap Up
If your LSWV36 is still on the original tube and battery, the smartest starting point is the BLACK+DECKER combo kit or the 40V MAX bundle, depending on whether you want mulcher mode in the box or a spare cell. From there, the Universal Vacuum Tube, the VTKMSZP bag, and the KOLSMCZ cover two-pack cover the most common wear and tear without overthinking it. Treat the LSWV36 like a long-running platform, and the parts list becomes a maintenance plan rather than a shopping spree.
