It’s meant to be carried as a backpack so that the bulk of the unit is out of the way and the user’s hands are free to manipulate the nozzle. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. Notably, the EGO LBPX8004-2 weighs 29.1 lbs, positioning it towards the heavier end of cordless backpack blowers.
- Speed Settings: The EGO LBPX8004-2 offers customizable airflow through its variable speed settings, along with integrated cruise control for convenient operation.
- Noise: For cordless backpack blowers, the LBPX8004-2's 65 dB noise rating can be considered fairly typical.
