Description
A lightweight backpack blower designed for commercial use. At 632 CFM and 232 MPH this machine has the air volume to move heavy debris and the speed to lift wet leaves and compacted sand. For added comfort and convenience, the EBZ6500RH is designed with a tube mounted throttle. The Strato-Charged engine reduces fuel consumption by up to 20% while providing more torque over a wider RPM range.
Zoom on the RedMax EBZ6500RH
With its gas backpack design, the RedMax EBZ6500RH is suited for homeowners with big residential yards that extend beyond half an acre and require ongoing upkeep, and landscaping professionals handling medium-to-large yards for clients.
It is rated for a max air volume of 631 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a max air speed of 232 MPH. For the user, this translates into a blower that should move leaves effectively across lawn sections and hard surfaces, while also being capable of shifting compacted leaves or light yard debris like twigs.
With its 65.6-cc 2-stroke Strato-Charged® engine, the EBZ6500RH requires a 50:1 fuel-to-oil mix for operation. Its tank holds 71 fluid ounces, placing it in the average range among backpack blowers.
The RedMax EBZ6500RH provides versatile control with customizable airflow via variable speed settings and the convenience of cruise control for prolonged comfort.
This gas backpack blower has a dry weight of 22.5 lbs and shifts most of the weight to the back, reducing strain on the arms during operation. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows to keep the left hand free.

Strato-Charged Engine Technology
RedMax's Strato-Charged 2-stroke engines are efficiently designed with just 3 moving parts. This allows them to be up to 20% more fuel-efficient than standard 2-stroke engines, to be 20 to 25% lighter than 4-stroke engines of the same size, and to produce low emissions that meet regulations without the need for a heated, heavy catalytic converter. Offering much less operator fatigue, these engines have a high power to weight ratio and can therefore be classified as high-performance.

About RedMax
RedMax is an established power equipment brand in North America, known for its trimmers, chainsaws and, of course, leaf blowers. Interestingly, the company traces its roots back to Japan, where it was founded in 1910 as the Tokyo Gas Kogyo Company. TGCK went through numerous name changes and settled with the names Komatsu Zenoah (globally) and RedMax/Zenoah (North America), under which they sell their products to this day. The company was acquired by Husqvarna in 2007. RedMax has a somewhat extensive portfolio of more than 10 leaf blowers, both backpack and handheld, and has recently launched a battery powered product line. RedMax products are produced in various plants over the globe, which are not limited to Japan.
