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.

    Redmax 8560 is a game changer! I was running a Stihl Br600 for 11 years and started having issues, gasket seal, oil rings, throttle cable but a noticable loss in power. Replaced the gasket seal, but still having issues with lagging power. Pulled the plug on a Ebz8560 when my dealer had a promo for it selling it for $589 dropped from $649! WOW what a massive massive beast!! You will not see its full power until about the 2nd refuel…at that point your carb is all dialed in, and that blower can torque you off kilter if your footing isnt secure! It is a little thirsty, but that is the only down side. Weight is evenly distributed so it makes having a 77oz fuel tank filled not so bad. It is a little harder to start than the br600 tho.. redmax takes a good 5-7 pulls before it starts. The stihl always started on the 1st or 2nd pull. (Per redmax instruction it says prime no more than 3 pumps, stihl would get 5 pumps) not sure if that is making the difference. Just a true 2 cycle commercial machine. If your in the market for a no nonsense powerhouse without a 4mix or bells and whistles, this is your machine. Power for days and quite comfortable!
