The RedMax EBZ8560RH
With its gas backpack design, the RedMax EBZ8560RH is mostly aimed at homeowners with larger home grounds ranging from half-acre lawns to multi-acre estates, and professional landscapers who manage multiple properties or client sites.
It is rated for a maximum air volume of 1000 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a maximum air speed of 220 miles per hour (MPH). In practice, it should move both scattered leaves and larger piles across yard areas, while also clearing heavier debris such as acorns, pine cones, or pine needles on patios or driveways.
This gas blower is powered by a 75.6-cc 2-stroke engine that requires a 50:1 fuel-to-oil mix. Its fuel tank holds 77.8 fl. oz., within the usual range for gas backpack blowers.
The RedMax EBZ8560RH offers customizable airflow through its variable speed settings, along with integrated cruise control for convenient operation.
At 25.4 lbs (dry), the blower’s backpack configuration allows longer use by moving the bulk of the weight off the arms. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows to keep the left hand free.

The RedMax EBZ8560RH's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the RedMax EBZ8560RH compare with similar leaf blowers.
- Among other gas-powered backpack blowers over 75cc, the RedMax EBZ8560RH can be considered light, weighing only 25.4 lbs. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Stihl BR 800 X MAGNUM® is worth a look at just 23.1 lbs.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 220 MPH, which is on the lower end for gas-powered backpack blowers over 75cc. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the PRORUN PBB3000, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 250 MPH.
- The EBZ8560RH is average in terms of air volume. It's rated at 1000 CFM, which is common for gas-powered backpack blowers with a comparable engine size. If air volume is important to you, the Husqvarna 590BTS, with 1245 CFM, could be in your good books.

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.
