Description
The RedMax EBZ9000-RH with tube-mounted throttle packs 56 N of blow force into a lightweight design that won’t weigh you down. Work comfortably no matter how long the job takes, thanks to anti-vibration LowVib® technology and the supportive hip belt.
Zoom on the RedMax EBZ9000RH
With its gas backpack design, the RedMax EBZ9000RH is best suited to professionals working across several client grounds.
It provides a maximum air volume rating of 1245 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed of up to 216 miles per hour (MPH). These values mean that it should manage everyday yard leaves rather efficiently, but also have the power to handle denser material or small piles of heavier debris across lawns, patios, and garden paths.
With its 79.4-cc 2-stroke Strato-Charged® engine, the EBZ9000RH requires a 50:1 fuel-to-oil mix for operation. With a fuel tank of 91.3 fl. oz., it offers above-average capacity compared to other gas backpack blowers.
The RedMax EBZ9000RH features customizable airflow through its variable speed settings and effortless speed maintenance with built-in cruise control.
With a dry weight of 26 lbs, the backpack format helps reduce arm fatigue while maintaining steady airflow control. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows to keep the left hand free.

The RedMax EBZ9000RH's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the RedMax EBZ9000RH compare with similar leaf blowers.
- The RedMax EBZ9000RH fits squarely within the average weight range for gas-powered backpack blowers over 75cc, at 26 lbs. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Stihl BR 800 X MAGNUM® is worth a look at just 23 lbs.
- Exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 216 MPH, which falls 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 EBZ9000RH is powerful, with an airflow rating of 1245 CFM (cubic feet per minute). This is the highest CFM among gas-powered backpack blowers with a comparable engine size.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other gas backpack blowers, the RedMax EBZ9000RH is on the expensive side of the price range.
While certainly not the cheapest of its kind, purchasing it could most likely also mean enjoying the reliability of a high-end product.
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.
The bottom line
- Large tank (91.3 fl. oz.)
- Cruise control
- Strato-Charged® Engine
- High CFM (1245 CFM)
- Decent weight (26 lbs)
- On the expensive side
- Low MPH (216 MPH)

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.
