Description

Zoom on the RedMax EBZ9000RH
The RedMax EBZ9000RH is a gas backpack blower that is best suited to professionals who manage multiple properties or client sites.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 1245 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 216 miles per hour (MPH). To put it simply, it combines strong airflow to move piles of leaves in the yard with enough force to clear heavier material such as pine needles or acorns from patios and walkways.
A 79.4-cc 2-stroke Strato-Charged® engine powers the EBZ9000RH, which needs a 50:1 fuel-to-oil mixture. Its 91.3 fl. oz. tank capacity is on the higher end for 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 23.1 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.
- Regarding its air volume, the RedMax EBZ9000RH boasts an impressive airflow that can reach 1245 CFM (Cubic Foot per Minute). This makes it one of the most powerful 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
- 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.
