Description

Overview of the Shindaiwa EB252

The Shindaiwa EB252 in use

The Shindaiwa EB252

  • Power: The EB252 gas-powered blower, manufactured by Shindaiwa, is rated for a max air volume of 453 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a max air speed of 170 MPH.
  • Handling: With its handheld design, this leaf blower was created with portability in mind. Most users will have no problem using it almost anywhere. When compared to other gas-powered handheld blowers, the Shindaiwa EB252 stands out due to its lower weight: just 8.6 lbs.
  • Engine: This blower's engine has a displacement specification of 25.4 cc. Since this is a 2-stroke engine, it’s important to remember that the EB252 cannot run on gasoline alone. The fuel must be mixed with an appropriate ratio of gasoline and oil in order for it to function properly (for this Shindaiwa model, this ratio is 50:1).
  • Speed Settings: For those who wish to have complete control while operating their leaf blower, the EB252 offers variable speed settings, and moreover, is also equipped with cruise control, which allows the user to comfortably continue blowing at their preferred setting.
  • Noise: With a decibel rating of 70 dB, the EB252 is neither louder nor quieter than its rivals in the gas-powered handheld category.
  • Fuel Tank: With a capacity of 18.6 fl. oz., this Shindaiwa blower is average compared to other gas handheld blowers.
