- Handling: Like most backpack blowers, this model is technically heavier than a handheld. That being said, it can feel lighter and more comfortable because of the way it is carried, even when used over extended periods of time. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. At 22.7 lbs, the Shindaiwa EB600RT falls within the typical weight range for gas-powered backpack blowers, offering a balanced weight profile compared to others in its class.
- Engine: The blower is fitted with a 58.2cc engine. Since this is a 2-stroke engine, it’s important to remember that the EB600RT 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 are keen on having complete control while operating their leaf blower, the EB600RT offers variable speed settings.
- Noise: For gas-powered backpack blowers, the EB600RT's 70 dB noise rating can be considered fairly typical.
