Overview of the Shindaiwa EB600RT

The Shindaiwa EB600RT in use

The Shindaiwa EB600RT

  • Power: The EB600RT, built by Shindaiwa, is a gas-powered leaf blower capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 517 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 216 MPH.
  • Handling: By design, this model isn’t the smallest leaf blower on the market. It’s meant to be carried as a backpack so that the bulk of the unit is out of the way and the user’s hands are free to manipulate the nozzle. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. All told, it weighs 22.7 lbs — the Shindaiwa EB600RT is neither the lightest nor the heaviest gas-powered backpack blower on the market.
  • Engine: This blower's engine has a displacement specification of 58.2cc. Please note that, because the Shindaiwa EB600RT's engine is a 2-cycle one, it runs on a mixture of oil and gasoline. According to Shindaiwa, the proper fuel mixture ratio for this blower is 50:1.
  • Speed Settings: Sometimes you just need a little more power, while other times you may want a little more precision when moving leaves and debris. That’s why the EB600RT features variable speed settings for added control.
  • Noise: As far as gas-powered backpack blowers go, this one is average in terms of noise with a rating of 70 dB.
  • Fuel Tank: It has an average fuel capacity for a backpack blower, with a tank that holds around 62 fl. oz of fuel.
