Description
With reduced starting effort and impressive power, the Shindaiwa EB610RT Backpack Blower is perfect for both homeowners and light-commercial use. Its reliable performance and user-friendly design make it efficient enough to handle a variety of tasks.
Zoom on the Shindaiwa EB610RT
The Shindaiwa EB610RT is a gas backpack blower that is mostly aimed at homeowners with homes with expansive outdoor areas (the kind that is more measured in acres than square feet), and professional landscapers who maintain several properties.
It features a maximum air speed of 200 MPH and a maximum air volume rating of 700 cubic feet per minute (CFM). 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.
Equipped with a 59.7-cc 2-stroke engine, this blower operates on gasoline mixed at a 50:1 ratio. Its 43.2 fl. oz. fuel tank contributes to keeping its weight as low as possible.
The Shindaiwa EB610RT features customizable airflow through its variable speed settings and effortless speed maintenance with built-in cruise control.
This gas backpack blower has a dry weight of 20.9 lbs and shifts most of the weight to the back, reducing strain on the arms during operation. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows to keep the left hand free.
