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
With its gas backpack design, the Shindaiwa EB610RT is appropriate for homeowners with larger home grounds ranging from half-acre lawns to multi-acre estates as well as professionals providing regular landscaping work.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 700 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 200 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.
This gas blower is powered by a 59.7-cc 2-stroke engine that requires a 50:1 fuel-to-oil mix. The fuel tank holds 43.2 fl. oz., helping to keep the EB610RT's weight as low as possible.
The Shindaiwa EB610RT provides versatile control with customizable airflow via variable speed settings and the convenience of cruise control for prolonged comfort.
Weighing 20.9 lbs (dry), this backpack unit rests on the user’s back so the arm holding the tube can focus on directing airflow rather than supporting the full weight. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows to keep the left hand free.
