Description
Shindaiwa's 790RT Backpack Blower is a high-powered commercial tool designed for ultimate productivity and efficient clean-ups. A tube-mounted throttle allows for easy and precise control, ensuring optimal performance during demanding tasks.
Zoom on the Shindaiwa EB790RT
With its gas backpack design, the Shindaiwa EB790RT is ideal for homeowners with big residential yards that extend beyond half an acre and require ongoing upkeep, and for professionals who manage multiple properties or client sites.
It features a maximum air speed of 240 MPH and a maximum air volume rating of 835 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.
With its 79.9-cc 2-stroke engine, the EB790RT requires a 50:1 fuel-to-oil mix for operation. Its tank has a capacity of 67 fl. oz., which is typical for backpack gas blowers.
The Shindaiwa EB790RT offers customizable airflow through its variable speed settings, along with integrated cruise control for convenient operation.
This gas backpack blower has a dry weight of 26 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.
The Shindaiwa EB790RT's performance versus other blowers

- Air exiting this blower's nozzle can reach speeds of 240 MPH, marking it as considerably swifter than most gas-powered backpack blowers over 75cc. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the PRORUN PBB3000 and its 250 MPH could be an option to consider.
