Overview of the Shindaiwa EB802
The Shindaiwa EB802
- Power: The Shindaiwa EB802 is a gas-powered leaf blower. It sports a max air speed of 210 MPH and a max air volume rating of 695 cubic feet per minute (CFM).
- 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 hip-mounted, which can make it easier on your right hand if you operate it over an extended period of time. However, for a gas-powered backpack blower, the Shindaiwa EB802 is heavier than most, weighing 25.1 lbs.
- Engine: This blower's engine has a displacement specification of 79.2 cc. Please be aware that 2-cycle engines like this one require a mixture of gas and oil in order to run. For the Shindaiwa EB802, this ratio is 50:1.
- Speed Settings: Thanks to its variable speed settings, the Shindaiwa EB802 allows precise control of the air output.
- Noise: With a decibel rating of 76 dB, the EB802 is neither louder nor quieter than its rivals in the gas-powered backpack category.
- Fuel Tank: With a capacity of 68.3 fl. oz., this Shindaiwa blower is average compared to other gas backpack blowers.
