- Handling: Like most backpack blowers, this model is technically heavier than a handheld.

- Speed Settings: For those who wish to have complete control while operating their leaf blower, the EB802RT offers variable speed settings, and moreover, is also equipped with cruise control, which allows the user to comfortably continue blowing at their preferred setting.
- Noise: With a decibel rating of 76 dB, the EB802RT 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 when compared to other gas backpack blowers.
