Description
Overview of the Shindaiwa EB854RT
The Shindaiwa EB854RT
- Power: The Shindaiwa EB854RT is a gas-powered blower with a maximum air volume rating of 735 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed of 213 MPH.
- Handling: This blower’s backpack functionality makes make it less exerting on the user, even when used for an extended period of time. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. However, for a gas-powered backpack blower, the Shindaiwa EB854RT is heavier than most, weighing 27.6 lbs.
- Engine: This blower is fitted with a 79.7 cc Hybrid 4 engine. Redmax's Hybdrid 4® engine is a 4-stroke engine that runs with a mixture of oil and gas (50:1 ratio). You can find more details about this technology further down the page.
- Speed Settings: For those who wish to have complete control while operating their leaf blower, the EB854RT 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: Its noise rating of 77 dB can be considered the standard for similar gas-powered backpack blowers.
- Fuel Tank: Its tank can hold 68.7 fl. oz., so it falls squarely in the average in terms of fuel capacity.

The Shindaiwa EB854RT's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Shindaiwa EB854RT compare with similar leaf blowers.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 213 MPH, which is pretty much what is to be expected for gas-powered backpack blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Husqvarna 150BT and its 251 MPH could be an option to consider.
- Regarding its air volume, the airflow of the Shindaiwa EB854RT can reach 735 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), which is on par with other gas-powered backpack blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Echo PB-9010T, with 1110 CFM, could be in your good books.
Price comparison
As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other gas backpack blowers, the Shindaiwa EB854RT is on the expensive side of the price range.
While certainly not the cheapest of its kind, purchasing it could most likely also mean enjoying the reliability of a high-end product.
Hybrid 4 Engine Technology
Redmax's Hybrid 4® engine combines the advantages of 2-cycle and 4-cycle engines. This 4-stroke engine runs on a mix of gasoline and oil (1:50). For this to happen, the gasoline-oil mix enters the cylinder head through a bypass channel in order to offer full lubrication, which avoids the need for parts like an oil pump, sump or tank (which are compulsory for traditional 4-stroke engines). Therefore, there is no oil servicing to do (easy maintenance), the leaf blower emits less fumes, is more fuel efficient, and its overall noise is lower. Additionally, all Hybrid 4® engines are fitted with a system that considerably reduces the effort needed to pull the starter rope.
The bottom line

- Decent tank (68.7 fl. oz.)
- Acceptable noise (77 dB)
- Decent CFM (735 CFM)
