Looking for a quality backpack leaf blower? Well this is it! Redmax offers a wide range of great leaf blowers to accomplish any leaf clean up task at hand. Retail pricing on these machines is $469.99-$589.99 Lets take a look at some of the options.
Redmax Ebz6500 (Including RH model.)
This is the smallest of the "commercial" selections. I will be honest with you though, 99% of the commercial guys out there that we sell to do not buy these back packs. The EBZ6500 is most popular with the DIY homeowners. It is extremely lightweight as far as back pack blowers are concerned weighing in at only 22.71 pounds (lbs) and packs a powerful punch. It features a 65.6 cubic centimeters (cc) , strato charged, 2 stroke engine that makes 3.81 horsepower (hp). It has plenty of power to move wet leaves and sand with a tube air flow rate of 632.13 cubic feet per minute (cfm) at an air speed of 232.42 miles per hour (mph). The strato charged engine reduces fuel consumption by up to 20% while making more torque over a wider revolutions per minute (rpm) range.

Next up, lets take a look at the Redmax Ebz7500 (Including RH model)
The Redmax Ebz7500 has about a 50/50 mix as far as who likes them. There are a bunch of DIY homeowners that buy and use these as well as commercial landscapers. Redmax also uses the 65.6cc, strato charged, 2 stroke engine on this machine, however they bumped up the horsepower to 3.94hp. That is not a huge difference from the Ebz6500 but you can definitely noticed the change. The pipe air flow is bumped up to 769.86cfm at an air speed of 236.22mph. In most cases, there is really nothing the normal homeowner can throw at this leaf blower that it will not handle.

Last but not least, the Redmax Ebz8500 (Including RH model)
The Redmax Ebz8500 is the king of back pack leaf blowers that Redmax offers. This is a commercial landscaper top seller out of the three. Redmax used a 75.6cc, strato charged, 2 stroke engine on this machine putting out a whopping 4.43hp! Now check out these numbers, pipe air flow is 907.59cfm with an air speed of 206.25mph! Yes the mph is slower than the Ebz7500 but only by 30mph. Think about this though, you may be loosing 30mph on the wind speed but you are gaining almost 200 cfm of air flow! Needless to say, this machine handles all kinds of abuse these landscapers like to put them through.
