So my dealer has the BRAND NEW Redmax EBZ9000 in stock that msrps for $799. He will probably sell it to preexisting customers for somewhere around $730-760. This is the STRONGEST Backpack Blower on the Market avalable to professionals. It has a 79.4cc Electronic controlled carb, a (simmilar to an) OBDII port for diagnostics, and it weights 26.5lbs. Down to the specs...Fuel tank holds 91oz of fuel. 1,245CFM at nozzel 216mph and 54N!! It has thicker padded straps as well as a cross body strap for extra snug fit and to help balance out the tourqe twist if going from idle to WOT. I have a Stihl Br600 that was used HEAVILY for 12 years, but found last year it was having trouble with the thatch produced from dethatching. Needed something bigger so I got a redmax Ebz8560 msrps for $639 I got it for $589. It is a BEAST with its 220mph 1,000cfm and 47N. Very comparable to the 9010 by echo, but with a much more flexable tube as well as rain proof. (My oppinion is echo is a cheap blower, the only brand you can buy redily on amazon) cant buy a stihl, or redmax on amazon. Can buy a small Husqvarna 150bts or 350bts but thats about it. The echos have a very bulky tube that is hard to manuver. Echos specs are 1,100cfm 220mph and 48N with 26.5lbs of weight and 81 or 88oz fuel tank. Many complaints of water getting thru the airfilters and reaking havoc on open trailers. What is everyones thoughts an oppinions on the new King of the backpack blowers the Redmax Ebz9000.
*I am NOT a salesman for redmax this is my personal opinion coupled with hours of research.
