RedMax 8500 Review

The RedMax 8500 is one of the most powerful and high performing backpack leaf blowers on the market.  As always, RedMax has set the gold standard for leaf blowers in terms of the features they offer, their durability, and how well they function. This leaf blower is impressively powerful—easily among the most powerful blowers you can find on the market, if not the most powerful. This is somewhat surprising as they actual speed of the air that exits this leaf blower isn’t particularly fast.

Some of the features that you can access with this blower include active cooling, hip controls with a throttle lock, and extremely comfortable adjustable padded straps.The active cooling function makes this blower more comfortable as the blower’s fan draws air through intake vents, cooling it before it reaches the part of the machine that you wear on your back, to keep you cool on long jobs. The hip controls and throttle lock allow you to put the blower on cruise control so you don’t have to keep your finger on the button the entire time. And the adjustable padded straps on this leaf blower are very comfortable compared to most others.

Another notable function of this leaf blower is its wide coverage. With this blower, you can clear more debris in a single swoop than almost any other machine on the market. Due to the high power of this blower, the weight of the RedMax is fairly middle of the road, weighing in at about 25 pounds.

RedMax 8500 Reviews

This blower is simply extraordinary. Most powerful and well-handling blower I’ve used so far. With this blower I can tackle even huge clumps of wet leaves and dirt on rainy days. Very impressive. It also fits well and is nice and comfortable. Fuel lasts for a decent amount of time, and I never get overheated with this thing on hot days. Super impressed overall. 1000% satisfied with this purchase. Definitely worth the money—I’d recommend this blower to anyone! Particularly if you’re working with a blower every day, trust me, you’re going to be happy you invested in this.
