Shindaiwa EB252
MPN: EB2521 review
Excellent advice from Mac – Like most people, I have had many brands of leaf blowers. Some good - some awful. But thanks to Mac from Melbourne who has been in the garden maintenance business for 25 years, I was impressed by his comments. I went straight out and bought a Shindaiwa EB252 – Leaf Blower - Wind 76 m/s - Air 768 cm/h.
Wow, he was right!
I have had this blower for only a few days and already have cleared the 1 kl road on our property that is also acts as our fire-break, which was smothered in leaves. Boy oh boy, I have never been able to do this before.
Like Mac said, this is a professional quality blower, yet light weight, well made and easy to start. Its already my “go to” blower out of the collection of other blowers we have. Money well spent.
Thanks Mac.
Follow-up · For a leaf blower with lots of grunt, it's very fuel efficient. I use it every week to clear my 1 klm fire break (our road) and this normally takes about 3 tanks of fuel during the 2 hours of continuous work. The noise level is pretty good and I don't wear earmuffs, but I always wear a full-face mask to protect my eyes. Like all blowers, they are slightly heavy, but I am 83 years old and can use it non-stop for about 2 hours. Just to be on the safe side, I bought a second Shindaiwa EB252 – Leaf Blower. If one breaks down in the middle of the fire season, I have another one ready to go. Its so good I also use it up on the roof to blow all the leaves out of the roof gutters.
