Weight to Power Ratio: B+

Currently the Redmax 8000 is the most powerful back pack blower on the market. The only drawback is the weight at 25lbs. This machine can give you a workout. However, due to the Redmax’s power, the job will be finished much quicker than with a weaker blower. Therefore, the Redmax should spend less time on your back.

Comfort: B

At 25lbs, this machine is heavier than the other backpack blowers. So, its weight does hurt the comfort level.

Durability: B

This Redmax backpack blower is a good solid unit. However, there were some choke levers breaking as well as starter assemblies wearing out prematurely. Hopefully, these issues will be addressed soon. Don’t expect the 8000 to be as durable and trouble free as their predecessor, the 7001. They are still good, but not bulletproof.

Ease of Start: B+

The Redmax 8000 starts easily. Usually two pulls. It does take a minute or two to warm up as do all of Redmax’s strato-charged engines.

Value for Money: B+

Usually sells for $500-600 depending on location. It is about $50 more than other packpacks. However, you are getting a more powerful blower for your money.
