Tanaka TBL-7800R 65-CC 4-2/7-Horsepower 2-Stroke Backpack Blower Tube-Mounted Throttle, Large


My wife, Cheryl, bought this leaf blower for ‘us’ and it arrived yesterday. I did the research for it. This blower is extremely well built and easy to use. It started right up after assembling the tube and attaching the throttle. I had also bought the Pelto noise protectors which fit very well and do what they say they do. I have ear protectors with everything that I use that needs suppression. The loudest tool I own is a 62cc Stihl pro chainsaw with compression release. It is MUCH louder than the 65cc Tanaka TBL-7800R. But it does have more compression and needs to be small, versatile, and be able to be worked in small places. I have used this leaf blower 3 times in the last 2 days and it is not only a BEAST, it’s also a CADILLAC. No vibration at idle, not much at full throttle. And MAN, can it move some leaves. Here in NH this was a banner year for them. I am pleased that it was made in Japan because I just don’t trust the crap coming out of China. [If you can't make steel good enough to build bridges with, STOP making steel. Same thing with your baby formula and your toxic dry wall.] I’m 61 years old and log my own cordwood and have used many power tools out in the woods. The Tanaka will fit nicely in with the ‘keepers’. You can’t beat a 3 year warrantee either!!!

Customer Reviews

It Rocks! – Jerry Sullivan – Austin, Texas
This blower is fantastic. It blows my 20 x 50′ driveway off in 10 seconds flat. I have a large yard with 50 trees and I can now finally take care of it by myself in a reasonalble amount of time. My previous blower was a weak corded model that took all day to do what I can do now in an hour. I was paying from – every two weeks during the fall to clean up the yard. So as you can see it has already paid for itself. It is a better blower than the yard service guys were using. Like the other reviewer, I appreciate the fact that it is Japanese and not Chinese. It is a quality piece of equipment and has a great warranty. It blows very hard and you’ll need to be careful with things not tied down. Already had a few of my wifes Christmas decorations launched into the void. Very pleased with the purchase.

Gets the job done – C. Boyce – K.C mo.
If you have a large yard, then this is for you. It’s not the most nimble blower and you will find it difficult to get into tight corners. But the sheer power of this tool allows you to do allot of work on just idle. I can blow leaves off the roof of my house on full throttle! Because of the amount of money invested in this product, I only use synthetic two-stroke oil and 91 octane. It is surprisingly frugal on gas. Although there are other blowers out there that cost less, and offer vacuum/mulch ability, not many match its CFM output/ MPH velocity. A big plus is its Japanese construction. The fact that it’s not made in Mexico or china speaks volumes for me. With a flip of the on switch and one pull, just one, and it’s on. I have used this for about 5 hours of run time so I cannot say how it’s is going to last for long haul but from the look and feel of this blower, It isn’t giving me any reason to think I will be buying another one for a long time.

easy start, easy to use – Barry Sykes – Ringwood, NJ
right out of the box, easy to assemble hoses and setup. The directions were good, nice to follow. It starts right up every time and is very powerful. I like the fact that the gas cap is attached to the tank and the speed switch is comfortable. Its a little cumbersome getting it on your back until using it a couple of times. It does a great job and will blow wet leaves as well as dry.
