Stuart also commented on the weight of the model, saying “it’s also very light at just 20kg, and the 50L grass catcher will cut down on extra trips to the compost heap.” That’s a viewpoint echoed in the fantastic feedback from buyers, as it’s been a perennial favourite for gardeners ever since it was launched.

It’s a real testament to the quality of the products and their functionality, while reinforcing our stockists’ trust in our products, knowing that they are not only high-quality and reliable, but are also eminently popular and sellable. “As ever, we are fully committed to supporting our extensive dealer network and doing all we can as a brand to drive business opportunities for them. Our marketing initiatives like this show we are supporting them right from the ground level; liaising with journalists and sending out products to gain the credentials that these mowers truly deserve, and ultimately generating more revenue for our dealers.”
Recent Cobra media endorsements also span beyond the mower range with the Independent also recognising the HT550E hedgetrimmer; Expert Reviews praising the GTRM3024V strimmer as the “best cordless strimmer for a mid-sized garden”; and the ever-popular QS2500 shredder appearing in Gardeners’ World’s ‘best shredder’ review, as well as in more than 50 regional newspapers.
