A 90 minute charge will give you an impressive 80 minutes of run-time, depending on how overgrown you’ve let your garden grow. It’s a decent piece of kit for the money, especially if you already own tools from the Cobra cordless range and can share batteries and chargers to cut down the upfront expenditure. The cutting head rotates 90 degrees for edging duties and comes packing a plant bumper guard to protect your precious perennials. In use, the Cobra will give you quite a wild ride – there’s a fair bit of vibration to contend with and it runs quite loud and raspy, but it certainly makes short work of long grass, offering up a large cutting arc for speedy strimming. On unboxing, you’ll need to engage in a spot of minor assembly before you can unleash it but this does mean you can fix the handle in the perfect position to suit your strimming stance. This cordless wonder from Cobra comes decked out with a Ferrari-red paint job – perfect for racing around an unkempt lawn on a hot summer’s day. Just be careful working close to paving and stony borders. It’s a neat solution and super easy to fit but we found that they do tend to wear down quite quickly, especially if you accidentally come into contact with anything hard and heavy. This strimmer utilizes a custom plastic cutting blade instead of strimmer wire. The unit weighs in at 1.85kg, which makes it nice and nimble for keeping a small garden in check but it will struggle on thicker patches of long grass. Compared to other strimmers on test, the cutting head is quite small but it does mean you can venture into narrower, more inaccessible areas of your garden where other larger-headed strimmers might struggle.
The unit is powered by Gtech’s distinctive grenade shaped Li-Ion battery that slots in the end of the handle and grants around 30 minutes of cutting time from a four-hour charge. This newer, slightly updated version of the popular GT40 gets a fresh white paint job and a few electronic tinkerings but it’s essentially the same zippy, Dyson-esque strimmer we know and love.
