The Cobra Fortis 17E strikes the absolute perfect balance in maneuverability, power, and cutting width. While the 14" may be too small for medium-large lawns and the 20" can be a heavy, unwieldy beast to turn in smaller gardens, the 17" model is the ultimate 'Goldilocks' machine for the varied British garden. Choosing the EGO-power over its petrol sibling means getting all the elite, striped-finish benefits of a traditional cylinder mower, minus the noise, fumes, and maintenance. You get zero-emission, push-button convenience alongside a heavy-duty, self-propelled drive that runs like a dream.
Why You Should Buy It
• The EGO Battery Advantage (Whisper-Quiet & Hassle-Free) The 17E is powered by EGO's industry-leading 56V ARC Lithium batteries. Zero petrol, zero fuss: No mixing fuel, no pull-cords to wear out, and no engine servicing. Peak Power: You get the sheer torque and professional cut of a petrol machine, but without the deafening noise or exhaust fumes. Clean storage: Without petrol or oil, you can store this mower upright or on its side without worrying about leaks or fuel going stale over winter.
• The 17" Sweet Spot (Manicured & Maneuverable). It provides a wide enough cutting swath to chew through your lawn efficiently, yet remains nimble enough to allow you to easily navigate curves and borders without wrestling the mower.
• A Complete 8-in-1 Lawn Care System The Fortis isn't just a mower; it's a full-season turf management system. The 17E features an interchangeable cartridge system. Within minutes, you can swap out the standard 6-blade cylinder to: Upgrade to an 8 or 10 blade cartridge for a finer cut, a scarifier, and dethatcher to pull out moss and thatch. A verticutter to prune lateral growth and encourage thick, upright grass. An aerator to relieve compaction. A lawn brush to stand the grass up and enhance your stripes.Commercial-Grade Finish at Home
• Cuts per metre: The 6-blade cylinder gives you a highly precise ~95 cuts per metre (or 158 cuts per metre if you upgrade to the 10-blade cartridge). That is a true scissor-action slicing, not tearing, leading to a much healthier, disease-resistant lawn.
• Striping: Equipped with a heavy steel front roller and a cast split-ribbed rear roller, you get that immaculate, dark-and-light striped effect characteristic of a top-tier bowling green.
