Powerful and Quiet Shredding Performance
The Cobra QS2500 is a quiet drum shredder designed to make managing garden waste simple and efficient. It is powered by a robust 2500W motor, providing ample power to shred garden waste and branches up to 40mm in diameter. The innovative drum cutting system operates at a lower noise level than traditional impact shredders, making it a more pleasant tool to use in residential areas. For tougher loads, a practical plunger is supplied to help increase throughput safely.
Efficient Drum Cutting System
The QS2500 operates using a powerful rotating drum gear mechanism. This system is designed to automatically pull branches inward as they are fed into the machine, reducing the effort required by the user. As the branches make contact with the spinning drum, they are forced against a solid metal plate, where the material is effectively crushed and broken down into smaller, manageable pieces ideal for composting or mulching.
User-Friendly Design with Large Collection Box
Equipped with a generous 50-litre collection box, the Cobra QS2500 can handle large amounts of garden waste before needing to be emptied. This reduces downtime and makes large clear-up jobs quicker. For added safety, an integrated switch automatically cuts power to the motor if the collection box is removed, preventing any accidental contact with the cutting mechanism. The inclusion of an auto-feed function and a reverse gear for clearing blockages further enhances its user-friendly credentials.
This shredder is perfectly suited for homeowners and keen gardeners looking to manage waste from pruning trees and shrubs in medium to large-sized gardens. It efficiently transforms branches and cuttings into fine chippings, ideal for composting or use as mulch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum branch size the Cobra QS2500 can handle?
The Cobra QS2500 is engineered to shred branches and garden waste up to a maximum diameter of 40mm (approximately 1.5 inches). This makes it ideal for processing prunings from most common garden trees and shrubs.
How does the ‘quiet’ drum cutting system work?
Unlike louder impact shredders that use fast-spinning blades, the QS2500 uses a drum cutting system. A rotating drum gear pulls branches in and crushes them against a solid metal plate. This method is significantly quieter and produces chippings that are excellent for composting.
What happens if a branch gets stuck in the shredder?
The Cobra QS2500 is equipped with a convenient reverse function. If a blockage occurs, you can simply switch the motor into reverse to release the jammed material, allowing you to clear it safely and easily without dismantling the machine.
Is the collection box easy to use and safe?
Yes, the shredder features a large 50-litre collection box that slides out for easy emptying. For enhanced safety, it includes a switch that automatically cuts power to the motor when the box is removed, preventing accidental contact with the cutting mechanism.
