-
Good capacity & cutting width — the 40‑inch / 102 cm deck and 300 L collector are generous; less stopping to empty.
-
Mulching option (Versamow) is useful: gives flexibility to do clean collection or to mulch (helping return nutrients to soil).
-
Optiflow + synchronized twin‑blades help with better collection, even in damp conditions, and cleaner finish when mowing, especially around turns.
-
Comfort & usability — comfortable seating, modern controls, LED lighting, USB etc. make it more pleasant and easier to use for larger areas.
-
Drive system — hydrostatic drive gives smooth control, not jerky gear changes; useful in variable terrain.
-
Build quality — strong frame, anti‑scalp wheels to protect lawn and deck, decent tyres; generally feels robust.
