Original Pro Series means model 1135880 in this review. A shared family name is not enough to identify a knife. Do not substitute a newer generation’s kit, battery figures or claims for this model.
What is documented
Bubba’s 1135880 product page identifies a brushless cordless motor, four blade profiles and two supplied batteries. It lists 7- and 9-inch E-Flex blades and 9- and 12-inch E-Stiff blades. The separately sold Magnum battery is not treated as standard equipment.
What that means for choosing a kit
Our editorial interpretation is that the blade selection is the main reason to investigate this package: it offers different lengths and flexibility within one system. That is a kit-fit judgment, not proof of better cuts, longer service life or less hand fatigue. We have not tested grip comfort or blade control. Compare the knife against the catch, work area and storage arrangement you actually expect to use.
Keep performance claims in perspective
We do not convert the manufacturer’s relative power, torque or efficiency advertising into independently verified results. Nor do we assign a cutting-runtime figure from another battery or generation. The historical 9.0 recorded for this product in a separate roundup remains separate; this standalone review has no numeric score.
Check the original bundle before ordering
The original 1135880 instruction booklet describes a supplied wall charger and requires the charger provided with the appliance. Confirm the exact original-model package with the seller, including the case and accessories. We do not assert a charger part number, waterproof case or Gen 2 extras for this kit. Current availability must be checked with the seller; an out-of-stock manufacturer listing alone does not establish discontinuation.
Care and warranty
The original instruction booklet, labeled model 1135880, distinguishes washable blades from the handle, which must not be immersed. It describes wiping the handle with a damp cloth and mild soap, says the motor and gears need no lubrication, and reserves servicing for an authorized facility. Read the full booklet, including its lock, cleaning and charging precautions, before use. These instructions do not apply automatically to other Bubba models.
The booklet specifies one-year defect coverage from manufacture or, with a dated receipt, original retail purchase. Check its terms alongside Bubba’s current warranty policy and seller eligibility; do not assume the lifetime warranty for hand knives applies.
Where to go next
Use our corded versus cordless guide to decide whether battery operation fits your workspace, and our buying guide to compare blade and kit requirements. The maintenance guide explains why care instructions must stay model-specific.
