So far so good
Purchased this a few weeks ago, have used it on two occasions , it was simple to assemble and very easy to use, leaves a nice finish because of the rear roller, I am convinced it was a good buy
Nice lightweight mowe
This little mower is lightweight but cuts very well. I’ve only give it four stars as although pretty easy to assemble, the handle proved very tricky at the point where it joins to the main mower body, ie the holes for the screws did not line up properly. However, with much strenuous effort my husband and I managed to get it sorted. All in all, it’s a nice, lightweight mower, even if on the cheaper side, and I would recommend it for a smaller garden but please have another person with you when assembling!

easy to push
I have only used it twice. I am really pleased with this mower. After using a flymo for years,this is a pleasure to use. thank you.
Not the best mower.
It works ok but does not cut the grass low enough for me. It is at the lowest level but does not
cut the grass as low as my old mower which unfortunately broke. I would not buy another Bosch
mower.
I wish the cable is longer than 10m
if the cable is longer say 15m and the handle bar is shorter then it’ll be great. long handle bars makes it not easy to make a turn at the end of the lawn.
I have owned three of these and I have found they perform consistently for about 6 years and then need replacing. I managed to sell the previous one for about a third of the cost of a new one. I expect it will keep running OK for another 2-3 years. I have to admit to being a bit lazy and have never bothered with getting the blade sharpened.
As you can see from my video I don’t have a huge lawn. It takes me about 7 minutes from start to finish. There is no lead winder. You could simply wrap the cable around the handle. However, I bought an inexpensive frame to wrap the lead around. I would quite like to have a hook on the handle that I could attach this to.
When the grass is damp I only need to empty the grass bin once. If it’s dry, the grass bulks up and I have to empty it twice. As you can see in the video I had meadow turf laid. As a result it tends to clump as the grass grows. The Bosch 34R handles this when the grass gets as high as 6-9 inches.
The handle can be loosened and folded onto itself to reduce the height for storage. A lot of people mention the grass container being a bit flimsy. In the more than 10 years I have been using this model it has never really been an issue. I have also never had a problem with the power switch, although it can feel a little lightweight.
Quiet, efficient mowe
I purchased this mower to do a friend’s very large lawn. It managed the lawn with ease. The mower is quiet and the grass cuttings box held far more than my previous mower. I managed to assemble it on my own. The only bit I struggled with was getting the back wheels to click on. Good mower for the money

Great value for money.
Quite easy to put together although the instructions are only drawings. Wheels can be secured by hitting them with the heel of your hand to make them secure. Very light and easy to manoeuver. Good size grassbox. Starting lever doesn’t feel very positive but seems to work okay. Overall good value at the price paid.

Cuts really well!
The weight is heavier the expected but it cuts the grass really well. A good purchase for the price.
A good quality lawnmower.
The Bosch Rotak 36 R Electric Lawnmower is an efficient machine. It has a powerful 1300 watt electric motor and adjustable cutting height at five different heights. At first, I was surprised to find that the body is made of plastic, but on reflection, this means that it will not rust. It cuts well and is easy to use. The grass collection box is also made of plastic. I am pleased with my purchase.
I have tried multiple lawnmower including the cordless version of the Bosh Rotak but unfortunately none of them really works. Bosh cordless was really convenient but it stops every 10 minutes of use. I am not sure whether its problem with the specific piece but was disappointing. Finally thought to give a try on the wired version.
First of all please note that the wire is only 10 Meter. It may not be sufficient even if you got a moderate size garden. So please make sure you got an extension as well. Assembling the unit was really simple, took around 10 minutes. It got sharp blade which makes the grass cutting really simple. It has three height adjustment which can be easily changed by pressing near the wheel. The handle height can also be adjusted based on the comfort level. It is light weight too. I am really pleased with overall performance of this machine. Its a good choice for anyone who is looking for a decent lawnmower in an affordable price range. Definitely recommended!
Brilliant!
The ONLY issue is trying to register the guarantee. You get the distinct impreaaion that Bosch don’t want tou to have the guarantee. The website to register is a nightmare. They send you a validation e-mail which never arrives and not even in junk mail. Hopeless.

Lightweight, but definitely up to the job.
Cuts well and a good size collection box on the back. Managed our really long grass with n o problems, and has different height settings to help. Very pleased with it for its price.

Great first lawn mowe
I’ve never owned a lawnmower before except I used the trimmers in the past, so nothing to compare with. From my perspective, it does the job, cuts the grass as expected, easy to manoeuvre, cords long enough and grass collector is effective but does require emptying often.
It does feel a bit flimsy in places ( grass collector) , handles but did not cause me issues. Used for three months and definitely good value for money.
Bosch lawnmowe
Bought this to replace an earlier electric Bosch that has given ten years excellent service. Great value, plug and play. Love the cut height adjuster- just one lever to change cut height. Reliable.
Nifty thing
Right. 5 stars because once it gets moving. It’s super nifty. But watch out for: puting it go together -watch a YouTube video and follow those instructions. Don’t bother with the written one.
Using it – if it doesn’t work, check that the mechanism on the handle is tight by taking it apart and tightening. Then press the button and squeeze handle. Always in that order. Squeeze (like in magnificent seven with yul brenner) slow to get it moving. Other than that. Excellent -really impressed.

One man went to mow!
The manoeuvrability as a result of it being narrower and lighter is very welcome. What is less welcome is that the cable is too short by about 2m it would be much more of a nightmare if we had a big garden.
Overall though pleased.
A good all round lawnmowe
Took a while to assemble (had to youtube it) but after that, it’s a decent lawnmower. Good for the price and was able to cut over bumpy terrain!
Standard
Bought this one as a replacement for my rotak 37ER which packed in, very similar mower apart from with width of cut & slightly smaller motor. Nothing is built to last nowadays so it’s dear enough to get 3-5 years out of it. Annoyed as after buying it for 104.99, Amazon have a deal of the day for 75
Lack of instructions
Quick negatives first. The lack of instructions in the box was shocking. The instructions were only pics. The pics were not very clear. Took me nearly an hour to assemble the machine and that was thanks to someone put a video on YouTube. Also One of the wheels just kept coming off the machine when the machine was in use.
Also the wire is not that long. You need to use an extension wire if you have a big garden.
The machine itself is actually to be honest 5 stars. Nice and easy to use. Very smooth. Lightweight. Even my 11 year old was finding it easy to use. Cuts grass perfectly. Happy with the purchase. Only lack of instructions and the wheel kept coming off the only negative.
Very good for a small garde
Works really well, with stripes, and over uneven ground, no complaints here. But.
it has a very small cutting area. Takes forever to cut a medium sized lawn.

Great all rounder as mower and leaf vac.
There are some stand out features that make this mower a great buy when on offer at under 110. 1st is a pretty good cut but less obvious is the design of the grass box which when separated from the mower sits at a useful angle to allow extra leaves and weeds to be added without shedding any cuttings.
There are few cons but I would comment that the power lead is too short for even a small 30 x 30 m lawn and the height adjustment steps need to be better spaced.

Great little Mower!
Does the job!
I have a medium sized lawn (by UK standards – which are quite small). I have had no problems so far.
I have a broken back and this little mower is light and easily manoeuvred.
Hopefully the typical Bosch standard of quality lasts a long time.
Cheers.

Same'ol same'ol
Does exactly what a bosch does best no matter how much abuse you throw at it. This is the 2nd one I’ve had and its great. The only issue is at the slightest sign of damp the entrance to the box can become clogged as well as the cutting blade bay. Wouldn’t have any other mower fro my size garden and what i expect the machine to do.

Good produc
Not easy to assemble instructions not much use. The grass box is flimsy but workable. The mower itself is easy to use a great for my small lawns. Early days but seems like a good produc
Good budget lawnmower for small lawn.
Good easy to assemble budget lawnmower that works very well. Great for my small lawn as its lightweight and fairly easy to manoeuver and cuts close to wall and fence leaving very little to strim. Also has 5 height settings which allowed me to gradually reduce the height of grass on my new lawn without cutting off more than 1/3 off on any cut. Only likely problem is grass box not very robust so hopefully it lasts. Also a little difficult to clean after use as grass gets stuck down side of height adjustment lever.
Decent mower but folding the handle is difficul
Folding down the handle is difficult and the Mower itself feels slightly heavier than the previous model I had. Also the number of cutting heights is now 5 as opposed to the 10 on the previous model. It cuts the grass well tho and the grass box is a good size.

his lawnmower is very light, so easy to use.
his mower is easy and light to use.just one thing,its seems the grass collectiion box is very “flimsy” and won’t take a lot of handling..
Gives a nice finish
Good mower that gives a nice tidy cut and it’s good to have easily adjustable height settings. My only critism would be that the grass collection box is rather flimsy and the handle kept coming off until I modified the clips that hold it in place – they just don’t grip very well. Design improvement required there.
Got it on a Lightning deal for 73 – I’m happy with that!
Easy to assemble
Wasn’t clear how to put grass box together. I was scared of breaking the red clips, not being sure if they lifted. Otherwise excellent.
Great value for money
Super easy to put together and quite self explanatory with no tools required.
My disappointment so far has been the fitting quality when the grass box is assembled. The end of the grass box which fits to the mower has gaps.
I do get the complaints about feeling flimsy but apart from the grass box I thought could be better, I have no complaints.
Used it for the first time today and better than my Qualcast and Flymo I had in the past.
Cuts well, easy to us and best of all collected the cut grass better than previous mowers. Don’t think will be using the rake much after a cut with this.
It’s not an industrial mower and for 100, treat it with a bit of care and sure will last a few years.
Easy to gold and very compact.
Good value little mowe
A lovely lightweight mower. I had to get my son to assemble it. He’s an engineer and I can’t be bothered with instructions. My lawn is about the size of two thirds of a tennis court. I had to use an extension lead but knew this before purchase. The lawn is bumpy and the grass grows at different rates so I adjusted the height several times. A bit stiff but doable. Overall I’m pleased so far with my purchase.

Very good
Have been using this for a couple of months now and am very happy with it. Assembly took a while, make sure you get the handle on the right way although it will work if they point down and it could even be an option for shorter gardeners. In use it is very good. It fires up very quickly and cut nicely. Grass box is a decent size. The handles are well designed with plenty of places to grip where you feel most comfortable. Another good Bosch mower at a reasonable price basically

Compact lawn mover but feels like wrapped in cheap plastic
I had the previous version of the same lawn mover, which stopped working after several years of service. I decided to stick with the same brand & model. This new version is more compact and takes less space to store. One concern/grief I have is the plastic cover and grass box collection appears very weak, and feels cheap. The height adjusting lever is quite lower and not easy to manipulate while you are cutting the grass. It is likely to break easily. Definitely not worth of 100+. I am not confident this will last same long as my old one, but fingers crossed it will!

Bosch Rotak 34R.
Bought one that had recently been sold and was repacked. Like new when I got it and saved a few bob along the way.
Very good value for money
I had a Bosch mower that lasted ten years before I killed it running over too many tree stumps. I bought this one because of my experience with the previous mower.
Very happy with it so far.
Good size grass box which is easily attached and emptied.
Motor isn’t that noisy at all so can cut the grass without attracting my neighbours because they always want to have a chat when they see me in the garden.
You’ll need an extension lead.
Cuts easily long grass and thick shorter grass.
Light weight to carry around, it has a carry handle and you can lift the machine comfortably even with the grass box attached.
One big downer compared with the old mower is that the mower lead is fixed to the machine. I’d much prefer, like the old one, being able to detach it and not having it all unwind etc when I’m putting the mower away.
It’s totally easy to assemble on your own…common sense really.
Great value, works brilliantly!
This is NOT easy to assemble, took a bad language half hour but hey, you only assemble it once ! A little heavy and unwieldy. Cable not long enough for my small garden, needs a plug in extension. Some reviews mentioned flimsy , but (for 105!) I think the quality is fine, and I have bought Bosch before because the reputation is good. Cuts the grass well , and I just had the previous Bosch model which lasted me 15 or more years . This has bigger grass box and wider cut, which both work well. As a basic effective mower, it’s definitely a great buy.
Good performance mower for a reasonable price
Great mower, cuts well & easy to manoeuvre. Had to buy a extension lead as it couldn’t quite reach the bottom of the garden about 40ft. Had to keep checking if the collection box was full but now I have an idea how much it holds it won’t be a problem.
Great little mowe
I read the reviews glad I took a chance anyway I have had no problems at all simple to assemble cuts well if you follow the instructions properly peace of cake
Fantastic improvement on my old mower.
A massive improvement on my old Qualcast mower. It actually sucks up clippings and scattered leaves like a good un. The roller leaves a nice stripe on the lawn and cutting is so effortless and “complete” that I don’t have to move it back and forth to get a clean cut; simply move forward in one smooth motion and the job is done. Admittedly my old Qualcast was, well, old but I’m so impressed by how much better this mower is. The compact storage is also a big plus.
my lawn mower broke down 4 years old (they do not last long) got this one as looked good for the money, desperate to get grass cut. Put this mower together in 30 mins, the grass box sides at the end did not fit properly but I managed to clip them together. Grass holds in whilst mowing, cut the grass fine was smoother machine than my old mower.
The whole thing though so plastiky looking it looks like a large child’s toy.
When will the western world start making things to last and stop all this cheapness from overseas of products that are not environmentally friendly. These cheap plastic things are not made to last.
Bosch Rotak Lawnmowe
The purchase of the mower is well worth the price. One of the key features of the product is that it allows you 5 settings from which you can cut your lawn. Very pleased with the product.
Good buy
Once assembled this mower is a delight to use, very pleased with how it has cut my lawn.
The handle is very difficult to attach, definitely need two pairs of hands. Bit disappointed with quality of grass box but does it’s job. This mower was a replacement for first one I ordered. First one had a front wheel not attached. Customer service very helpful and sent me a replacement one next day and organised for faulty one to be picked up.
Top-end for a budget mowe
Obviously not the best mower in the world, but at its price point this thing is really great. As with all these budget Bosch products there is no skimping on power. Set up and storage is well thought out and easy to deal with. Controls are no nonsense. Perfect for a small lawn. Only bad point is the grass box handle which will just fall off if there is any weight of grass in the box. I got this for under 80 which is a steal.
Does what it says on the ti
10 minutes to assemble, cuts well, and leaves an even finish. Good for the price. I recommend you make sure you register it with Bosch, you get three year cover for repairs. I bought mine, the back roller lost a securing cap on the first week, contacted Bosch having registered it. Item was collected from home for repair, six days later they just sent me a new one. Hopefully I just had a rogue one, so I’ll update this if I have any more issues, but fingers crossed as it’s a good mowe
Bosch Rotax 44R Electric lawnmowers
The Bosch Rotax 44 R is a well built solid machine with strong cutting blade.
Assembling it is quite easy , assembling the grass box ,which most people find it difficult ! is a very minor problem ,so all in all one can assemble the machine in 30 minutes maximum!!
The Bosch lawnmower would be a super tool if it was not for the fixing of the 2 loose wheels!!If these plastic wheels are not precisely cut they will not fit !!
But if you are lucky and they do you will have a really good machine!!
It is quite manoeuvreable and reasonably lightweight!!
brilliant mowe
Bought this mower to replace my existing one. Did some research. So happy, it is lightweight, easy to assemble first time around. I bought it because it has a wheel base, plus height adjustment lever for cutting the grass. Furthermore, the grass collector is larger than my previous mower, and can be compacted for storage.
It cuts better than my previous mower, my only snag is the cable length. I think the standard should be 12-15m and not 10m.
Better than expected
Very easy to put together and very easy to use. The only downside is the grass box seems a bit flimsy, but time will tell.
Excellent lawn mower definitely better than my old Flymo

So far so good. Lightweight, does the job, though a bit plasticky
I have a large garden, so this probably wasn’t the best electric mower to buy. However, I wanted something lightweight, as my garden slopes, and I didn’t want to end up wrecked each week after mowing. So far all good. Have used it three times, and it coped with longer, slightly damp grass very well. The aim is to mow regularly, so that I don’t put it, or myself, under that much pressure, but with our climate this isn’t always possible.
I think it’s made in China, so doesn’t have the robust feel that I would expect from a Bosch. However, it’s working for me… should that change I will update.
Good Produc
The assembly instructions could have been better, especially with regard to folding the arm when not in use. But the product itself is good
Great mowe
I’m new to gardening and needed a lightweight, quality mower which cut to different lengths and made the job easier. This is a great item and makes cutting the grass less of a chore. It’s easy to maneuver, cuts brilliantly with an even cut and all the cuttings are collected. There is minimal cleaning as I just brush any loose cuttings away. I’m very pleased.

Very good but flimsy collection box and very heavy
Firstly this is a very good lawn mower. Far better than my previous Flymo. This does not scalp the lawn and it cuts very well (I suppose with a new blade it should). I like the height adjuster handle, which is far easier to use than my previous one. It’s powerful and also reasonably quiet. Now the downsides. Its not easy to assemble. The grass box is poorly constructed, being flimsy and doest fit together well. When you empty the grass box lots of grass just falls out. No storage for the cord (it looks great being held in place with garden wire) the cord is a bit too short and finally it’s heavy. I know it’s advertised at 11 kg but lightweight it isn’t. Overall the negatives outweigh the positives as it does do its only job of cutting the grass very well (although it doesn’t stripe my lawn like it’s supposed to with the roller at the back)
Good cutter but don't like the trigger.
Typical good quality from Bosch but don’t like the trigger which is only for right handers. My old Bosch has a trigger that goes all the way across the handle and that is much more convenient. A disappointing cost cutting exercise.
Very happy not sure what all the negative reviews were abou
Take it from me, I was worried to buy this lawnmower from reading some of the negative reviews. They are non sense, and it’s a treat to use. Picks up all th grass, cuts close to the edge and the grass container is double size potentially from our last cheapo. No I don’t have shares in Bosch, live in Hampshire and highly reccomend. For the price what do you expect……

Fabulous
Bosch Rotak mowers are the best by far. Give great cutting results and nice lawn stripes if you require.
Good cutting heights. Easy to assemble & store.
Do not cut extremely long grass as this could burn motor out in the the long term.
Mow your lawn weekly in the growing season.

We had Bosch for about 14 years and engine still work well, need to fix the switch hanger, but I cannot do it myself. So decided to buy another Bosch.
Light weight quiet good cu
Just got this deliverd easy to build up. Took it for its test run Brilliant.. Great cut no matter what length the grass is. Easy to move around quiet and sturdy.

Perfect for my large garde
This is my first lawnmover and it is amazingly powerful to cut a fully grown lawn. Assembly was not easy. Only criticism is that the grass box is small and needs to empty it multiple times. Next time i have consider a 36cm or above to save cutting time.
Good mow but needs assembly instructions!
I initially hated this mower because it came in many strange pieces with no accompanying list of items or assembly instructions to help me decide which bit of red plastic went where, and which screw I required. My husband even searched for the instructions, not believing that I had looked ‘properly’. I ended up finding a Youtube video made by people who just enjoy putting stuff together…not Bosch I might add – just very helpful random people.
Anyway, after the initial frustrated swearing before and during assembly, it actually mows really well, so I don’t hate it anymore.

Does the job well but check the lead length is OK for you
I’ve only used it once and it was fine. But I want to put out a couple of comments. This was purchased to replace my 2013 Bosch TYP3600H81B74 – which lasted 8 years before the motor burnt out. I liked the old one so decided to go with a similar product (even though 8 years seemed a bit premature for disposal – and sadly a new motor is far more expensive than a new mower)..
I was disappointed that this mower had a shorter lead (by approx 4 metres) than my old one. Which with my set-up means that I have to buy a new extension lead and it will have to hang in the grass area to enable the mower to reach my furthest points. (which messes with a small boundary hedge) My grass area is about 14m x 12m and it won’t reach across the 12m part. Sadly in the specification that I read there was no mention of lead length.
I guess it is just one of those areas of manufacturing cost cutting that slips under the radar.
Good points – the handles are a good feature, and with four switches to hold the power on located on each handle or on left and right side on the horizontal bar so there are plenty of places to hold onto and keep the motor going.
The depth of cut selector appears to be better too – in the old mower it would occasionally jump out, whereas this appears a more robust design.
Irritations….the grass box is more fragile, but hopefully will last the duration. The leaflet advising how to assemble is not up to date so the diagram of the machine handle arrangement makes you think that you may have been supplied with the wrong part, but it all goes together ok and is in line with photos on the box. There is a small extra part to the lead wire which is obvious where it goes but isn’t in the diagram. Technical Publications get your act together!
I like these mowers because of the roller at the back does leave ‘lines’ which I like in my lawn (sorry Monty).
Let’s see if this one lasts 8 years or more!
Easy to assemble and works well
I am not sure what the people who find this difficult to assemble are doing. I did this by myself in around 30 minutes.
I agree the instructions are not the best but you can also look at the picture on the box it came in for hints…
The grass container is more than rugged enough to hold grass. It is not flimsy but it is lightweight – which is good as I don’t want a heavy mower!!
Works very well at cutting the grass cleanly and putting it in the collector. I switched to this from a cheap flymo and the grass looks so much better after just one cut!

Efficie
This was a replacement like ‘for like’! the older model was excellent and hopefully the newer model will be as good if not better. looking good so far.
Great bosch produc
Got this on warehouse, box had a hole in it which saved 20! Dont understand negative comments re made in china etc? This is as good as any bosch ive owned. My garden is an uneven meadow with lots of blade breaking items. This amazing bit of kit breezed through it. Great quality cut and perfect handling. Really feels like it was made with quality. More than enough power, and the grassbox isnt at all weak? I think some people want a box made of strengthened titanium?? Buy it – u wont be sorry.

Replaced like for like
My previous one I had, same make, lasted a couple of years and this was to replace it as I was so impressed with the first one I bought. Very easy to use.

Lightweight and easy to use
Always used Bosch so ordered again. Meant to order next one up as I like the handles on those much better as they’re sturdy. My last one was this model and it was as the handle that broke, I had it a while though.
Robust start/safety mechanism in ergonomic handle
To start this mower you press a button and squeeze the switch on either the horizontal or vertical handles. There is no pull mechanism to break, just a switch to squeeze and this shouldn’t fail. The mains cable is continuous so there is no connection point that could fail. The mower can hang off the wall with a bracket of about 6 inches of reach. The grass box nestles quite well in the handle. The first time I tried the mower the grass was damp and at least 70mm long and lying flat. I set the mower to max height and it did a decent job. The grass comb worked quite well in these extreme conditions. I needed to stop the mower and clear out the wet grass from underneath, But two grass boxes worth in this worst case test. I tried dropping it one notch and running over part of lawn but ground so undulating I stopped and in future will just use max height setting which suits long tough grass we have. Our lawn is only 20 foot square so I am sure a smaller cheaper mower from the Bosch stable would’ve been adequate but this mower is replacing one which broke at a press button pull lever to switch on.
Good value for money
I’ve just received this mower and put it together, and cut the grass. Reading some reviews I was slightly nervous, but I think it’s very good value for money.
Some reviewers have said that the grass collector is flimsy. I disagree. It feels fine and due to it’s size it needs to be light or it would make the front of the mower point at the sky once it’s full of grass.
Other comments were about the roller not putting down lines. All I can say is that my lawn now has stripes.
My only criticism is that the instructions have not been updated for some changes in the design. The instructions show a single “U” shaped handle that is initially attached to the mower, when in reality it’s 2 pieces. It’s also not very clear which way up you fit the upper section, so my first cut was done with this the wrong way up, but this was soon fixed. It took about 10 minutes to put this mower together.
All in all I expect this will last 10 years, so for 100 that’s 10 a year to cut the lawn which is fine with me.
Worth the Money
Good value for money. There are plenty of cheaper and more expensive models to choose from so it’s tricky getting the balance right. Replaced a Flymo I had for years. Very happy with this product.
Pretty easy to assemble. Light, considering it’s a mechanical item.
Product really light as it is made solely from plastic. Makes me a little nervous about quality, but so far so good.
Easy to use, does a great job cutting. Cutting height level is great.
Only word of warning is that I had to re-order the wheels (that you had to attach yourself). Amazon was really good, after they directed me to the supplier. Then I found the original wheels. Slightly hidden away inside the glass basket (I hadn’t looked so maybe my fault).
Product recommended.
Very pleased
Having moved into a new property, I decided to kit myself out with some decent gardening tools and equipment. I carefully researched what would suit the lawns, and opted for the 34R. I’ve used it for the whole summer season, and I’m very pleased with it. My wife is particularly complimentary about the evenness and finish.
Great lawnmower!
I bought this for my dad. He doesn’t mow his lawn all that often but this lawnmower does a great job on the long grass whereas his old one really struggled. The lawn looks great when mowed. I would say it’s slightly on the heavy side to use but it does such a great job I can forgive this. It’s a robust machine and as you would expect from Bosch it’s great quality. I would recommend this lawnmower.

Purchased for a 2nd time
Previously purchased the same make/model of lawnmower, so many years ago that I cannot remember when! When our initial Bosch Rotak 34 R Electric Rotary Lawn Mower finally reached the end of its life, we did not hesitate to purchase the same product again.
Bosch Rotak Lawnmower.
I’ve only ever had fly mowers in the past but with the Bocsh Rotak it is a lot better to handle and due to the wheels it puts beautiful stripes in the lawn like it’s been done by a professional

Great mower at a great price
What can I say about this? It knows grass really well, really simple to adjust. And collects grass as expected.
It basically does what it’s supposed to do and does it well.
