Rotak 32 LI UK

 

This a cordless mower so is much easier to use.

 

Lightweight, easy to assemble and use. Battery power works just fine and no trailing cables. Please note this is a 36V battery not 32V as stated in Amazon description. Battery is compatible with other Bosch 36V devices eg strimme

 

The lawnmower is easy to use and packs a lot of power for a battery powered. My only concern was the main box was very damaged and had been taped up with brown tape, the box was also torn at edges. It didn’t come inside another box!

 

The mower was fairly easy to assemble but take care on the starting procedure with the plastic secure key.
Apart from that the mower is easy and light to handle with no chance of splitting cables as with electrical
mowers. Being a pensioner with a fair sized garden this is the ideal tool.

 

Bought for my husband and I’ve waited about 6 months to review as it’s a considered purchase .
Excellent he’s delighted with the charge , ease of use and the finish .

 

I am pretty pleased with this, my very first, cordless lawnmower. The battery lasts for about half an hour on full charge and the lawnmower itself is very easily portable – it can be carried with one hand when the handle is folded in on itself. There is a good video review which any buyer should watch to see all its good points and how to put it together which isn’t as difficult as some would have you think.

It doesn’t really like wet grass (it clogs up the system/blades) and I’m not 100% happy with the collection of the grass – it doesn’t really throw it out to the basket efficiently enough – hence this clogs up the workings also. What this usually means is that your motor keeps stopping and it is easy for the battery to get overheated if you don’t watch out.

It does do a really nice job cutting the grass though and as long as you don’t try and cut too long grass on too small a setting (it can cut nice and close if necessary) and you give it a little breather every now and again, then it should give you good service.

 

I hated corded lawnmowers so bought a petrol driven mower, it was great no cables to trip over but it was noisy needed servicing and of course the pollution. This battery mower is so easy to use. It comes with two batteries and a charger, one battery cuts my grass more than twice on one charge, its the best ever mower.

 

One star deducted because the packaging was split open with some of the accessories sticking through the cardboard….and suspicious that may have been previously purchased/opened as previous Bosch items have had bagged instructions …. otherwise good price, and although smaller than our current Rotak, easier to use. Being able to use previous larger batteries a bonus !

 

Bought this for my Dad who is in his 70’s. He loves it, no faffing about electrical cord on the old Flymo any more. Is light – but toy like a kids toy light! Is easy to use and does a good job. Came with 2x 36V batteries also, more than needed. He can cut the front and rear garden on one battery….have to get him the cordless strimmer now!

 

I have three fair sized lawns and perhaps I should have bought the larger version of this mower. I needed to use both of the batteries to complete the cut. Lightweight and efficient. The design of the handle is good, with the option of two different positions on each side for the power buttons, so you can alternate between them and avoid getting cramp in your hands.

I previously had an 850 Hayter Harrier 48 Lawnmower, with electric start and power-drive, bought for my football pitch sized garden. Now we have moved to a nicer house with a much smaller lawn, and so I bought this after conducting some research and reading the reviews.
Construction – Very plasticy (what isn’t these days), but good Bosch quality build. I found it very easy to assemble and ready for use in 10 minutes from opening the box.
Weight – About 1/4 of the weight of my massive metal Hayter, so very easy to control and move about, or carry with one hand. Could be easily stored, or hung on a suitable wall hook.
Battery – Only one + charger supplied, with the charger, but I found it fine to cut for 25m (the time it took to cut my lawn) and there was still plenty of jiuce left.
Operation & Finish – Very easy to control, with a small roller that gave decent stripes on the lawn. Grassbox was a good capatiy and very easy to empty, but also to put on and take off the mower.
Not having any petrol or cables to worry about is a major plus+++ It means no wasted time, and you can really move fast round the garden. The motor is quiet and seems to be fairly powerful, and did not struggle once.
I have read some bad reviews, but honestly cannot see the same problems – A great small mower for the price !

 

As I expected from Bosch, this mower is good quality, despite being lightweight. It cuts very well, has three heights to chose from, and is easy to fold up for storage. The battery can be a tiny bit fiddly getting in, you need to push it quite hard to hear the click into position, but otherwise I can’t find fault with it at all.

 

There were cheaper cordless mowers available but I was not familiar with the brand and as I have had many excellent Bosch appliances I decided to get this. I was not disappointed. It is very light and at my age, nearly 70, this was a top priority. I read in the reviews that the grass box was flimsy which is true to some extent but that is what helps the mower to be so light. The grass box is perfectly adequate although I do find that it drops grass on the ground when I empty it, even if the box isn’t full. I did have a moments anxiety when I first put in the battery pack as the mower wouldn’t start! The battery pack does need to click into place. You need to hear the “click” and then all is well. The battery is brilliant for my needs. I can mow the back lawn 75 sqm and the front which is about half that and the battery hardly goes down. The indicator light it useful and it quickly recharges.
It only takes about 15 minutes to do both lawns, even though the width of the cut is much smaller than the electric mower it replaced and I am once again, thoroughly enjoying mowing the lawn.

 

The mower is good at cutting high grass, then, by lowering the cutter, taking off another cut the following day after recharging. It only has three cut levels but I have not found that a to be a disadvantage. The battery has lasted well for my purpose.

 

… i bought this last summer for the allotment, as I was fed up with petrol strimmer. This is so much better than that and cuts down the amount of time doing the grass drastically. I bought a second 2.0Ah battery and what I need to do is done in 40 mins with both batteries depleted, assuming the grass is reasonable height.

This year, the spring grass has grown long very early, and you know, it’s tackled that, albeit with 4 batteries worth of charge pretty well. Yes it does clog up, but I am really asking too much of it.

Grips, yes, I have a few. It really is very plasticky, which means you can move it around easily of course. I’d like some kind of indication of battery charge on the handle. And it does, even with short grass clog up quite a bit (I don’t use the grass box, it’s an allotment), the grass does not come shooting out the back as it should.

I had considered if I wanted the next model up (370 iirc), but for getting between raised beds, and generally getting to narrow spaces this is great. The fact that the cut is not perfect doesn’t bother me, since, well, it’s an allotment! You just need to keep the grass short-ish. Also, the 370 needs a special adaptor if you don’t have the grass-box on, which makes it more expensive still (or so I understood when I was doing my research).

Make sure you check what size batteries you are getting, I spotted that there’s one with a 2.5Ah on sale for a similar price to this one, and one more expensive with a 1.5Ah (or something). Since you’re paying primarily for the battery, worth being sure.

 

Switched from a manual push mower to an electric. Never going back This lawnmower was so easy to assemble, and it’s so easy to use. No cords. No petrol. No worries. Battery lasts a long time Am considering other Bosch purchases.

 

I have a very modest sized lawn, and for that this mower is perfect. If you leave your grass for two months and it’s the size of a tennis court this isn’t going to be for you, be realistic it’s a small mower.
It takes me less than ten minutes from taking the mower out of the garage, to putting it back in.
It was easy to assemble, if you can’t do this without instructions I suggest you stay away from machinery.
Power is completely adequate, I’ve never flattened the battery yet as it would obviously last more than ten minutes.
Grass box is great, and somehow this fits more than my old larger Bosch, I guess it compacts better.
Very light and easy to carry, made even easier without wires.
There’s a keylock system to disable the power, if you have kids.

 

Very efficient mower. Cordless is great for easy of use.
Thought might be too small for my frount garden (100m2), but the battery life is fine provided it is fully charged at the start.

 

Liked the manoeuvre ability ,the easy to clean and easy to understand the instructions of the machine.the grass collection needs a bit to feed into the box from the cutting blades you do not have a lump which builds up so when you take the box off you do not have a wall of cuttings.

 

Very easy to use, just hope it has long term durability

 

Happy with the lawnmower overall. The downside: battery life. The battery runs out quite quickly so if you have a big garden (main reason why we needed a cordless one) you’ll have to charge it a few times. Ie: a 150foot garden took 4 recharges. It charges quickly but still, time consuming overall.

 

Best lawn mower I’ve ever had. Gives a very good even cut. So good to not to have to worry about an electric cable. You do have to put the battery in with quite a bit of force but that’s easy once you get use to it.

 

Love being able to just set up put the battery in and off you go

 

I have a very small lawn which is why I thought this would work well for me. It was easy to put together and I charged the battery whilst assembling it. Nice cut and no longer have to keep moving a lead to get round the garden. Would thoroughly recommend for people with small lawns and the batter charge lasted around an hour, so cut my lawn 4 times to one charge.
