Bosch ‘Powerdrive’ motor
The Rotak 36 R is a powerful and lightweight lawnmower.

Good buy
Bought this at a reduced price so very happy. Does what it says on the tin cuts the grass no bother. We just have a small garden so this size suited.
bosch lawnmowe
This lawnmower cuts the grass well but the part that collects the grass is a bit flimsy, also I am having a hard time with the guarantee online I have put all the details in yet wont accept it.
Not perfec
I had it to replace a smaller Bosch lawnmower that lasted for about 6 years. The grass box is very flimsy and not a good fit. It doesn’t cut the grass short enough on the lower setting and have been advised to purchase and fit a washer to lower the blade. I wished I hadn’t bought it.
Good value.
Good value and easy to put together and use. Not overly heavy. Easy to manoeuvre while cutting. Little noisy but it a lawn mower so that’s expected. Easy to adjust cutting high. Only complaint is the collection bin feels a bit flimsy.
Very pleased!
An ideal lawnmower and at such a good price. You can’t go wrong with any Bosch product and I compared prices and reviews of other similar lawnmowers and decided on this one.
Not the easiest putting it together but persevere.
Cuts very well
The main body is fiddly to put together, but when completed is fine. I would not advise “breaking it down” for ease of storage however. Although the grass box does its job, and takes a lot of grass before it needs emptying, the engineering of it is atrocious. Very flimsy feel, and in fact I have used duct tape to fix the joints in place. Having said that overall , it does do a good job
Cuts superbly and easy to use
This is my third Rotak over many years and I still think they are the best value for money lawnmower you can buy. As long as you look after them they work tirelessly cutting efficiently and easily on a medium sized garde
Best mower for grass collection - has roller for stripes
I purchased this model having used an elderly neighbour’s identical mower, whilst cutting her grass for her over the past year. It was easy to assemble (15 minutes), cuts as well as a new mower should, and best of all it leaves no residue cuttings on the lawn as it has excellent air flow and pick up capability. Its light and easy to manoeuvre and has a fairly long lead although I do use an extension cable.
Replacement lawnmowe
Very similar to our previous lawnmower same style and very good performance over many years. Economically priced but really cut the lawn very well.
Easy to assemble and realively easy to use as it lightweight . An all round good buy.
Produc
Great product glide and slide through shrubs at ease. Straightforward to assembling instructions. But I’m not happy ,
* It’s not the size I expected
* 2 of the tyres are missing, hence the reasons why I have to return it and order for the next size up . The 36 R.
Great choice !
After years of using a flymo thought i’d go for a change ! wish i’d done it sooner delighted with this mower looks great easy to set up and cuts without throwing grass everywhere leaving lawn looking great only reason gave 4 stars handle could be easier to fold away
Cuts well
A bit on the heavy side but cuts throguh long grass with ease. Not sure if I will ever utilise the roller properly but all in all faultless for it’s primary job of cutting.
The grass box is a 2/5 hence brings this score down. Yes it collects grass but is not very sturdy and be prepared to leave half your load on the ground everytime you disconnect from the mower.
Bosch 34R Mowe
2nd purchase of this item. Well impressed, ideal for my small lawn and mower couldn’t b easier to handle. Light and efficient. Grass Box is flimsier than previous model, lets see if ot stands the test of time.
Approximately 15 Kg. in weight, is light for a lawnmower, which folds down roughly into a square shape, for minimal storage space.
Mainly of a plastic construction, allowing for the less weight, is robust enough for periodic use.
The 10 metre long electric flex, coloured orange for safety and rubber plug, is sufficient for the smaller garden or medium sized one, perhaps requiring an extension lead.
Always use an RCD circuit breaker, widely available.
There is a red lever for easy grass height selection (2cm-7cm.)
The lawnmower requires initial assembly per the instruction booklet (could be improved), yet is fairly straight forward.
The is no explanation/depiction, how to fold the lawnmower with the grass box after use.
After a little trial and error, I found out how to, which is easy/simple to remember (split the grass box into two.)
The plastic grass box two halves are clipped together, one on top of the other, but do this gently, paying heed to alignment.
It hooks onto the mower’s rear end by lifting the spring loaded hinged flap.
Because of the flexibility in the handle assembly design and necessary economical construction used, means that there is quite a bit of twisting, lifting and lowering of the metal handle pieces and moving around of folded flex to it’s resting position.
Ditto for reassembly.
It gets easier with practice.
The replaceable cutting blade, has a simple nut assembly beneath and cuts grass right up to the edges, due to the recessed wheel design.
I chose this model because of the four on/off switches built into the handle.
Those on the left work in unison depending upon which one is selected; the same for the right hand side, i.e. they work as pairs.
They are all kept powered on when the handle’s central red button is depressed.
Select any switch thereafter to switch off.
The handle may be held by the hands either horizontally or vertically; ideal for the smaller person, elderly or those with dexterity issues.
The rear roller beneath the lawnmower, whilst effective on longer straight lawns, loses it’s benefit on the smaller lawn that requires more twisting and turning when being mowed.
Consequently the roller reduces manoueuvrability (UK spelling) slightly on a smaller lawn.
This is a very efficient mower giving excellent finished results, including gathering moss to allow the lawn to recover it’s best appearance; ask my neighbour.
Was looking for a reasonably priced electric mower and this Bosch slightly bigger and at least 40 cheaper than mymeigh our paid 4 yrs ago. Only downside was the lack of instructions. The book supplied was poorly illustrated – I still cannot find what is the space saving feature. No comparison with the result from my previous petrol mower with roller but easy enough to use and is satisfactory for one medium sized lawn an light enough to move. Also purchased separate 3 Yr warranty at reasonable price through Amazon.
Good lawnmower but not a patch on the discontinued Rotak 40
I bought this mower to replace my trusty Rotak 40 which, after 6 years oif sterling service, had burned out the motor after hitting a hidden piece of metal. It was well priced at Amazon and delivered the day after I ordered it via Prime.
Unfortunately, the assembly instructions were for another, previous model but, having assembled my Rotak 40 before, I managed to assemble this model on my own without any problems. The collector box is a bit flimsy and I suspect, will be problematic unless I treat it gently. The attachment points where the basket attaches to the mower are particularly weak. Furthermore, this model does not collect clippings as well as my previous mower but I can live with that.
Overall, I am slightly disappointed with this mower compared to the Rotak 40 but it’s still way better than my previous Flymo hovers.
I really like this mower and am very happy with the purchase. It folds away neatly which is handy for the garage. It gave a very good cut and left nice stripes in the grass. The collector bin as other have mentioned is very thin and a bit flimsy, so I’m worried the plastic clips might break sooner.
Plastic lawnmower but works well
Very easy to put together and use, does a great job on my larger lawn. Wheels have fallen off several times and basket not very robust but cheap and cheerful lightweight mowe
A lawnmower providing a quick effective cut.
This mower has a few little niggles such as the uncomfortable handle design and difficulty sliding the grass box back on. But importantly you get a quick even cut with little mess unlike rotary mowers.
Well worth the money
This Bosch is much better than my previous one, especially it cuts grass along the edge. Most importantly its suction power is so strong that almost no mess left on the lawn after cutting. Just clean and neat that I like very much!
Petrol alternative.
My trusted Petrol mower recently passed away, so I chose an electric instead. Apart from the annoying power cable aways being in the wrong spot, it’s working fine. Light, easy to set up and no more trips to the Service Station to fill Jerry Cans. I miss my old mower, but if I don’t chop through the cable, I should get use to it..
Best mower eve
Ive had hover mowers for years but I thought time for a change. Lovely idea to cut grass right to the edge, saves strimming and keeps it neat. I collect the grass for my compost, and for just a quick trim I leave the box off in my smaller front garden, and collect in the back garden. This model was pre owned I bought it “as new” saved at least 40 and I can say its superb.
An OK Rotak
Fiddly to assemble (I needed to watch a youtube video a few times) and not really lightweight when it comes to storing it away.
However the four cutting heights easily swung it for me.
Great produc
Despite some of previous comments this lawnmower went together easily no tools required in 20 minute’s on my own. Instructions are easy to follow and everything fitted perfectly with no gap’s. Very well manufactured would recommend
I’m delighted I bought this. Before I had an electric lawnmower which had no wheels. It’s rolled over the grass and it was a disaster tbh. Took forever to cut my grass. But this is brilliant. Everything you want from electric lawnmower. So fast to cut, very long lead, easy to set up and use, great height when fully extend (which is a big plus for me).
I went for it because it had the most reviews. Always go by reviews btw lol. I’ll update my review in a few weeks/months to let you know how it’s holding up.
10/10. So far, so good !
Perfect for a medium sized garde
Bought this to replace our previous Bosch mower . It’s a little bigger than the other one and I do find it harder to push. That said it makes a quick job of mowing the lawn.
Nice cu
This gives a lovely cut but can bog down a bit in longer grass (my own fault) can be a little hard to push in damp grass and would be nice to have more gathering capacity but I’m to cheap to get the bigger model.
Superb mower for the price
This is a fantastic mower
Cuts beautifully all the time
Does not ‘skin head’ the grass, moreover, cuts to look like a Wimbledon tennis court
Love the stripes it creates in the grass also
beautifully made, but then it is German.
Once registered you get (at the time of writing) a three year guarantee
Absolutely love i
DECENT CUT.
The mower gives a decent cut but there are some issues, the grass box seems to be a bit flimsy and the air vents allow to much grass to pass through, the other issue is where the handle attaches to the mower with quick release handles that leaves too much movement, apart from that it’s not a bad mower for the price.
A reliable and effective solution for achieving a well-groomed lawn.
This Bosch Rotak has a compact design and is lightweight and user-friendly. With a powerful motor, adjustable cutting heights, and a generous grass box, this lawnmower offers both convenience and performance.
It has good power which easily cuts wet grass as long as its not really long. Of course you have the cord to deal with and have a limited range compared to cordless alternatives.
Overall, the Bosch Rotak 34R Electric Lawnmower stands as a reliable and effective solution for achieving a well-groomed lawn.
I would recommend it!
Little beas
This is a little beast, really amazed with the power and efficiency. A bit hard to assemble, needs to be careful with the plastic parts, it can be easily damaged.
Efficient and Compact - Perfect for Small Gardens!
Rating: (5/5)
The lawnmower I purchased for my small garden has proven to be a fantastic investment. Its compact size and efficient design make it an ideal choice for maintaining a smaller outdoor space.
This lawnmower is lightweight and easy to maneuver, allowing me to navigate tight corners and tricky spots effortlessly. Its cutting power is impressive, providing a clean and even trim every time. I appreciate the adjustable cutting height, which lets me customize the lawn’s appearance to my liking.
One standout feature is its low noise level. I can mow my lawn without disturbing neighbors or causing too much noise pollution. The ease of starting the mower and its minimal maintenance requirements are added bonuses.
Storage is a breeze due to its compact design. It doesn’t take up much space in my shed, making it convenient to stow away when not in use.
Overall, this lawnmower is a perfect fit for small gardens. Its efficiency, ease of use, and compact size have made lawn maintenance a breeze. If you have a limited outdoor space, I highly recommend considering this lawnmower for a hassle-free and enjoyable gardening experience.
Large lawn on a slope results in increased moss on the lower section. Bosch mower manages to deal with grass and moss effectively without hacking the lawn. There are a number of height settings to choose from. As an OAP, it did take me a whole afternoon to assemble it and a neighbour kindly checked and tweaked a fitting but got there in the end. It does a good job, stripes included.
I suppose if I was picky, 10m cord is a bit shorter than needed and the grass box isn’t heavy duty but does the job.
The mower itself is easy to assemble right out of the box and despite it’s size is lightweight to carry. The height adjustment is easy to operate and the handles provide options based on how you prefer to push the thing.
Fairly quiet, much quieter than my flymo and the edge brushes get you right close to your borders.
Smooth cut,, nice stripes and picks up the cuttings impressively with very little left behind.
My grass has reacted well to it’s first cut and has grown back straight and strong after years of hover mower abuse :).
Storage is great with a double folding handle and self stacking grass box. Very happy and a good price with next day delivery.
The assembly instructions are poor so I utilized a YouTube video. Nothing whatsoever included about how to fold down and store. The mower itself is light and works well. Grass collection box comes across as flimsy but appears to do the job, good length lead.
Had a Bosch Rotak for years and loved it, but the bracket which held the hand bar on snapped eventually ( a replacement part was not available so I mended it with tape and gave it away ). Stupidly decided to buy a similar sized Mountfield mower ( it was a little less money) as a replacement. It was dreadful, the spring holding the lid/grass box down sheered off on its third use, the electrical plug fell out of the machine constantly and it was cheap and plasticky! ( You get what you pay for)! Oh yes, and the Mountfield customer service was non existent. I bit the bullet, chucked the Mountfield and bought another Bosch Rotakusing it is like being with an old friend! Brilliant if you want a reliable light weight little mower.
The only reason for 4 out of 5 stars is the flimsy grass box on the back.
Apart from that, it does exactly what I need.
‘Cuts the grass’
It creates nice stripes and is very good at cutting longish grass.
I just wish the lead was a little longer and the grass box was more sturdy.
Apart from that, would recommend anyone needed a lower end budget / good make lawn mowe
I don’t know why some people have said the instructions are hard to follow, but I as a 55 year old women found them easy, but perhaps it’s because they’ve now added a separate addendum with clear visual instructions in the placement of what goes where.
This lawnmower is far better than my old Flymo Easy Glide 360, as although it served its purpose, it used to be a little inconsistent with the cut, when it got heavy from the grass cuttings in the collection box. It also used to make the grass fly everywhere and collected under the box, which was annoying. This comparable Bosch lawnmower is actually easier to push, quicker in mowing the lawn and has an extremely neat consistent cut (lowest setting).
I, like others think the box could be better made, in regards to the gap adjoining the top and bottom at the front, but it doesn’t seem to affect the functionality of collecting all of the grass.
Once you register your Bosch lawnmower, it comes with a 3 year warranty, which in this day and age is better than a bog standard 1 year, on most goods.
It’s early days but very happy so far.
To assemble the mower I suggest you go on U tube as the assembly instructions with the mower are poor. No wording or warnings only diagrams. It took me three times the time it should have taken to assemble. Getting up and down with arthritis |I could have done without the problems.
First of all you have to work out how to get the back wheels out of the the together grass box. Then attach the wheels shown on the diagram to the mower. Unless you are superman this is impossible. You have to put the mower on its side using two hands on the wheel and press down with full body weight to achieve this!
I was afraid to use so much force in case I damaged the mower! But the was no alternative!
If you are not careful attaching the handle as I did, screwing the handle in the upright position and not in the downward position then trying to fold down the handle snaps it off.
If you fully tighten the first screw on the remaining handle then the other screw 2 will not catch. I found not fully tightening screw 1 enabled it to catch.
As for the Mower I got it in the sale and is good value for money. On a medium size garden it cuts long grass with not too much effort with five grass box emptying’s. The grass box handle did come off when I twisted the box once. The box is easy to remove and empty.
My last 3 Lawnmowers have all been Bosch. I have bought Bosch because they have lasted longer than other makes I have bought in the past. However this model, which is only an updated version of my previous model, seems so much more flimsy than the previous models. The grass box took me ages to put together and in fact I had to put some tape at the ends to help secure it. So not so impressed as I have been in the past and it will be interesting to see how long this one will last.
Good quality and reliable
Bought this as my current cordless mower was going through batteries and at the price of replacement batteries I could by a new corded mower!
Easy to construct but the fitment of the handle is difficult, location nuts are not long enough so had to use my own.
Product worked well and easy to assembel
The mower works well and is quite sturdy. I seem to have a cable guide that does not appear in the assembly instructions and is a nuisance when the mower is collapsed. Otherwise cuts well and re4tains the grass in the box.
Great for small/medium lawns
Much better than hoover mowers. In its 3rd year of use now, so I’m happy
Value for Money
Great item. Easy to assemble. The first cut was excellent.
Perfect for a small law
Easy to assemble and very light weight.
I had one for years but the red trigger broke. Purchased a new one as the mower has always been decent. Would recommend for small lawns.
Does the job
Refurb without much of a manual which made assembly challenging. Compared to its predecessor which outlasted a decade it feels a tiny bit flimsy in the on/off controls but otherwise same as previous and does the business.

Reliable
I had a Bosch mower for many years which always cut the grass low including my multitude of daisies. This new one gives a consistent cut but not as low so many of my daisies survive which doesn’t give as good a look.
It`s a Bosch
This is replacing my old Bosch slightly smaller but a good price, it went together with no problems the grass basket is a little squeegee but I can live with it, arrived on time and in good condition a good seller. I don`t know because it`s new but it’s very quiet.
Great Product!
Have had a few Bosch products over the years, and they first place I look when I need anything replaced of their product range. Always very reliable and well made products!
Light weight and easy to use.
This arrived on time and was easy to assemble. Being of a certain age, I wanted something light, maneuverable and reasonably priced. This fits the bill on all counts. Three different cutting heights – again easy to select. Would recommend.
Brilliant little mowe
Absolutely fantastic mower. Does a great cut even leaves beautiful stripes and lightly rolls as well.
Fair enough the box feels a bit flimsy but once fitted onto mower does the job very well also box large so less emptying.
Fairly easy to assemble if you read instructions.
Overall great performance on long and wet grass.
I will be recommending
Excelle
Really great lawnmower.
Easy to use, we cut at the shortest setting and it’s a lovely job with it. It’s sturdy and feels like it will last.
It can be a bit awkward to turn so I tend to lift it and turn. Otherwise really great.

great mowe
Looked around at mowers for a while and then decided on another Bosch, last one I had 11 years and my daughter has it now. Thought at first it was a little flimsy especially the cuttings basket but all works well. Glad i chose Bosch agai
Cuts well but takes some getting use to
Attaching the handles are a bit fiddly and attaching the wheels are not quite straightforward. I’m a 5ft7 person and I found the lawnmower a little too long to manoeuvre, I had to be careful when turning the lawnmower around when cutting the grass as not to fall off the edge of my front garden. It cuts very well and isn’t very loud when operating. The grass box is very flimsy and the black handle on the grass box comes off very easy when emptying out the grass, so you have to put one underneath so it doesn’t fall out of your hand.
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.
Excelle
Delighted with this lawnmower. I purchased the 34R as it was cheaper that the 32R I’d intended to buy. I was able to assemble it without assistance though did watch a video first. Seems really robust and cuts well. It doesn’t cut quite as close to the edge as I’d hoped but I’ve never had a lawnmower that could. Very pleased.
Read the instructions for assembly.
I fell into the trap of not noticing the instructions for assembling the handles. Put the receiving bolts backwards at first.
I understood that the mower would cut up to the edge. Previous mover left a wide strip of uncut grass. Though that was behind me with this mower. While the strip is not as wide, it still leaves a strip of uncut grass( I have a raised stone edging around the lawn. The cut is quite sharp.
Great mover. Not fun to fold down.
Great mover, it cuts well and so lightweight to move and pack away. I mulch my lawn so I’ve never used the box. Love how easy it is to change the cut height. Not a very noisy mover either.
Con (compared to my old Roybi mover):
A bit of a pain to fold the handle down, but it does work.
The handles for me are a bit slippy but if you use garden gloves then it’s fine. I do love the on trigger position choices.

cuts ok
found easy to assemble, cuts ok as required, height adjustment handle above front wheel howeverI found that it was very stiff to flex against the plastic and in the long run when it gets older may snap off, as at flex point is on 2 thin strips of plastic. when turning around handle was to long and awkward when pushing handle from side ie when close to wall you dont always want to be behind it when turning
will this last as long as my previous rotak 34 14 yrs
we must all wait and see
Good value for money with lots of features but a budget mowe
As I’ve said on the headline, its good value for money with ease of use, good features and a reasonable cut, but I suppose I’ve been use to a big Honda petrol mower and you can’t compare the two. My trouble is I tried to use this Bosch mower on a big lawn. I’m sure it will be fine for a moderate size, but the restriction on the length of the cord was a real bind.
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.
Lightweight with a fine cut.
The mower is pretty easy to put together. The instructions aren’t so good but you have the picture on the box to refer to at the same time. The product is lightweight as advertised and when cutting gave nice stripes to the grass. The handles also give a range of options for pushing and everything makes the job as easy as it can be without a driving motor. I also think the edge function is great. My grass is only 10m x 10m. I woudn’t want a smaller mower than this. Not so great is the flimsiness of the grass box. I’m not sure how long that will last. I also wish the cord was longer (but that is the same on most products now). Altogether this mower was great value for money. No issues with delivery or damage.
It certainly makes grass shorter, although I notice I need to cut again in a few weeks.
It’s very difficult cutting the moss off the roof. If the wheels were rubber and not plastic, I could stay on the roof longer before slipping off.
Because it’s so quiet, you must remove guinea pigs before cutting, they / he didn’t hear me mowing. Alice is over it now but she doesn’t want me doing the garden any more.
Does the job well
It’s powerful and cuts well and indeed is lightweight. It is a swine to put together. Find the video on line because instructions are just pictures. The grass box is the worst bit to assemble but once up and running it’s neat and a good mowe

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.

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.

Solid quality produc
Excellent value for money. Comes with 5 different height settings. Although the lower setting could be lower, the quality of the cut it provides for its price is second to none.
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.
Does the job
Like the extra handles on the side bars, makes the job easier. Cuts grass splendidly. Used it on high and low height. Can handle some tangled wild growth. Nice finish.
Grea
Very easy to use and does the job perfect even with high grass
Decent all rounde
Good cutter ! Easy to manoeuvre,but only disappointment is small capacity grass box.
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.
