The actual mower though, including the blade and the motor, is very durable. You don’t have to worry about the cut quality reducing over time. The blade is also easy to sharpen, and replacements are readily available if you plan to keep this mower for the long term. If you have a small to medium sized yard, then you will get a tremendous amount of use out of an electric lawnmower. Electric lawnmowers decrease in performance as their battery charge decreases, so this means that they are best used to cut a small amount of grass in a fast amount of time. Terrain Type The price of this mower is quite good. It might not be the cheapest 34cm mower you can buy, but it’s definitely not expensive.

There’s an electric start – no need to pull a cord to get it going. Once it’s on, all you need to do is squeeze the safety trigger on the handle to activate the mower. Now we’re going to discuss the potential deal breakers; the most common cons cited when it comes to this mower. You’ll need to figure out whether you can learn to live with them. It features a 34cm cutting diameter, and a 40L grass collection box – there is no mulching function with this lawn mower. It’s powered by a 1300 watt motor, which plugs into the mains electricity supply via a 10m power cable. The Bosch Rotak 34R is a small, lightweight, corded electric rotary mower, designed for small gardens.The main ergonomic issue with this mower is the handle trigger design. As you can see in the photo, the safety trigger is on the right-hand side. On most more expensive mowers, there are switches on the handle at both sides, allowing you to activate the mower with either hand. But with the Bosch, you’ll need to use your right hand exclusively.

Since the mower is quite light, it’s easy to manoeuvre. Even if you have limited strength, it’s still possible to push this mower easily – the wheels are very good quality. Do note though that the 34R is not self-propelled– you will have to do the pushing yourself. This isn’t normally a problem, given how light this mower is, however it can be difficult to use the 34R on steep slopes. Relatively Easy Assembly – It’s not as easy as pulling it out of the box and you’re ready to go; there is a little bit of work required on your part. But it shouldn’t be too difficult for you either, especially if you’ve assembled a few garden tools in the past. You’ll need to connect the handle and put together the grass basket. The latter task is the one that most people seems to struggle with, as the basket does feel a bit flimsy (on the plus side that does mean the mower overall is lighter) and might take you a few attempts to clip together.Easy to Fire Up – You probably still have nightmares about that second hand petrol mower you bought off your grandad’s neighbour a few years ago. About the fact that you practically dislocated your shoulder every time your wife said “I think it’s about time you cut the grass” because it was just so hard to start. Well you’ll think you’re in heaven when you take this one out for a spin on the green stuff. It’s so, so simple. You just push in the red button and pull the trigger towards you and you’re done. Bosch has been a trusted name in the home appliance and power tool industry for years, and with good reason. They manufacture and sell reliable and efficient products that will last you and your household for a long time. The small size of this mower also makes it more agile. It’s easy to turn in tight spaces, allowing you to do more precise mowing. The Bosch Rotak 34 is powered with a 1300 watt motor and utilises a sharp, durable metal blade for reliable cutting every time. The blade itself is extremely easy to sharpen as well. This mower boasts five different cutting heights from 20 mm to 70 mm so that you can have full control over how your lawn looks after you mow it. The cutting height can be adjusted using a lever mounted on the front of the body of the lawn mower. It is very smooth and easy to operate. In addition to these great features, it also has an integrated rear roller to give your lawn a professional, striped finish. Weighing 11.1 kilograms, the Bosch Rotak 34 R is relatively light and easy to move around your garden. Its sturdy construction and premium materials ensure its longevity and durability. The lawnmower's grass catcher is easy to remove and attach, which makes cleaning up after mowing a breeze.

Bosch has included grass combs on this mower – they’re the orange parts you’ll notice on the sides of the mower, near the blades. These grass combs help you neatly trim the edges of your lawn without having to use a strimmer. They’re a nice thing to have, especially if you’re fed up of struggling to cut the edges of your grass.This mower is still limited to small lawns though, due to its size. We wouldn’t use it for anything larger than 300 square metres – otherwise you’ll be mowing all day. Mulching Bosch is a leader in delivering practical solutions that are not only smartly designed, but comfortable to use too. The handle on the Bosch Rotak 34 lawn mower provides the operator with a comfortable grip that will limit hand cramping and user fatigue. You don’t get a massive amount of functionality with this mower. There’s no mulching plug for example. However, it does have a lot of nice features, such as the grass comb and cutting height adjustment lever. Storage Less Efficient than it Should Be – The handles on the Bosch Rotak 34 R are supposed to fold down to reduce the size of the storage footprint of this mower, which in theory is a handy feature. Especially if you only have a small shed or garage that you keep your garden tools in. However, a lot of consumers complain about the ease of doing this, mainly due to the lower grade screws that are used to fasten the handle in place. As a result quite a few people just end up leaving the handles extended. Also, the 10 metre cable cannot be disconnected from the main body of the unit, and there’s no cable storage feature on the mower. So storage is definitely something Bosch could improve on with the Rotak 34 R. The hardened, ground steel blade has a cut width of 34 cm, and there are 6 cut height settings to choose from, ranging between 10 and 70 mm. The large 40 L grass box should enable you to cut the grass in one go without stopping to empty.

Since all of the parts of this mower are manufactured in the UK, getting replacement parts is extremely easy. The blade on the Bosch Rotak 34 is one piece of metal that will wear more slowly than a plastic blade would. This metal blade also provides a clean cut to each individual grass blade, leaving your lawn looking professionally cut every time. You also only get a fairly simple handle design. On some of their more expensive lawn mowers, Bosch includes what they call “Ergoflex” handles, which come with a 90-degree part, to allow for more comfortable mowing. Some, but not all electric lawnmowers include a rear roller to give your lawn that professional striped finish. If this is important to you, then make sure your next electric lawnmower includes this feature.

Customers rave that this lawn mower is extremely ease to manoeuvre. The front wheels allow you to get into awkward corners for an even, perfect cut every time you use it. If you’re looking for something even cheaper, you would probably have to buy a hover mower, or something with an even smaller cutting width. It may be difficult to tell the difference between Bosch petrol lawnmowers and Bosch electric lawnmowers. Bosch electric lawnmowers are much stronger and last for much longer that comparable electric lawnmowers from other competing companies. Even if you have a large lawn, a Bosch electric lawnmower can definitely handle it. There is no need to splurge on a petrol powered lawnmower for your large garden or yard when you have the option of buying a Bosch electric lawnmower as well. They are more environmentally friendly, easier to operate, and require much less maintenance than a petrol powered lawnmower.
