Bosch Rotak 32R Electric Rotary Lawnmower - Ideal for Small and Mid-sized Gardens, 32cm Cutting Width, Grass Comb, Powerful 1200W Motor, 31-Litre Grass Box

After my old electric lawn mower unceremoniously died due to spectacular electrical failure (sparks, flames, smoke), I was in the market for a new one. The Bosch 32R was recommended by some friends who had bought theirs a couple of years back - they had nothing but kind words for theirs. The other reviewers on Amazon also gave good reviews which confirmed my decision. So - running through a few key points. * Price - good value for money when compared to the others. * Delivery time - as ever with Amazon - delivered on time, on the day specified. * Assembly - OK - this was a bit of a mental exercise. The instructions could have been a little clearer (Bosch - this is your job, and we're not talking simple like furniture - just a bit more detail would have been good), but after getting the parts all laid out, and studying the photos on the box (as well as the instructions) the process itself was simple enough. * Lawn mowing ability. The fact it has metal blades gave immediately good results and I'm expecting the good results to continue over a longer period of time than plastic blades would have. The catcher did a good job. I've not yet tried it on different height settings. My neighbour also borrowed it to cut much longer grass. Again - good results. Of course - it's limited to 30cm of actual cut - so if you've got a lot of lawn - something larger would be required. My lawn measures around 25 square metres - cutting it did not take long. * Other points - it's nice and *light* - which makes pushing it around a breeze, as well as packing it away after the lawn is done. * Conclusion - great mower. Easy to use. Mowing the lawn is a joy again :) (been a while since I've been able to say that!) * 8/10.

Well its a good product and does what it says in the description. However the instruction manual, whilst full of helpful cautions does not include assembly instructions. So, you get all the bits out of the box and with your post-Covid brain fog, go through the pack twice looking for an exploded diagram.....nada, its not there! However, there aren't many bits and doesn't take long to figure where there rough positions ought to be from the picture on the box. In order to prevent dis-assembly down the line, I suggest that you slide the inner sleeves of the red bits intended to help store the power lead over the push arm tubes before you try and mount the outer posts over them....otherwise they wont go on. Yes a bit of a pain but don't let my moan put you off. Once assembled it does a great job on a small lawn. I like the metal cutting blade, much better than the plastic thingies on my Hover mower that it replaces. Oh, and out of the box its comes set in scalp mode so you might want to adjust the front wheels to a higher level of cut for your first mow of Spring! Grass box collects well, keep an ear out and empty when the mower sounds funny! A nice light product and balances well from the carry handle in the middle.

Have been using over 2 years now and is still working fine. It may look a bit cheap on the outside because of the plasticity but it is in fact of good quality and good price. Would definitely recommend. Con: The plastic handle of the grass collection box isn’t strong enough and keeps falling off, so I eventually gave up using it. It doesn’t really affect the lawn mower, though. I would still give it a five star.

Having struggled on last summer with my old Flymo I decided enough was enough and treated myself to this Bosch. Money is tight so I was a little concerned that at this price my new mower would not be up to the job - I needn't have worried. First off I'll give you some context; I have an illness which, amongst other things, can give me symptoms similar to ME so mowing the lawn is not a job I relish. Added to that I have about an 80' square garden of which about a 3rd is full of lumps, bumps, dips and slopes and is mostly what I call "meadow grass" that grows 10 times faster than lawn grass. This same area gets very little sun and only dries out properly after 6 weeks of drought! So you get the picture - it's, for me, seriously hard work. Not any more! This little dream machine has dealt effortlessly with the first cut of this year, on long, very wet in places grass and weeds. It is so light and easy to manoeuvre and the only time it let this horrible meadow grass get the better of it and became a little clogged round the blade was when the grass box was full. The Flymo had to be unclogged every 30 secs on the first cut with an empty box! The roller leaves beautiful stripes, and it really does cut right to the fence edges making a strimmer virtually redundant. The only thing I would put on a wish list to make this machine totally perfect would be a longer lead (even with a 20 metre extension I only just reach the farthest corners). Others have said they feel the grass box is too small; it is smaller than my old Flymo but a larger box would require the machine to be heavier in order for it to not tip it backwards when full so for me smaller is just fine thank you. To address a couple of the other criticisms made, firstly regarding putting it together. I'm a 50+ female with very few brain cells and had no difficulty. Yes, the instructions could be clearer but personally I had no problems. The grass box pieces clipped together easily and once this is done it doesn't feel that flimsy - certainly for the amount of grass it's expected to carry. Again, sturdier would mean more weight so for me this is a plus point. Secondly the cutting height which is adjusted underneath. I did find this a bit awkward initially, however I would opt for this over the "tabs" on the side method as on the Flymo. It seems to me to be a much stronger and more sensible design. With the tabs method if the plastic casing warps slightly (as mine had) the tabs don't stay in place. Plus when the tabs catch on something and snap off (again, as mine had!) you have no way of raising it at all. The bottom line is this is an extremely reasonably priced mower and I don't think you could beat it on Value for Money. It's done my garden in literally half the time it took my much larger Flymo so I'm a very happy bunny!
