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.

Everything is as advertised: Excellent mower with 3 heights, cuts edges very well, light and manoeuvrable. I have been using a hover mower but it is heavy to move around. I have a lung condition so I was finding the hover hard work, having to stop often to catch my breath. In comparison, this Bosch on wheels is so easy; lawn mowed and I'm not out of breath. However, just one problem and the reason for my 4 stars. I had trouble attaching the handles to the mower, as the screws were impossible to fit properly. I've not read any other reviews with this complaint, so maybe it's just me, or did they pack the wrong screws? Still, I muddled through it and managed to mow the lawn without any mishap.

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.

Effortless to use, lightweight, and delivers a clean, even cut, perfect for small to medium lawns..

I have struggled with a push and pull mower for a number of years, so I thought it better to buy one that gave more power to the elbow! So pleased I did. The machine arrived in excellent time well packaged and complete with all the necessary parts. Before you go assembling the machine check that everything is complete. Then read the instructions carefully and follow in a systematic way. If you do this you will not have any trouble at all. The only item that requires patience is the assembly of the grass box. I found the setting one portion on the floor and affixing the other the part the easiest way to assemble it. By positioning each lug just resting on the receiving slots and then gently easing them into the slots ensured that they locked into place quite easily. Make sure that you do not secure one lug incorrectly otherwise it will probably be a devil to unlock it, by that I mean the lug is not outside or inside of the box rather than onto the receiving slot. What about the efficiency of the mower. Providing you do not have a huge amount of grass to cut this should be adequate for most lawns. It cuts well right to the edges and does give a stripe effect. The cable holder is a useful addition as it tends to keep the cable itself in tidy state without you constantly tripping over the thing! It light to handle and is reasonably quiet. Although the machine is small in itself by not having a fold down handle it does take up a fair amount of room in the shed. You can undo the securing nuts and store separately, but as I live in the far north of England you are often gald to get out of the rain without having to mess around taking the handles off each time you use it.! Cleaning is easy, and the lawn takes less than 45 mins to cut.

Is good, lightweight, perfect size for my small garden. Was easy to assemble. Only faults are that the wheels like to change position while in use so I have to keep putting them back to get an even cut, and even with my small garden it over heats and cuts out so I have to wait a few minutes for it to cool down to be able to carry on, but for less than £100.00 these sort of this are to be expected I guess. Does the job but could be better.

I bought this as a stand in to my petrol mower as it needs the drive system replaced. I was really surprised at how well this little mower cut the lawns, it’s very light (which is what I required due to mobility issues). The height adjustment is achieved by turning the mower over and pulling the wheel axles to one of the three height locations. The only real problem I had was the fitting of the handle. There are pre-drilled holes in the bottom of the handle where it connects to the mower, however these holes were too small for the supplied screws (maybe I just got a Friday afternoon mower 😂). I eventually got one screw to got through, but the other I had to drill through the handle and “mower handle cup”and fit a nut and bolt. But besides the handle thing, it’s a good, very lightweight, small mower that collects the clippings. It would have been a 5 star if it wasn’t for the handle problem.

Amazing product, been using for a while without issues.
