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

Perfect for my small lawn, it's lightweight and a breeze to use. So simple that trimming the lawn is a joy and not a mission!! Does the job and packs away in a small space. Very happy and would recommend!

UPDATE: After much use this summer already, only one flaw to note with this mower...occasionally the height adjustment mechanism/bar one of the rear wheels (both do it) will pop out of position and drop a notch...lowering the mowing height on that side. Not positive what causes it, but suspect bumpy ground combined with the grass catcher box getting full/heavier. Bosch definitely need to tighten up those springs, or implement a different height adjustment mechanism.Prior to purchasing I read several reviews that assembly was difficult, the grass catcher didn't fit, etc. I found neither to be the case. True, the assembly instructions are poor/non-existent, however, there's only a very few pieces to put together, and by looking at the picture on the box one can easily assemble the mower in about 10 minutes. The grass catcher box simply snaps together with tabs-and-slots, pretty easy.Once assembled the mower works like a champ. The attached cord is plenty long, and when combined with an extension I can reach my entire back and front garden from a single plug. The grass catcher works great, in fact I like it much better than previous bag catchers I've used over the years. Due to the smaller size of the deck I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for someone with a large garden of say a half acre or such, but for smaller to medium gardens, it fits the bill great.The best part...no filling with gas or running out and having to refill a hot mower, no checking the oil, no having to change sparks plugs or get tune-ups, no engine coughing or dying, no exhaust, and so much quieter. The smaller deck size means it takes a little longer to mow, but it also makes the mower light enough that I can literally mow the entire garden using only one arm...using the other to ensure the cord is held away. And it cuts great/even, is 3x height adjustable, and even being so small has tackled some taller grass well...just may need a couple passes. Very glad I purchased this mower...

Great lightweight mower, but still sturdy and is so much easier to use than a Flymo. Bought for my mum, who has struggled with a heavier mower.

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!
