Bosch Rotak 34 August 22, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

Mine landed today from Amazon, this is the best mower I've ever owned. Makes my old Flymo look quite shabby. Easy to assemble, light, and will cut any lawn whether long, wet or carpet grass. There's plenty of height adjustment with this mower. I had some pretty wet long grass on the back lawn (about 60cm and laying flat) the Rotak 34 made it a breeze with the very powerful 1400 watt motor. I'd recommend this mower to anyone.

BEST MOWER SO FAR August 2, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful

I would never go back to a flymo, this is so much better, it cuts better than a flymo, cuts close to walls, it is very light compared to a flymo, very easy to use. also with the flymo it would leave cut grass on the pavement that i would have to sweep, this don't so no sweeping, takes third of the time to cut my lawn than with a flymo. it was also quieter than the flymo

the only downside is two things 1, i found the lead harder to cope with than the flymo having to wrap it round the handles, 2, also the lever to adjust your grass length was hard to use.

the best mower, don't go back to a flymo, this saves time and leaves your garden looking better.

I had my heart set on a cylinder mower after my black and decker rotary, and petrol rotary had both packed up. Research and reviews however dissuaded me from the popular Qualcast cylinder, and pointed me in the direction of the Bosch Rotak range. I bought one yesterday and, despite having wet grass, mowed both my lawns. The results were really impressive, with the height adjustment easy, the mower being very light and manoevreable, and the collection box doing exactly what its mean to do. My lawns look great, and I am very happy with my purchase. It really pays to do your research, and my thanks go to all previous reviewers for this, and other products.

Brilliant Mower June 16, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful

Ordered this on a Friday it was delivered early on the following Monday. Cut my wet grass brilliantly, my Qualcast Cobra 32 mower couldn't cope with wet grass and was always clogging up the grass intake to the box. The only snag so far with the Bosch mower was the grassbox. On assembly the handle fell off and on contacting Amazon they refunded part of the price. A joiners clamp and a touch of super glue got the offending handle back on. This is far the best cutting mower I have owned and I've had a few over the years. Lovely striped finish and no clogged grassbox

Does what it says on the box May 18, 2008

I'm fairly pleased with this mower. I've just completely replanted my large front garden and laid a new turf lawn, so I'm a bit out of practice with the chore of regular mowing.

This is a nice light little thing. You just need to attach the bottom handle with the two self tapping metal screws (this is in theory as I still can't find the relevant holes), fix the top hoop of the handle to the bottom bit with some strange plastic orange wingnuts + bolts and clip on two cable ties. Then you need to whack the two halves of the grassbox together (it takes a bit of effort to line up the lugs). The detatchable handle seems fairly useless as you have to remove it to fit the grassbox onto the machine without any gaps- there's no real point in putting it back on just to tip out the grass.

Don't forget to raise the cutting height from ONE to about midway until you're happy with the cutting height) (I managed to scalp a small section of lawn on the default setting). The height adjuster isn't the easiest of things to alter initially- you have to push in one direction and then yank it at 90 degrees until you get the right number setting. Once you've settled on your cutting height that should be the last wrestling match you have with it though. (Review update- it actually seems a lot looser after a few goes but my slightly uneven turf was a little bare when after a few weeks I finally selected level 3).

This version has the little orange fins on each side which are supposed to allow you to cut up right to the edge- as compared to the finless 34C version- hence the price difference.

So I was just after a cheapish mower with some reliability. Lightness helps too when I'm carrying it up and down the steps to the garden. Technically I suppose you should go for the widest mower going in the range- the faster you cut the less electricity you use overall (and the sooner you can be lounging out sipping Pimms?). Still I was impressed at how quickly it finished the job, once I'd set it up and got used to the old cable over the shoulder routine.
