There is also a fill level indicator on the grass box that indicates when the grass box needs to be emptied. Only 3 height settings. This is a shame as most of the Bosch’s competitors have at least 5 height adjustments.

This mower is built in the UK. Why does this matter? Well, customer service, warranty, quality and the availability of spare parts are second to none. Below I’ll be detailing all the features and functions of the Bosch Rotak 32 LI Ergo-Flex, both good and not so good and then comparing to the Flymo Mighti-Mo 300 so you understand exactly what you’re getting for your money. Main Features About BoschSince the humble beginnings in Stuttgart, 1886, when Robert Bosch formed his own business manufacturing electronic components, the ‘Workshop for Precision Mechanics and Electrical Engineering' has become one of the biggest and best known manufacturers of domestic and industrial electrical products in the world. The willingness to improve on established designs started almost immediately and it is this ethos that has kept Bosch GmbH and Bosch lawnmowers ahead of their rivals ever since. This innovation is quite apparent in the present range of Bosch lawnmowers and garden products that include tools no other garden machinery manufacturer produces. What sets this mower out above the rest is the incredible performance in collecting 99% of the grass clippings. Does this make it better than the Flymo? Yes, not only the Flymo but almost all of the mowers I have tested. The Bosch Rotak 32 LI will not disappoint when it comes to collecting and emptying the grass clippings. There’s not really a lot to say about assembly, other than ………it’s simple! It should take you no longer than about 10 minutes to take this out of the box and then put it together. I say “to put together” but all you actually need to do is fasten the handles on using a screwdriver, then clip on the grass box. The catch phrase “simples” comes to mind here. Bosch Rotak 32 Review – PerformanceWell firstly, we're pretty good at what we do. In fact, we'd class ourselves as experts. With more than 60 years experience supplying lawnmowers to both home users and professionals, we know what we're talking about. We pride ourselves on our high levels of customer service and we're happy to provide help and support throughout the process, from your initial decision making to after sales, servicing, repairs and spare parts. The service we're offering is a complete one, and unlike some other companies, we are specialists. The Rotak 32 lawnmower is quite powerful and user-friendly and is ideal for small and medium sized gardens of up to 150m².

Overall this is a light, durable and well manufactured machine that will keep my lawns in shape without any headache. – Mr Phil What’s the Downside…? Normally I would complain that levers mounted on the front of a mower are always more difficult to adjust than those mounted more centrally, however the design of the height adjustment lever on the Bosch Rotak seems to work very well. Bosch have managed to mount the lever out of the way in the front but still allow for the height to be adjusted centrally, very nice! The Bosch Rotak 32 LI Ergo-Flex Cordless lawn mower is quite easily the most feature rich, high quality model currently on the market.Grass Box– The grass box does seem a little flimsy to be honest with you, but hey, it does the job. The capacity is only 31 litres but the mower is only designed for small lawns so that’s why you get a small capacity box. What I really like about the Bosch Rotak 32 LI is the addition of a removable safety key that disables the lawn mower to help prevent accidental starting. This is a nice feature, not always found on similar cordless mowers, that provides peace of mind around children. The only possible downside for some users was the fact that it took them a while to assemble it, but once everything was finished they were very pleased with the end result and the effectiveness of the product. The great thing about these mowers is that you can set out to work at any time you want without annoying your family or your neighbours whilst the zero emissions look after the environment as well.

The Bosch Rotak 32R lawnmower is a powerful electric lawnmower that effortlessly cuts grass and gives your garden an impressive look, all thanks to its powerful 1200-watt motor and its 32cm blade width. Many of them also mentioned the fact that the lawnmower is pretty easy to manoeuvre and is perfect for tight and not very accessible spots. You can easily manoeuvre through tight and difficult spaces, as the Rotak is quite easy to handle and lightweight, not to mention compact. As with most cordless lawn mowers in this class and at this price range, there is no mulching facility with this Bosch mower. They found the cord to be of reasonable length, although if you have a larger garden you may want to use an extension as well.

You have the option to cut from anywhere between 30mm to 60mm with 3 separate cutting lengths. Just make sure you don’t set it at the shortest setting from the when the lawn has significant growth, instead start at a higher setting and gradually work your way down. This gives the areas of small grass to catch up with the long, resulting in a more even garden. This again does not necessarily put it ahead of competitors but it’s good that Bosch have taken advantage of what is clearly the most effective cutting system in the market.

Overall this is an excellent mower, due to its light weight, portability, good build quality and array of features. To give you some guidance on which type of customer would suit this model best, below I’ve listed the categories they would fall under: The cutting diameter of the mower may seem a little on the small size with only a 32cm mowing capability, but that is 2cm larger than its rival the Flymo 300. Now, compared to its other counterparts with widths of up to 43cm, this might be a potential disadvantage; however, it could also be beneficial if it’s to be used in a smaller areas and lawns with more narrow strips. This really will make lawn care much easier and really makes the entire experience much less dependent on you struggling with a heavy over sized mower. Motor– This mower is not built like a powerhouse – but the motor you get is still absolutely top notch. I was pleasantly surprised at how powerful this thing was.

Technical Specifications

The tool is equipped with special grass combs that allow you to cut close to the edges and safely get around walls, pathways and flowerbeds for a tidy finish. Metal blades are generally sharper and provide a cleaner cut to the grass blade resulting in a neater, tidier and superior finish to your lawn and garden. The metal blades on the Bosch Rotak can be sharpened when needed unlike plastic blades. Lots of plastic – this thing is almost made entirely from plastic. So you have to ask yourself, how well do you look after things? If you treat your mowers roughly then durability could be an issue. The Rotak 32 is designed to help you maintain your garden in perfect shape, and is easy for everyone to use, even if it’s their first time using a lawnmower. One person mentioned that the Rotak 32 is so easy to use that although she’s in a wheelchair, she has no problem using it.
