The handles are quite different to most mowers, featuring a vertical design that allows for a firmer grip, making it even easier to navigate the mower while maintaining proper posture. This all combines to ensure safe and comfortable operation as you mow the lawn, avoiding potential issues like fatigue and aches developing in your hands and wrists. As is standard, the mower comes with a grass collection box, with an impressive 40L capacity. This should be more than enough for all your clippings, saving the hassle of stopping to empty before you are finished mowing. In the centre of the handrail, there is a dead man’s button. This button must be depressed for the controller to start using the throttle. When the throttle is completely released, the button pops out and must be re-pressed for the controller to start using again. This safety feature is standard across most electric lawn mowers and ensures that the mower cannot be started accidentally. When comparing against the cordless models under the Bosch brand, the price level here is considerably less so there are lots of savings to be made. The Rotak 36 R features a 1350W electric motor that produces high cutting speed and power. As with all Rotak models, the mower uses an innovative PowerDrive system, which is technology unique to Bosch mowers that provide the motor with increased torque for efficient mowing in all conditions.

The motor and cutting width make the Rotak 36 R suitable for mid-size lawns up to 300m2, meaning it can also function well on slightly larger lawns. Be mindful of using it on anything beyond the 300m2 recommendation, as the 10m cable and 36cm cutting width make it work best on medium size lawns. Cutting Width Some operators find that even with the large grass box, it fills up fast. This could be in part because the Bosch Rotak 36 R does such a good job of collecting all the grass clippings. Practicalities Greetings once again and many thanks for taking the time to visit this brief Bosch Rotak 36 Corded Lawnmower review which will outline everything you need to be aware of before you make any buying decisions. As mentioned, the mower comes with a 36cm cutting width, which is ideal for working on medium size lawns. It removes huge swathes of the lawn with one pass, providing you aren’t working on lawns larger than 300m2 – anything bigger and you’ll want a wider cutting blade to reduce mowing time. The first thing I noticed about the Bosch Rotak 36’s construction is that it’s reasonably lightweight for such a durable product — something that’s rare to find at this price point.

There are several orientations of controlling the mower to choose from. The controller can choose to either hold on and throttle in the horizontal position or they can take advantage of the Ergoflex bars, which are vertically mounted. It is not self propelled which means extra work and strain if you have steep hills or slopes to deal with Featuring unique grass combs, you can precisely cut around walls and flower beds with ease, making it perfect for maintaining medium-sized lawns. With six different cutting heights, no matter the length of your grass, this mower can be customised to suit your needs, even under difficult cutting conditions.

Many competitor mowers in this size range struggle to hit such impressive speeds, highlighting why Bosch mowers remain some of the best selling products in the country. This is a powerful mower that will not struggle to cut through damper grass, making it a great choice for your average user that may not mow frequently. The motor provides a no load cutting speed of 3600rpms. This is some exceptional speed, especially for a compact and lightweight model such as this, providing a quality cut on lawns of varying condition, including those that are more overgrown and less maintained. Make light work of this once arduous job with this easy-to-use lawnmower. Boasting an innovative debris collection system, thanks to improved airflow, and a generous 40L grass collection box you can minimise the time it takes as you won’t have to continually empty the box as you go. Plus, this lawnmower is set up with ergonomic handles, multiple hand positions and smooth rubber wheels, for easy handling, so that your hands and wrists won’t tire out. Features and Benefits

For storing, there is a double swing-arm on the handrail for the mower to fold-over on itself. The grass box is designed to split and function as a cover for the machine. Another great storage saving feature from Bosch. Safety Features on the Bosch Rotak 36 R Weighing in at just 12 kilograms, it’s a lawnmower clearly built for easy manoeuvring.
