As with all smaller cordless lawn mowers the grass box is not going to hold as much as its larger counterparts, however 31 litres is comparable to other mowers of this size. 31 litres allows longer periods of use without needing to empty grass clippings as often. What makes the Bosch Rotak 32 LI stand out from its competitors is the ability to charge the battery to 80% capacity in just 45 minutes. Believe me this is a great feature that provides outstanding convenience to the average gardener. 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.

This Bosch battery mower is fine for normal conditions, dry and lawns that are not out of control. I would always advice cutting the lawn regularly to get the most from a battery powered mower in this class. More information on quality can be found in this old but still very helpful article from Harvard Business Review. If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands. That way when you come to the point where you’re comparing product options you can filter to only show the products from brands in your list.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. Also the power system is completely electric so it produces zero emissions and works extremely quietly. Which is quieter? Well there’s not much between them but I would say the Bosch Rotak is slightly quieter due to the “Low-noise design” that Bosch claim makes their mower barely audible from 10m. As you can imagine, pricing is one of the most important factors of any purchasing decision. We can find the perfect product for our needs, that fits the brief in every single way. But if it doesn’t fit our budgets, we simply can’t (or at least shouldn’t) buy it.

The next step was to try and narrow down our search even more. So we’ve already looked the prices of products in the Lawnmowers category. Then we’ve also looked at the prices of products from Bosch. So this step combines the two and looks specifically at the price you’d expect to pay for Bosch branded products in the Lawnmowers category. 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. Like many cordless lawn mowers, the Bosch Rotak 32 LI is powered by a Lithium-ion battery (36V) and electrical motor which will charge in around 90-100 minutes. The battery is removed from the mower for charging and storage.The extra features like the removable safety key is a nice touch, but one that you will most probably never use. Besides, you want features that will help you achieve a lovely looking lawn with least the amount of work and effort. Price is another really important factor for analysing the quality of Bosch Rotak 32-12 32cm Corded Rotary Lawnmower vs other products in the Lawnmowers category. It’s obvious, but you will need to set your expectations of quality based on your budget and the price of the product you’re looking at, against the price of alternatives. The Rotak 32 lawnmower is quite powerful and user-friendly and is ideal for small and medium sized gardens of up to 150m². As mentioned above this Bosch has combs on either side that guide the grass into the path of the blades, meaning you really are getting the full 32cm cutting diameter. These combs reduce the amount of trimming around the edges when the mowing is done.

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. 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 Bosch Rotak 32 LI is equipped with one 32cm metal mower blade that provides two effective benefits…

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 A fully charged battery can mow up to 300m² or around 30 minutes run time depending on length and condition of the lawn. Again, this outperforms the Flymo at 250m², well done Bosch. The Rotak 32 comes with a 31 litre box that’s easy to empty and a powerful and sharp 32cm blade that cuts the grass with precision and ease. Only 3 height settings. This is a shame as most of the Bosch’s competitors have at least 5 height adjustments.The Bosch Rotak 32 LI includes features such as a 32cm blade, three cutting heights, a charge time of 90 minutes and a free run time of 30 minutes. The Bosch 32 LI cordless lawn mower weighs just 10.2 kg and covers a lawn reaching up to 300 metres squared and is supplied with a 31 litre grass box. This cordless mower comes with both a 36V, 2.0Ah lithium-ion battery and charger. The battery, which has three charge indicator lights, is fully charged in 70 minutes and its run time is the equivalent of cutting a short, 6cm, dry lawn of up to 150m2 or an 8cm dry lawn up to 100m2. However,this does depend on lawn conditions, density, moisture content and length as well as height of cut and this capacity can also be increased by purchasing a higher capacity Ah battery from Bosch. It’s also worth noting that the battery and charger can be used with the other cordless tools in Bosch's 36V Power For All range, and could save you money if you were to buy their hedge trimmer, leaf blower or grass trimmer. 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. You can rest assured that you’re in good hands when using the Bosch Rotak 32R to maintain your lawn.
