Bosch UniversalRotak 36- 550 = No battery or charger or 1 x 4.0Ah battery and charger – lawn up to 550m² As with any lawn mower if the cord becomes damaged, it is recommended to replace the cable with one of similar size and strength from Bosch and not a cheaper third party replacement.

Main Features There is no mulching as standard on this machine, but it does have something called leaf collect. Leaf Collect, means that the blades cut and collect dead leaves from across your lawn. The suction from the blades will then send the leaves to the cutting box with the grass. Again you can see this in action from my video above.Thanks for taking your time to read our review on the Bosch Universal Rotak 550 electric lawnmower.

I would also recommend that you have a look at the Cordless Gtech mower 2.0, if you don’t mind mowing away from Bosch, that is currently on offer with 40% off. (this is the biggest discount Gtech have ever offered)I also tested the almost identical but slightly larger Bosch UniversalRotak 650. In my video review, I found that both the 550 and 650 models have some key upgrades that make them excellent choices for medium to large lawns. Cutting and grass collection is improved. Bosch has also made environmental and durability enhancements. This is a spring-loaded mechanism on the Bosch UniversalRotak 550 with a height indicator.

The Bosch UniversalRotak 550 does have an integrated rear roller for a stripy lawn appearance. Grass Box Capacity There is a safety button in the centre of the control handle that must be depressed before the operator may use the machine. This is standard with most electric lawn mowers.

Furthermore, provided that you register your machine, you will get a three-year warranty. There isn’t a lot that could go wrong with the mower, it’s pretty low maintenance and practically runs itself. But in the event that something did run amok, you’ve got the confidence that it’ll be repaired or replaced. The Bosch Universal Rotak 36-550 is altogether more convenient than comparable petrol or electrical driven lawn mowers. Simply pop the battery in and you’re set to go. It could not be simpler or easier! The 36v lithium-ion battery takes just 125 minutes to charge but can be charged to 80% in just 96 minutes.

There has been a lot of thought and innovation in the creation of the handles on this mower and as such, you get a very comfortable experience. With ErgoFlex, the handle features four adjustment switches that allow you to position it in a way that feels good for you. Their expertise is very apparent in their present range of lawn mowers and garden tools as it includes products, which no other garden machinery manufacturer produces. The Rotak electric and cordless lawn mowers demonstrate the company's willingness to innovate with features like grass combs that enable you to mow right up to the lawn's edge and rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that have virtually no weakened performance after extended use.

In terms of the warranty Gtech offer 2 years on the mower and battery. If you are looking for an excellent 5 year warranty you may also want to consider the EGO range, link below to my review and video. I have tested one of these recently and it was excellent but costly.
