Now I am not someone who spend hours in the garden, but I do like both my front and back gardens to look really nice. 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.

Throttle controls are present on both orientations assisting in one handed operation around obstacles etc. 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.

What Bosch has done is include “Ergoflex” ergonomic handles, made of soft rubber, that point at a 90-degree angle to the actual handle of the lawn mower. Trying to cut tall grass on the lowest setting will almost always clog up the underside of the mower, and especially if the grass is wet. 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.You should still check that this is enough length to reach from the nearest mains outlet, otherwise you might need an extension lead to bridge the distance. This should be more than enough for all your clippings, saving the hassle of stopping to empty before you are finished mowing. If you choose this mower, that is highly recommended in all other aspects, then you are going to need an extension cord for larger gardens. The rear rollers are integrated at the rear of the cutting deck, allowing you to create an attractive striped effect by pulling the mower backwards. 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.

It will also pick up autumn leaves from your lawn and shred them into the grass box for easy disposal. On the whole, it’s not difficult to put this mower together, although the instructions could be more clear. It also uses a secure locking mechanism, ensuring a tight seal between the box and mower, preventing the unwanted escape of grass clippings from undoing all your hard work. The Bosch Rotak 36R Electric Rotary Lawn Mower is packed with great features so that you have everything you need for a tidy garden this summer season.Sure, it’s not got a flashy digital display, but it does offer precision cutting, great manoeuvrability, and a thoughtful design that won’t leave you feeling fatigued. The height Adjustment on this Bosch Rotak 36 R is controlled by a lever mounted at the front of the mower. The blades have a curved edge to lift the grass of the lawn while cutting and to help fan any leaves and grass cuttings into the grass box. Equipped with a powerful 1350w motor and power drive system that delivers consistently high torque, this corded lawnmower boasts optimum cutting performance whether you have long, short or dense grass. I am not a fan of height adjustment levers being located at the front of the mower as normally these are somewhat difficult to adjust, however Bosch have done a great job of linking the front lever to the back wheels making the adjustment smooth and easy.

You should be able to assemble the grass box, attach the handle, and have the mower ready to use after about 15 to 20 minutes. It is designed for lawns up to 300m2, which is a medium size lawn common in many UK households, providing lots of cutting speed and power to handle lawns of varying condition. When the throttle is completely released, the button pops out and must be re-pressed for the controller to start using again.If you want to find out what other mower options are available, then we strongly recommend reading our UK lawnmower guide. 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. 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.
