BOSCH 06008A6273 Rotak 36 R Electric Rotary Lawn Mower, Cutting Width 36 cm

Approximately 15 Kg. in weight, is light for a lawnmower, which folds down roughly into a square shape, for minimal storage space.Mainly of a plastic construction, allowing for the less weight, is robust enough for periodic use.The 10 metre long electric flex, coloured orange for safety and rubber plug, is sufficient for the smaller garden or medium sized one, perhaps requiring an extension lead.Always use an RCD circuit breaker, widely available.There is a red lever for easy grass height selection (2cm-7cm.)The lawnmower requires initial assembly per the instruction booklet (could be improved), yet is fairly straight forward.The is no explanation/depiction, how to fold the lawnmower with the grass box after use.After a little trial and error, I found out how to, which is easy/simple to remember (split the grass box into two.)The plastic grass box two halves are clipped together, one on top of the other, but do this gently, paying heed to alignment.It hooks onto the mower's rear end by lifting the spring loaded hinged flap.Because of the flexibility in the handle assembly design and necessary economical construction used, means that there is quite a bit of twisting, lifting and lowering of the metal handle pieces and moving around of folded flex to it's resting position.Ditto for reassembly.It gets easier with practice.The replaceable cutting blade, has a simple nut assembly beneath and cuts grass right up to the edges, due to the recessed wheel design.I chose this model because of the four on/off switches built into the handle.Those on the left work in unison depending upon which one is selected; the same for the right hand side, i.e. they work as pairs.They are all kept powered on when the handle's central red button is depressed.Select any switch thereafter to switch off.The handle may be held by the hands either horizontally or vertically; ideal for the smaller person, elderly or those with dexterity issues.The rear roller beneath the lawnmower, whilst effective on longer straight lawns, loses it's benefit on the smaller lawn that requires more twisting and turning when being mowed.Consequently the roller reduces manoueuvrability (UK spelling) slightly on a smaller lawn.This is a very efficient mower giving excellent finished results, including gathering moss to allow the lawn to recover it's best appearance; ask my neighbour.

Was looking for a reasonably priced electric mower and this Bosch slightly bigger and at least £40 cheaper than mymeigh our paid 4 yrs ago. Only downside was the lack of instructions. The book supplied was poorly illustrated - I still cannot find what is the space saving feature. No comparison with the result from my previous petrol mower with roller but easy enough to use and is satisfactory for one medium sized lawn an light enough to move. Also purchased separate 3 Yr warranty at reasonable price through Amazon.

I suppose if I was picky, 10m cord is a bit shorter than needed and the grass box isn't heavy duty but does the job.The mower itself is easy to assemble right out of the box and despite it's size is lightweight to carry. The height adjustment is easy to operate and the handles provide options based on how you prefer to push the thing.Fairly quiet, much quieter than my flymo and the edge brushes get you right close to your borders.Smooth cut,, nice stripes and picks up the cuttings impressively with very little left behind.My grass has reacted well to it's first cut and has grown back straight and strong after years of hover mower abuse :).Storage is great with a double folding handle and self stacking grass box. Very happy and a good price with next day delivery.

After reading some of the poor reviews for the Bosch lawnmowers I was undecided on this or a S and j lawn mower, I decided to stay with this mower. Next Day delivery from Amazon. The box arrived in perfect condition, all the parts were sealed in the box with all paperwork from Bosch. Only took a short while to assemble and the mower seems very sturdy in my opinion. The grass box went together easy, unsure if I will fold up with every use tbh. Great cut, and prefer these handles to use, very pleased for the money paid, my machine had manufacturer date of 01/2024

Quality powerful motor. Sturdy height adjustment.The system for folding flat for storage was flimsy & almost impossible to use. Square holes were not cut deep enough. Will have to store in “ready to use” position.Cable could have been 5m longer.
