ParkerElliott's review of Bosch Rotak 34 Electric Rotary Lawn Mower

“Thin plastic not a patch on old model”

★☆☆☆☆

written by ParkerElliott on 09/08/2016

I bought one in July 2016 having owned an excellent Rotak 34GC for many many years of hard use. The old model was well made, robust,long lasting and efficient. So I made the assumption new one would be a new version to same standard. Wrong! Thin flimsy plastic, does not fit together well, especially grassbox which is poorly connected to the machine. A part fell off (factory fitted part) as I wheeled it out of the shed. The hole where the grass comes out of the machine into the grassbox is only half width of machine, on the old model it was full width so long grass will probably get stuck. Just not man enough unless you have a tiny little flat patch of very regularly cut grass. This gives Bosch a bad name and I will be very wary of their products in future. sad to say this, it was a name I trusted. I had not used it, so got a refund.
