After much trepidation I opted to buy A Bosch Rotak 34 after my Qualcast cylinder mower expired. The new mower arrived and within ten minutes of opening the box I was mowing. Set on the shortest cut the machine gave as neat and close trim as my old cylinder mower. No "scalping", no digging-in just a nice close cut. I was so impressed I decided to take the mower and tackle a council maintained verge outside my home. This "green" area consisted of dandelions and long scrubby grass. Leaving the machine on the shortest cut setting I zipped over this area taking off "spears" of grass 6"- 7" long in one pass. I would point out that the grass was dry - what is it with this desire to cut wet grass?
All in all, this mower "does what it says on the tin" and if bought at a discount offers excellent value for money.
