Cuts and collects grass fine (while it lives)
Bad Points
Lightweight motor housing fragile and inadequate.
Bad value for money.
General Comments
I bought A Qualcast Easi-Trak 320 32cm Electric Rotary Lawn Mower on the strength of 25 years of outstanding service from a basic bottom-of-the range Qualcast Rotamo. The old machine was still going strong when it was retired in favour of one with a grass collector. The new mower only lasted three seasons on a pocket handkerchief piece of lawn before the motor died. The top bearing and brushes housing is a very thin plastic moulding and simply collapsed. Replacement moter £55 plus labour! This product is now marketed both as a Bosch or a Qualcast Easi-Trak 320.

I found this review somewhat helpful because...it shows different experiences with the machine.My easi trak is 7 years old & has died through worn motor brushes.Qualcast don't do them,so I must bin it.How environmental is that.But,7 years for 50 quid is ok. Ron
