I recently bought the 34cm cutting width Rotak (however it was the model with the 'ergoflex' handles, which is not the model shown here). It cuts my uneaven, funny-shaped lawn beautifully because it is light and maneuverable and cuts edges perfectly. The key aspect for me is the power and torque it puts to its blades so that it cuts well through wet and rough grass - I have included the full technical specification of the range and a video demonstration.

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.

bought a Bosch 34 Mower to replace my broken Hover-Mower. The first thing I noticed when I took it out was the weight! Compared to most lawn mowers it is very light, when putting it together lots of other reviewers said it took a long time. LIE! From the moment I got it out the box to when I turned it on took about 10 minutes, 2 screws put the 2 pieces of the handle toghether and the other 2 to join the whole handle to the mower. When mowing the lawn it took a Hover-Mower 30 minutes whereas it took the Bosch 20! It takes the edges easily but on some places you might need to go over twice. Overall a perfect mower, for £80 from Keen Garderner it is also very good value for money. Chris

Great light lawn mower that cuts beautifully up to the edge... overall I've used mine for 3 months cutting every other week and had no problems.
Only down side was that it was a bit tricky to put together, but managed it in the end.

Bosch Rotak 34 Electric lawn mower
I bought this mower for 69.99 incl del - on sat, arrived today 14/8/09
I previousely used a hover, which was hard work and gave a poor cut.
This is total the oppersite, light, easy to operate, gives and v.good cut.
its hight adjustable so you decide the hight of your grass. the lawn looks totally different, i feel proud of it, i just wished i'd not been a tight sod and bought this years ago.
The motor has an overload facility so you sould not burn the motor out - check the manual for operation, all i can say is that it does what it says on the can, and to a high standard, build quality seem good, but time will tell me that, so far, i've cut both lawns at my house - 20 mins (usually with a hover 1 hour)and gone and done the mother in laws lawns, and that not me, its a pleasure to use !

Bosch Rotak 34 - great product, great price and a great finish. Easy to put together and a bargain at £79 from Homebase!

The Bosch Rotak 34 is the best mower I have ever owned, it cuts through grass knee high. I have just moved house and the garden was overgrown, not a problem for Bosch, highly recomended.

I had Flymos had cylinder mowers before this Bosch Rotak 34 Electric. All been good but all went wrong. Bits hard to get reasons for the Bosch was I could get at any shop and they all do repairs or send them away for repairs.
What more can customers want? I had a Atco costing 350 for two weeks it went wrong and for a repair they wanted postage and 25 for parts now that's pants!
