As an entry-level mower, the Rotak 34R is designed with ease of use in mind. Bosch has been quite successful in making this mower easy to use, no matter how much mowing experience you have. The grass box does not have an indicator level like many other collection boxes on comparable lawn mowers do. There are bigger and more powerful lawn mowers out there but unless you are a professional gardener or have an extremely large lawn, the Bosch Rotak 34R should be more than suitable for your needs. The height adjustment feature on the Bosch Rotak 34R is very easy to use and can be operated with just one hand.

The Bosch Rotak 34 comes with a grass box that can be fitted to the body of the mower. This grass box has a capacity of 40 litres which is the perfect size for a small to medium sized lawn. Since it is constructed of molded plastic, you will not feel overburdened with the grass box attached to the mower. This grass box is extremely light and you will not sacrifice mobility and speed by having it attached to the mower. In addition to being light a efficient, the grass box is easy to attach and remove. Emptying the grass clippings from it could not be any easier as well. Never overthink grass collection again when you use the Bosch Rotak 34R. All in all, we really like it but before we go into the detail as to why, let’s see what’s in the box.This plastic design is mostly a problem when it comes to the grass box. The grass box feels a bit flimsy, and can break over time. This normally occurs after the plastic is exposed to the elements for a few years, resulting in it becoming brittle, and then isn’t handled with care – for example when re-attaching it on the first mow of the year. Adjusting the cutting height between the 5 included settings is easy, and can be done without turning the mower over, which is great. There’s a simple lever you can move to raise or lower the blade between 20 to 70mm, depending on how high you want to cut. There’s an electric start – no need to pull a cord to get it going. Once it’s on, all you need to do is squeeze the safety trigger on the handle to activate the mower. Most lawn mowers these days come with a height adjustment that allows you to vary the length of cut. The Bosch Rotak 34R is no exception with 5 different options starting from 20mm right up to 70 mm using a lever mounted on the front. Bosch is a leader in delivering practical solutions that are not only smartly designed, but comfortable to use too. The handle on the Bosch Rotak 34 lawn mower provides the operator with a comfortable grip that will limit hand cramping and user fatigue.

Now we’re going to discuss the potential deal breakers; the most common cons cited when it comes to this mower. You’ll need to figure out whether you can learn to live with them. It’s easy to use, has a relatively powerful motor, and offers a good-quality cut. It also has a few other nice-to-have features, such as the rear roller and grass comb, which are surprising to find on a mower at this price point. The range of available cutting heights, between 20 to 70mm, is also really good. You also only get a fairly simple handle design. On some of their more expensive lawn mowers, Bosch includes what they call “Ergoflex” handles, which come with a 90-degree part, to allow for more comfortable mowing.watt electric motor which is more than enough to deliver the power you need for easy mowing, even if the grass on your lawn is a bit dense.

Sadly there is no mulching plug on the Bosch Rotak 34R. You have to collect your clippings in the included grass box.This Bosch Rotak 34 mower does not have the ability to mulch grass clippings like many other models at a similar price point do. The 34R also includes a rear roller for mowing stripes, and grass combs to help you mow the very edges of your lawn. The main ergonomic issue with this mower is the handle trigger design. As you can see in the photo, the safety trigger is on the right-hand side. On most more expensive mowers, there are switches on the handle at both sides, allowing you to activate the mower with either hand. But with the Bosch, you’ll need to use your right hand exclusively. About BoschSince the humble beginnings in Stuttgart, 1886, when Robert Bosch formed his own business manufacturing electronic components, the ‘Workshop for Precision Mechanics and Electrical Engineering' has become one of the biggest and best known manufacturers of domestic and industrial electrical products in the world. The willingness to improve on established designs started almost immediately and it is this ethos that has kept Bosch GmbH and Bosch lawnmowers ahead of their rivals ever since. This innovation is quite apparent in the present range of Bosch lawnmowers and garden products that include tools no other garden machinery manufacturer produces. Some, but not all electric lawnmowers include a rear roller to give your lawn that professional striped finish. If this is important to you, then make sure your next electric lawnmower includes this feature.

Easy to Fire Up – You probably still have nightmares about that second hand petrol mower you bought off your grandad’s neighbour a few years ago.

Well you’ll think you’re in heaven when you take this one out for a spin on the green stuff. It’s so, so simple. You just push in the red button and pull the trigger towards you and you’re done.The ergonomics of this mower could be better. However, this isn’t a massive issue for most people. Since this mower is designed for small to medium sized lawns, you most likely won’t be using it for extended periods. Therefore the design of the handle isn’t such a big issue.
