    5 Stars Lightweight marvel - a joy to use 24/06/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reliable,efficient, wide cut (46cm), large funnelled grassbox, lightweight

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cable - you have to be very aware where it is!

    As a middle aged lady seeking to replace an ageing petrol mower with something lighter and faster, I have been thrilled with this excellent machine. The basic machine is made of heavy duty plastic type material, and whilst this seemed rather "cheap" after the metal mower I had before, I love the resulting lightness. It glides over the lawn, but the roller does give a nice striped effect and the grass combs certainly do pull in stray tufts from the edges and those that grow against fences or other boundaries. The large 50L grass box means you do not have to keep emptying, and it is shaped with ... more

    2 Stars Disappointing Bosch 15/06/2008
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Large cutting capacity

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Noise, Noise & More Noise

    Just bought as a replacement for a 12 year old Wolf mower whose motor died. Have a few Bosch products which are all satisfactory and had read a couple of positive reviews for this model. What I like is the wide cutting width, 6cm bigger, and the large (50 lt) grass box - a bit less walking . Alo the switch, being across the full width of the handle makes it easy to control. What I'm not sure about are the combs, bit gimicky probably, and the suction. My old mower vacuumed the grass, the blade was designed as a propellor, the Bosch removes the cut grass but not all the leaves, etc, that fall ... more

    3 Stars Quick review of Bosch Rotak 40 by scouseclaret 24/09/2008
    Bought about 2 years ago. Initial delighted with it - much faster and easier to use than my previous Qualcast cylinder mower, and good stripes to boot! Unfortunately, the mechanism that adjusts the height has just broken and having searched the web it doesn't look as though it can be replaced. I know its not hugely expensive but surely it should last more than 2 years??? Also, the handle came off the grass bin soon after I bought it - not a serious problem, but it tends to bear out those who refer to its cheap, plasticky build quality. Will miss ... more

    4 Stars Quick review of Bosch Rotak 40 by gollygosh 12/09/2007
    Very happy - only used it for one cut so far - on-off bar better than smaller Bosch models which use handle as can be used left handed. Collecting part effective, can be packed full and holds a lot and machine not too heavy to lift over steps

    5 Stars Bosch Rotak 40 17/10/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to assemble, good cut

    Disadvantages Disadvantages a little heavy but to be expected for a large mower

    I recently purchased one of these mowers for my Husband as our new house has a 100ft lawn. He is delighted with the cut he gets from this mower. The mower is easy to assemble and takes less than 5 minutes to clip together. Once up and running the motor sounds like a futuristic aeroplane - it sounds so good!! The adjuster lever is on the top of the mower and adjusts by sliding forward and backwards. Very easy. The big cuttings bucket at the rear holds about 1/4 of our lawn so it is plenty big enough. The power cable is long but we did need an extension to allow for our graden's length. I would ... more
