Product Information

For instance, if you haven’t had a chance to mow recently and the grass is longer, you will want to use a higher blade position to ensure you don’t remove too much grass at once. This helps to avoid issues like scalping while providing the best conditions for healthy regrowth, meaning greener grass with fewer weeds and bare patches.

While it doesn’t feature ergonomically designed handles like other Bosch models, the mower remains easy to use, mainly because it is so light. It would be nice for ergonomic handles but we doubt many users will feel they need them, especially considering that the more basic design helps keep the price down. 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. 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. The Bosch Rotak 34R lawn mower is one of the best electric lawnmowers on the market today in the UK. It offers stupendous value for money and is so easy to operate. This particular model is slightly larger than the Bosch Rotak 32R as it has a 34 cm cutting width instead of a 32 cm one. Features:is a suitable width for narrower gardens too, so if you are working in confined spaces or have an irregular shaped lawn that requires more complex manoeuvring, the narrower width should accommodate you fine. Being a corded model means that the motor requires mains power to operate, with a 10m cable included with the lawnmower. This lets you move the mower around without your movements being restricted, and most UK lawns are close enough to the property that 10m of cable should offer all the reach you need – simply use an extension cord if you are finding its movements too restrictive. Cutting Width

It features a 34cm cutting diameter, and a 40L grass collection box – there is no mulching function with this lawn mower. It’s powered by a 1300 watt motor, which plugs into the mains electricity supply via a 10m power cable. Because it can mow tougher lawns with relative ease, the Rotak 34R is a good choice of mower for a hands-off gardener. Many people don’t have the time or desire to mow their lawn several times a week – lots even struggle to do it weekly!

You don’t get a massive amount of functionality with this mower. There’s no mulching plug for example. However, it does have a lot of nice features, such as the grass comb and cutting height adjustment lever. Bosch has included grass combs on this mower – they’re the orange parts you’ll notice on the sides of the mower, near the blades. These grass combs help you neatly trim the edges of your lawn without having to use a strimmer. They’re a nice thing to have, especially if you’re fed up of struggling to cut the edges of your grass. Really Cuts – This is why you’re really here, reading this Bosch Rotak 34R Review; you want to know whether it really cuts, right? Well you’ll be glad to learn that most consumers are more than happy with the performance of this mower. It’s a mower that makes grass cutting easy and accessible for anyone given its attributes (lightweight, easy to carry etc), and it’s really more than capable of dealing with regular lawn maintenance, and is a worthy ally for those occasions when you miss a few weeks and the grass grows a little longer than the norm. As long as you don’t push it and expect it to deal with an overgrown mess, you should be fine. Many consumers mention good result on wet grass too.

As one of the lighter Bosch corded mowers at 11.1kg, the Rotak 34 R offers excellent usability. Manoeuvring it across the lawn requires little effort, ensuring you can mow for longer periods without feeling fatigued or achy – this makes an excellent choice for anyone that struggles to move heavier objects. The height adjustment feature on the Bosch Rotak 34R is very easy to use and can be operated with just one hand. Since the mower is quite light, it’s easy to manoeuvre. Even if you have limited strength, it’s still possible to push this mower easily – the wheels are very good quality. Do note though that the 34R is not self-propelled– you will have to do the pushing yourself. This isn’t normally a problem, given how light this mower is, however it can be difficult to use the 34R on steep slopes.The hardened, ground steel blade has a cut width of 34 cm, and there are 6 cut height settings to choose from, ranging between 10 and 70 mm. The large 40 L grass box should enable you to cut the grass in one go without stopping to empty.

Also, five cutting heights is on the higher side for electric mowers. Many only offer three settings, so having more range is certainly a bonus! Ergonomics 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. This mower is still limited to small lawns though, due to its size. We wouldn’t use it for anything larger than 300 square metres – otherwise you’ll be mowing all day. MulchingFirst things first, we’re going to start off by pointing out the things that consumers feel the Bosch Rotak 34 electric mower does well. The best lawn mowers give a good range of cutting heights and the Rotak 34R delivers on this front. Providing an impressive five cutting heights ranging from 20-70mm, you have plenty of cutting heights to suit the different seasons of the year. 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. It may be difficult to tell the difference between Bosch petrol lawnmowers and Bosch electric lawnmowers. Bosch electric lawnmowers are much stronger and last for much longer that comparable electric lawnmowers from other competing companies. Even if you have a large lawn, a Bosch electric lawnmower can definitely handle it. There is no need to splurge on a petrol powered lawnmower for your large garden or yard when you have the option of buying a Bosch electric lawnmower as well. They are more environmentally friendly, easier to operate, and require much less maintenance than a petrol powered lawnmower.
