I bought this Rotak 40 Lawn Mower having read other reviews, which were mostly very good. Also the reliability of the Bosch name encouraged me to make the purchase! Assembling the lawn mower was not too difficult even for a DIY disaster area like me, by the way the blade is really sharp ouch!!! Guess what it does cut lawns neatly and efficiently. It is incredibly easy to operate and even the height adjuster is not a problem as with other peoples reviews! Also removing grass cuttings from the collection box is again easy. I previously owned a number of Flymo products and certainly prefer this Bosch make to them.
I bought this mower to replace a much cheaper mower which was nearing its 'sell by date'. The blade needed replacing, it didn't always cut cleanly, so I went for an upgrade instead. This is the first Bosch I have owned, and the first thing that struck me was the obvious quality of the product. The cut height is easy to adjust, and it mows evenly and cleanly and doesn't pull the grass. Definately a 'Cut above the rest' I'd say, I'm more than pleased with it. There really is no comparison to my old mower which did the job but, I wouldn't rush out to buy another. I hope the Bosch lasts a long time, I would, however, buy another Bosch, if only for the product quality. You really do get what you pay for with Bosch - Quality.
For years I have only used a Hover Style Mower, but decided the time had come to use one with wheels due to age. I should have done this years ago. It has good points & bad points but the good points out way the bad. My lawn is not a bowling green lawn and is on a slope. Pushing this mower even on the flat can sometimes be hard going, and you have to pull it backwards and then proceed forwards again, going uphill can be quite hard going, but going across the slope is far easier than using the hover mower as it had a tendency to want to slide downwards. The wheels on this machine stop that. The cutting time on my lawn has been reduced by half, and it takes up much more cuttings than the old Hover Mower. Given the choice between the two I would highly recommend this machine, and have no plans to go back to the old machine. Spare blades are easy enough to get, and reasonably priced as well.Read full review
