Rating: - Lawn mowing IS a pleasure with this mower
Bosch Rotak 40 Electric Rotary Lawn Mower Bought this after reading other reviews on this site. Like others I bought this from a nationwide store because I had gift vouchers for there.
I agree with the other good reviews on this product. I had (still have but will not use again!) a petrol rotary (that did a good job if I had someone handy to start it for me) and a Flymo hover rotary.
As a slight female using this mower on both my small, smooth patch and my daughter's large and lumpy play 'field' I can say that I love this mower!! Even my teenage grandaughter was willing to help (with close supervision of course). Yes the height adjuster is wierd but once you get the hang of it, it's fine.
With all the rain lately I have been unable to get the grass cut often enough. This mower just romped through the uneven long mess and left a good cut. A second mow a week later left it looking great and with no effort at all. It's got a good area of cutting with each pass and the stripe left by the roller makes it easy to see where you're up to. I like to leave the length quite long and this mower has a good height range so making it easier when the grass has got out of hand.
This mower is also light enough for me to lift and put away myself. The upper part of the handle can be loosened with the large handle wing nuts and bolts that stay in place because of a natty spacer on the shank of the bolt that stops the nut going to end of the shank and falling apart. The handle then folds over making it fairly compact.
I would recommend this product to any one. Hope it's reliable long term!

Brilliant mower. We have a tiered garden, and not very perfect lawns (football player in the family) but with this mower they are looking as good as they ever will. Tackled our long, wet grass with ease, and was light enough to push up the 6' banks without straining. Excellent.

How rare these days to actually purchase a product that does exactly what it is meant to. Quite simply marvelous. Easy to put together(ladies if my husband can do it anyone can...he isnt very savvy in that area). The first electric mower I have ever had that works when grass is damp...hell who am I kidding it was wet. Lightweight, minimal effort required and before I had got going, it was done. Well done Bosch, now if you could just sort out your strimmers I'd be a happy girl.

The mower seems very light compared to my old flymo. Time will tell if light means flimsy but Bosch has a good name and I have many Bosch products. My biggest complaint is that even though it is sold as a mower for a medium sized garden it only comes with a puny 15m of mains cable.
Rating: - Fabulous - buy it !
We have never enjoyed mowing the lawn. Usually it gets left and left and then becomes so long that it is a nightmare (I know, we create the problem by leaving it). So today it was an option of strimming it first and then cutting it with our existing lawnmower which is 10 years old and can't cope with long grass, or taking the plunge and buying this one that I have been looking at for the past few weeks.
So I bought it, put it together without difficulty in about 10 minutes, and off I went.
Simply fabulous. Our grass was in places at least 20cm long and it just sailed through - in fact Bosch claim it will cope with 30cm grass. Our lawn is also pretty uneven and on an incline which didn't faze the mower at all. The grassbox is a good size (appears a little flimsy but it did the job without problem so I'll have to trust in the design I guess), and the whole job took 40 minutes instead of about 90 !
Let's hope it lasts as long as our Bosch washing machine, which is in its 12th year without hitch (touch wood !)
Definitely recommended.
