Product Information

Power Cable– You get a power cable with this model too. It’s actually attached to the mower, so there’s no way of removing it to store it separately. Its 10m long which is sufficient for any small garden, although if you needed more cable then you could just use an extension. They found the cord to be of reasonable length, although if you have a larger garden you may want to use an extension as well. Lots of plastic – this thing is almost made entirely from plastic. So you have to ask yourself, how well do you look after things? If you treat your mowers roughly then durability could be an issue.

This mower is built in the UK. Why does this matter? Well, customer service, warranty, quality and the availability of spare parts are second to none. As I mentioned before, the Rotak 32 is perfect for small and mid-sized gardens and its compact design allows you to cut your grass with precision, providing you with impeccable results and a nice-looking lawn.The grass box on the Bosch Rotak 32 LI is very well engineered and is extremely easy to remove, the grass clippings empty from the box with no obstructions. The great thing about these mowers is that you can set out to work at any time you want without annoying your family or your neighbours whilst the zero emissions look after the environment as well. Maneuverability –The light weight means the mower is so, so maneuverable when you’re mowing. Corners are a breeze and pushing this thing will definitely not tire you out. Fact! This again does not necessarily put it ahead of competitors but it’s good that Bosch have taken advantage of what is clearly the most effective cutting system in the market. The only possible downside for some users was the fact that it took them a while to assemble it, but once everything was finished they were very pleased with the end result and the effectiveness of the product.

You can easily manoeuvre through tight and difficult spaces, as the Rotak is quite easy to handle and lightweight, not to mention compact. The Bosch Rotak 32 LI includes features such as a 32cm blade, three cutting heights, a charge time of 90 minutes and a free run time of 30 minutes. The Bosch 32 LI cordless lawn mower weighs just 10.2 kg and covers a lawn reaching up to 300 metres squared and is supplied with a 31 litre grass box. The light weight, small size and fold away handles make this mower excellent for smaller lawns or lawns with smaller strips of grass. The charge to mow time ratio is really very good for a cordless mower at this price point. Ideally you will choose a mower that has enough run time to mow your entire lawn or lawns, but this mower allows you to have a tea break, recharge the battery in 45min and then continue. If your lawn is less than 300m² then this is not going to be an issue or a feature you will use, but with a 45 min charge time (to 80%) this mower is still an option for larger lawns. Below I’ll be detailing all the features and functions of the Bosch Rotak 32 LI Ergo-Flex, both good and not so good and then comparing to the Flymo Mighti-Mo 300 so you understand exactly what you’re getting for your money. Main FeaturesNow, 90 minutes is in itself very respectable when you compare it to the almost 2 hours charge time for its rival the Flymo Mighti-Mo 300. The Bosch Rotak 32R lawnmower is a powerful electric lawnmower that effortlessly cuts grass and gives your garden an impressive look, all thanks to its powerful 1200-watt motor and its 32cm blade width. This mower does come with a built in comb that helps prevent scalping your lawn if the setting is a little too low or there is an uneven patch. This is a nice touch not found on other mowers in this class. The comb also helps to ensure you get a good cut right up to the edge along flower beds, fences and walls.

The cutting diameter of the mower may seem a little on the small size with only a 32cm mowing capability, but that is 2cm larger than its rival the Flymo 300. Now, compared to its other counterparts with widths of up to 43cm, this might be a potential disadvantage; however, it could also be beneficial if it’s to be used in a smaller areas and lawns with more narrow strips. With this mower you’re getting features normally found in high priced mowers, so this is very reasonably priced. Well firstly, we're pretty good at what we do. In fact, we'd class ourselves as experts. With more than 60 years experience supplying lawnmowers to both home users and professionals, we know what we're talking about. We pride ourselves on our high levels of customer service and we're happy to provide help and support throughout the process, from your initial decision making to after sales, servicing, repairs and spare parts. The service we're offering is a complete one, and unlike some other companies, we are specialists. Like many cordless lawn mowers, the Bosch Rotak 32 LI is powered by a Lithium-ion battery (36V) and electrical motor which will charge in around 90-100 minutes. The battery is removed from the mower for charging and storage.The Bosch Rotak 32 LI is equipped with one 32cm metal mower blade that provides two effective benefits…

There is also a fill level indicator on the grass box that indicates when the grass box needs to be emptied. One person mentioned that the Rotak 32 is so easy to use that although she’s in a wheelchair, she has no problem using it. Does this make it more practical compared to the closest competition? Well, yes I think it does for people with smaller lawns and limited space for storage. There is also a very handy and well positioned central handle that makes carrying the almost 10 kg mower to the garage or shed nice and easy. This cordless mower comes with both a 36V, 2.0Ah lithium-ion battery and charger. The battery, which has three charge indicator lights, is fully charged in 70 minutes and its run time is the equivalent of cutting a short, 6cm, dry lawn of up to 150m2 or an 8cm dry lawn up to 100m2. However,this does depend on lawn conditions, density, moisture content and length as well as height of cut and this capacity can also be increased by purchasing a higher capacity Ah battery from Bosch. It’s also worth noting that the battery and charger can be used with the other cordless tools in Bosch's 36V Power For All range, and could save you money if you were to buy their hedge trimmer, leaf blower or grass trimmer. What makes the Bosch Rotak 32 LI stand out from its competitors is the ability to charge the battery to 80% capacity in just 45 minutes. Believe me this is a great feature that provides outstanding convenience to the average gardener.The extra features like the removable safety key is a nice touch, but one that you will most probably never use. Besides, you want features that will help you achieve a lovely looking lawn with least the amount of work and effort. As with most cordless lawn mowers in this class and at this price range, there is no mulching facility with this Bosch mower. The Bosch Rotak 32 LI also has a feature they call “Efficient Energy Management” that Bosch claim will extend operational time by up to 15%. This system adjusts the power delivered to the rotary blade to conserve power when not needed. Again a nice feature on a mower in this range.
