Bosch Rotak 32R Electric Rotary Lawnmower - Ideal for Small and Mid-sized Gardens, 32cm Cutting Width, Grass Comb, Powerful 1200W Motor, 31-Litre Grass Box

Product Information

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.

There’s not really a lot to say about assembly, other than ………it’s simple! It should take you no longer than about 10 minutes to take this out of the box and then put it together. I say “to put together” but all you actually need to do is fasten the handles on using a screwdriver, then clip on the grass box. The catch phrase “simples” comes to mind here. Bosch Rotak 32 Review – Performance The light weight, small size and fold away handles make this mower excellent for smaller lawns or lawns with smaller strips of grass. Also the power system is completely electric so it produces zero emissions and works extremely quietly. Which is quieter? Well there’s not much between them but I would say the Bosch Rotak is slightly quieter due to the “Low-noise design” that Bosch claim makes their mower barely audible from 10m.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.

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! You have the option to cut from anywhere between 30mm to 60mm with 3 separate cutting lengths. Just make sure you don’t set it at the shortest setting from the when the lawn has significant growth, instead start at a higher setting and gradually work your way down. This gives the areas of small grass to catch up with the long, resulting in a more even garden. Before we look at the batteries on this mower, it’s important to know that Bosch lead the way with lithium ion battery technology and continue that development to this day. 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. The tool is equipped with special grass combs that allow you to cut close to the edges and safely get around walls, pathways and flowerbeds for a tidy finish.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.

To give you some guidance on which type of customer would suit this model best, below I’ve listed the categories they would fall under:Overall this is an excellent mower, due to its light weight, portability, good build quality and array of features. Top Tip: You get a 2 year warranty with your new mower as standard, but you can upgrade that to 3 years for free if you register it with Bosch after purchasing. 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. You can rest assured that you’re in good hands when using the Bosch Rotak 32R to maintain your lawn. 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.

Now, 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. 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. You can easily manoeuvre through tight and difficult spaces, as the Rotak is quite easy to handle and lightweight, not to mention compact. This Bosch battery mower is fine for normal conditions, dry and lawns that are not out of control. I would always advice cutting the lawn regularly to get the most from a battery powered mower in this class. 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.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. A fully charged battery can mow up to 300m² or around 30 minutes run time depending on length and condition of the lawn. Again, this outperforms the Flymo at 250m², well done Bosch. Like a stripey lawn? Well the Bosch Rotak 32 LI does come with an Integrated Rear Roller for a lovely stripey lawn.
