Excellent results
By Old Den
This Bosch Rotak 34 is the latest of a number of electric rotary mowers I have owned over the past 40 years and it is up there with the best. Out of the box is the mower body, the handle assembly in 3 pieces, the grass box in 2 pieces and the cable.Fitting the handle was easy although I did overlook the step for putting the cable retainer plate under the right hand handle release lever and had to reassemble that. I missed seeing it on the diagram.I've had trouble assembling the grass boxes of many of my past mowers and this was no exception. It requires the alignment of 11 locking tabs on the top section with the equivalent slots in the bottom section and, with the plastic tending to bend a little, this requires a bit of patience. If a tabs is not properly aligned before you apply pressure to lock the tabs in place it is almost impossible to dismantle the box again to resolve the problem. Do it in bright light because you have to peer inside the box to see the alignment.Having assembled everything the only other snag I found was that the cable is not very flexible. It could have been covered with a softer plastic and I foresee problems with kinks when the weather is cold.I had left my grass to grow to about 100 mm before the mower arrived so I was able to try it out with various cutting heights before settling on the one which suits my rather uneven grass. I was delighted with the ease of using the single lever height adjustment after my previous mower which required altering all 4 wheels. It took me some experimentation with the Ergoflex handle before I hit on my most comfortable position which was holding the 2 uprights for straight runs and moving one hand to the horizontal handle for turning - but each to his own. The motor is very powerful, the finished cut is excellent and the grass collection cannot be faulted. With plenty of ventilation along the sides of the grass box the grass is blown right to the back with no spillage. The side combs really do work as well.This mower is certainly worth 5 stars and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Holy Mowly!
By Duncan
Have just done the first cut of the year and this mower has done it in a quarter of the time that our old Flymo would have done it in.Easy to put together. Easy to push. Easy to mow. Easy to clean up after itself too - hardly any of the cut grass has been left on the garden, as opposed to how much the previous mower left...........it used to take as long to clean up after the mow, then it took to do it in the first place.........In fact, so little was being left behind that I walked straight into the kitchen after the mow and didn't find any grass stuck to my trainers - or halfway up my calf.The blade height adjustment is pretty easy to change, but don't lean on the mower while you do it - which I wouldn't have done if I'd read the instructions before doing it!It did cut up to the edges of 95% of the garden - some parts of the borders remained uncut even with me trying a few times - but that has more to do with the flowers/grass border and angle of the grass at the edge that the mower's ability.The hardest thing I found with this mower was putting the grass bucket together - it's a two-piece arrangement that you only have to put together once (just as well really).It packs away reasonably easily too. And there was virtually no mess inside the 'blade chamber' at the end of the mowing.All-in-all I'm really impressed with it.Delivery was within a few days of it's launch, so no complaints there either. :)Oh. And the price was as good as I could find anywhere.

very pleased
By Nikki Soddu
After hours and days of research on-line for a decent midrange mower, I finally decided on this one, so you can imagine my disappointment when I came to purchase and they were out of stock :( luckily I found it on another site, for near enough the same price, but as they don't have a review facility, I thought I might leave my comments on here.I took my time to read all the reviews on-line, and so was aware of the pitfalls of assembly, so armed with this and the instruction book, set about it. I must say found the task rather simple. The grass box I put on the table, got on my kness, and looked into the box to line up all the tabs.I then got to my feet and applied firm even pressure "popping" each one into place one at a time.the handles were just as simple, you can hold one side in place with your knee while fixing the other side together as it isn't heavy.The whole process took me about quarter of an hour.Mower together I took it out to the lumpy front lawn, which is about 4 meter square, and almost as high!!, it had no trouble and glided through and over it with ease.I have raised sleeper borders around the lawn, and it did cut right up to the edge, but due to the hight of the sleepers, it missed the corners,this is a design fault of my garden and NOT the mower.so onto the back lawn which is about 15 meters long and 4 wide, and newly turfed a week and a half ago, so this was to be its first cut. it has done a fantastic job, and as per the title, I am very pleased.It is as light as they claim it to be and really easy to carry from place to placeI have kept its box to store it in the shed, and with the handle folded down and the grass box on top, it just about fits and looks a little neater too.I have never owned, bought or used a mower in my life, so take what you will from this review. I will say though that I would recommend this mower to anyone that will listen
