Excellent results,
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.

The best home mower I have ever owned!,
I have had many many mowers over the years from rotary’s to flymo’s. My top of the range flymo broke a few weeks ago so I bought the Bosch Rotak 43 Ergoflex rotary lawnmower. I have used it twice since it arrived on Saturday on tough uneven lawns and it made simple work of it. The Grass collection is amazing and the best I have seen on any mower. The mower has put the best looking lines on the lawn that I have ever been able to achieve. I tend to struggle pushing a mower but this is by far easier to push than any of the flymo’s I have owned in the past. I would recommend this mower to anyone a truly excellent mower.

Effortless,
I’m writing this review less than 24 hours after having ordered this mower from Amazon, and have paused ‘mid-mow’ to do so, so impressed am I with it’s performance. I detest lawnmowing, not least because of the sheer effort involved with my Flymo. In fact, having cut the front lawn yesterday I simply could not face the prospect of doing the back garden also. Which is why after extensive net-research I settled on this model.
The back garden was LONG overdue for a trim (as I say, the previous mower did not encourage!). Having just popped out with the tape-measure I can say that the grass is actually 23cms long! Well it was. The Bosch Rotak 34 Ergoflex Electric Rotary Lawnmower has just powered it’s way through without so much as a hiccup!
It is absurdly easy to manage. Even with my overlong grass the effort involved in pushing the mower through it is scarcely greater than that required to simply push the mower along the patio. At no point have I heard the familiar ‘groan’ the Flymo used to make when required to deal with a tougher section of lawn. It just cuts. And collects. ALL the cuttings. Right up to the edges.
Assembling the machine out of the box is childs play. Just follow the little pictures.
The ‘Ergoflex’ part of its name refers to the redesigned handle (as compared to the previous model) and I find that I am using the protruding handles. Very comfortable, with no effort required to maintain ‘on-switch-pressure’. Additionally, for those operators taller than I (I’m 5′ 8″) there is an option to affix the upper part of the handle further away from the machine. Excellent.
I’ve only had this mower for a few hours, so longevity remains a question. However it does appear to be very robust and I am not anticipating any problems.
Look, if you’re a Bosch fan already you’ll know what to expect, and wont be disappointed I’m sure. If like me you’re fed up with the bovver of a hover and looking for something better, you’ll be over the moon.
