Further Images are Outlined below:

Main Pros Available:

• No cords to worry about across your lawn as you work – allows more freedom and is safer overall
• The 36V battery gives more power than one would expect – can deal with more than just light duty mowing
• Another big attraction are the inset front wheels and innovative grass combs on the side which make perfect lawn cutting right to the edges with precision
• Provides a single lever height adjustor instead of spacers which is a lot quicker and easier to manage
• Very easy to operate and steer with the comfortable ergoflex system
• Great warranty period of 2 years (longer than Flymo) and can be extended to 3 years if needed by registering online
• Bosch also provide a 5-day repair service if there are any problems that you encounter which is a great backup service
• The grass combs again provide excellent precision for the edges which significantly reduced additional work of strimming or clipping
• Rear rollers are included to give you nice attractive looking stripes after your work is done

Main Cons Outlined:

• The lowest mow height of 3cm will not be low enough to meet everyone’s needs. Other models can go a lot lower than just 3cm (see table below)
• Assembly is not all that difficult but does require a certain small level of skill and attention to detail as it not ready to operate straight from the box
• Has the narrowest mow path in the range so it will take you longer to complete. If time is always against you, then choose a wider model under the brand
• Doesn’t have the ability to mulch which other brands and models can offer depending where you look
• Heavier and thicker taller grass will deplete the battery a lot quicker so overall work time will be reduced
• Additional back up batteries if needed are a lot more expensive than one would think – plus the price of the cordless is significantly higher than the corded models
• Limited mow time is available based on the duration of the charged battery – if the battery runs out during the mowing, it is annoying having to stop and recharge for 90 minutes or so
• Can get clogged up a bit with wet grass so that should be avoided – stick to dry grass where you can

Feedback from the General Public

An overview of feedback from the general public is outlined below:

Selection of Consumer Positive Comments:

1. Perfect without having to use any cables or cords across the garden
2. Very light, easy to work with and to steer in any direction around flower beds and boundaries
3. Did a great job of collecting all the grass cuttings and cutting tight into the borders and edges with the grass combs
4. Assembly plan was easy to follow with good instructions provided
5. Much safer than using the cables or extension cords with the corded mower models

Selection of Consumer Negative Comments:

1. Didn’t have enough power for really thick grasses and tall grasses but it was sufficient
2. The mow path was a lot narrower than what was imagined so extra passes were needed
3. Thought the battery charge would last longer than it did – had to recharge in the middle of the mowing - didn’t completely finish the lawn
4. Didn’t cut as low as expected to give a tighter looking cut
5. Price is a bit steep at the end of the day for a 32cm lawn mower
