| Features of the Bosch Rotak 43 LI Efficient Energy Management (EEM) EEM increases the run time of the Rotak 43 LI by 10%-20%. The EEM has two functions. Firstly, intelligent cutting electronics maintain the blade rotation at an optimum constant speed; this smoothes out the ‘load’ requirement and saves energy. Secondly, the kinetic energy recovery system harnesses the energy generated by the blade run-down and feeds it back into the mower battery as soon as the motor has been switched off, and with two batteries, you get almost continuous mowing--one battery on the mower, and one on charge. |
 | Cordless freedom Being cordless means none of the hassle of untangling the cable--and damaging flower beds in the process. But most importantly, without a cord, there’s no chance of cutting the cable whilst mowing. The Bosch Rotak 43 LI can be used anywhere away from a power source and, unlike petrol mowers, are free of smell and excessive noise. |
 | Grass combs--mow right up to the edge With inset front wheels, the innovative grass combs on the Rotak 43 LI enable cutting of grass growing close to or over the edge of the lawn. This ensures that no strips of uncut grass are left behind even when cutting around flower beds, walls or paths. |
 | Height of cut adjustment A single lever enables you to quickly and easily change the height of cut from 20 to 70mm for different lawn conditions. |
| Get stripes with the rear roller With the rear roller on the Rotak 43 LI you can gain that professional look and get stripes all over your lawn. Additionally, and importantly, the rear roller offers stability over lawn edges and prevents scalping. |  |
| Lightweight and easy to carry The Rotak 43 LI’s Lithium-ion battery is light, making the mower light as well. At only 13.8kg and with its integrated carry handle, the mower is easy to carry and manoeuvre. And with its fold-down handles, the Rotak 43 LI is easy to store. |  |
| Large grassbox With a large 50 litre rear-fitting grassbox, you won’t have to spend as much time emptying grass cuttings--so more time can be spent gardening. |
| Bosch guarantee The Rotak 43 LI comes with a 2 year parts and labour guarantee and a 1 year guarantee for the battery. |
 | Powered by Bosch Lithium-ion technology The Bosch Rotak 43 LI is powered by a 36 volt/2.6Ah Lithium-ion battery, which means: |
| Lithium-ion battery performance The Bosch Rotak 43 LI’s Lithium-ion batteries’ performance will vary according to the conditions of the grass. If the grass is too wet, too long or covers a large area, this will affect the running time of the batteries, but in ideal conditions where the grass is short, fine and dry, running times could be up to 30 minutes per battery. The Rotak 43 LI’s 36V/2.6Ah Lithium-ion batteries should give 500-700 cycles of life each, which should be anywhere between 5 to 10 years of regular usage. |  |

Our lawn is more like field grass, than garden grass. We're moving somewhere more sensible and bought the Rotak with that in mind. Considering it was an overdue first cut of the year, I have to say the Rotak coped very well. It was however a fair slog to shove through some of the thicker clumps, with battery life suffering when being overworked. Life should be easier now post first-cut, and cordless operation is a joy, but I would still have gone with self-propelled petrol if i was going to have to hack through this in the long term. For any sensible medium sized lawn, the Rotak would be very good, and I suspect its more robust than its slightly flimsy plastic (but lightwieght) construction suggests. I guess its a sign of getting old when you start reviewing lawnmowers...

I originally purchased this mower in March 2009. I was perfectly happy with the quality of my old mower (Hayter) but NOT the tangle of mains lead and mains extension leads that came with it. However I was very disappointed initially with the performance of the BOSCH Rotak 43LI cordless when I first tried it! The depth of cut, even on the lowest setting did not match my old Hayter. After much disappointment I resigned myself to selling it on e-bay. From April it has remained in my garage with me feeling pretty disappointed at its performance. Today I decided to give it one more chance to redeem itself! I searched the internet for various customer reviews whereupon I stumbled across one review which said "to achieve a finer cut remove the plastic blanking plate."
I am usually very good at reading instructions that come with products and must have read the instructions for the Rotak 43LI from cover to cover! However obviously not! Therefore all potential users of this mower take note. To achieve a finer cut - (from 35mm to 20mm) REMOVE THE BLANKING PLATE!
This advice is clearly shown in the instruction manual with a triangle (hazard safety alert) - "The lawnmower may be used to cut down to 20mm by removing the blanking plate 25 as shown" This is easily removed with a screw-driver.
Once I had done this I was able to achieve the results I had previously achieved with my previous lawnmower. As a consequence I am so relieved that I decided to look at other customer reviews before deciding to sell it at a ridiculous low price just to get rid of it..
To summarise.... this product is FAB. The time I spend cutting my grass has easily been reduced by 50%, if not more. Take my advice however and purchase the bigger 43LI model. You will need two batteries for a moderate size garden and as previously advised by other reviews on this product the cost of buying a second battery is over £100. Finally remember to remove the blanking plate if you want a shorter cut...thanks for reading this!

I bought this mower as I am waiting for my petrol mower to be fixed, and thought that it would be handy to have something ever so slightly more reliable than my 20 year old Hayter, which breaks spectacularly every spring without fail. And what a world of difference. I think I will actually sell the petrol mower, as I now have no use for it.
I braced myself for a difficult assembly after reading previous comments, but it was simple, the instructions were clear enough, and it only took about 15 minutes. I popped the battery into the big manly charger at the same time, and took it out for a test on the lawn, even though it was very wet. It cut the wet grass with ease, the stripes were defined and wide (it has a small roller), it is light and easy to push and the blade adjusts with ease. Four things are particularly brilliant, however:
1) It comes with two batteries, which I didn't really appreciate, so one can mow continuously (unless you have a very rough lawn which will use the battery up faster than it can be charged).
2) It has a cool comb thingy which cuts right to the edge of the grass. It really works.
3) Its pretty quiet, so you can cut in less sociable hours.
4) It probably won't break or need servicing routinely. This should save one a lot of money.
Disadvantages? It can't get through really tough grass as well as a petrol, you would need to mow it from a height first then again at a lower one. I suppose you don't look as masculine as a petrol mower user. It also feels a bit 'light' and platicy. But I think it will actually wear quite well, its quite well constructed despite the materials used. Hopefully it should last quite a while.
All in all a product which is hard to fault.
