 | ‘Bosch Powerdrive’: giving you maximum power Running at 3600rpm, the Rotak 40 is lighter and faster than most other mowers on the market today. The high speed 1700 Watt motor and innovative gear set work together to give torque when needed. When the going gets tough, the torque automatically increases to work more powerfully, even under difficult conditions. |
 | Grass combs--mow right up to the edge With inset front wheels, the innovative grass combs on the Rotak 40 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 20mm to 70mm to suit different lawn conditions. |
| Get stripes with the rear roller With the rear roller 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 and store Lightweight at only 12.3kg, and with its fold-down handles and an integrated carry handle, the Rotak 40 is easy to carry and store. |

Better Buy Bosch,
By
This review is from: Bosch Rotak 40 Electric Rotary Lawn Mower (DIY & Tools)
The reviews on the Rotak 40C, I think are actually for the 40, particularly as one reviewer quite rightly notes that you can pick one of these up from Homebase for £119.00 and Homebase doesn't stock the 40C!!
I have bought one of these for my Medium to Small garden after my Flymo burnt out. I have to say that I have been missing out. The Flymo was hard work, hacked the grass, rather than cut it and wasn't even very good on my steep front lawn! This BOSCH blows it out of the water. Its powerful, easy and produces an excellent cut, even across steep ground. You can easily adjust the cut height and the grass collector really compacts the cuttings, meaning I can do the whole lawn without emptying. I was going to buy a Petrol Mower this time, but the Bosch is so light and relatively maintenance free, I don't think you'll find much to justify purchasing one of the competition. One of the best bits of kit I have bought for exceeding my expectations. Great value for money!

Bosch Rotak 40 Electric Rotary Lawn Mower,
By Barry "Baz" (Uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bosch Rotak 40 Electric Rotary Lawn Mower (DIY & Tools)
I have used this lawn mower since last year, It has been as described by all.But the motor has just broken, On inspection the cover over the motor has vents in it but these were blocked with grass hence the motor over heated and sized up. So if you have one take of the top cover by undoing the two screws, so you can clean of the cover over the motor, or it will happen to yours.

Rotak 40 Electric Rotary Mower,
By Ragpicker "Ragpicker" (Cheadle UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bosch Rotak 40 Electric Rotary Lawn Mower (DIY & Tools)
I don't write reviews unless something comes along that redifines anything before it. This is only my 3rd review on Amazon. And yes, its only a lawnmower so whats the big deal? Well, I love my garden, but am not too keen on the inevitable hard graft required to keep it looking good. I have a medium sized to large lawn, most of which is even, but parts which are not, and like it or not, its me that has to mow the darn thing.
I've tried several mowers over the past 5 years, including Flymo hover types (despite all the marketing hype, and several different models, proved to be very little grass collected for lot of hovering ) and a couple of cylinder mowers ( the best one being a Qualcast all metal mower, which works OK on flat areas but scuffs on uneven parts and is heavy to manouver ) this is the mower I used last season and which I'd had the best results with........until I saw the lawn cut with friends Rotak 40. So I bought one. If I hadn't seen what this mower can do, I would never have paid £119 for what basically looks like a cheap plastic mower designed for a postage stamp lawn. And I have to admit, I have my reservations as to how long it will last ( has a year guarantee though ). Its all plastic for goodness sake !! But the results this machine produces are simply stunning. I like my grass cut short, and use this at the minimum cut of 2cm. The lawn almost looks like a bowling green, at this setting. It only takes one mow to cut, and is easy and lightweight to manouver. It has 2 carrier handles built into the mower, which makes it easy to pick-up for transport. The flimsy looking grassbox, does its job admirably, the grass collected being compacted, means it holds at least twice as much as my conventional Qualcast cylinder grassbox. It cuts up right to the edge of the mower ( yes it realy does! ) meaning I can steer the mower round my Apple trees without having to use the strimmer. Underneath, on the back, is a plastic roller, which gives a stryped effect ( not as good as the qualcast, but still noticeable). And, here's the crunch.......this mower will cut on its lowest setting (ie bowling green!! ) without scuffing on uneven lawns. I am quite literally bowled over by this rotary machine, the ease of use and the results I've achieved, and indeed the time saved mowing. I paid over £300 for an excellent quality Qualcast electric mower 2 years ago, but this mower blows it away, in performance and ease of use. UNBELIEVABLE. The question is, how long will it last...it is plastic for goodness sake !!!!!! Update August 2010: Mower still cuts grass like it did when I first bought it, (even though there are a few chunks in the blade ! ) Tip: Now and again I take the front cover off ( 2 screws ) and clean out any grass thats accumulated, to aid ventilation of the motor. See you in 3 years time for next update !!!
