Manufacturer's Description
The worlds first cordless lithium-ion mower from Bosch combines the power of an electric mower with the convenience of new generation cordless technology
The battery only weighs 1.2kg making the mower extremely lightweight to manoeuvre
The 36V battery fully recharges in one hour with 80% charge reached in 30 minutes
With no cable and no petrol to contend with why not enjoy the freedom of a new technology cordless mower.
Prior to purchasing this mower I was undecided between this and the larger Rotak 43. My existing mower is a 40 cut. My rear lawn is approximately 10 x 10 and my front 10 x 5 metres. That is a total of 150m2 and the mower is good for 300 according to Bosch. That is short grass in dry conditions with the cut set to medium. Additional batteries are available but they cost around £90.00.

The battery took 30 minutes to be fully charged whilst I assembled the mower. Assembly of the mower was quite easy to do. Most difficult part was tightening the two screws that secured the handle into the mower. No problems with the grass box. Instructions were quite small to read though.

I found the default grass height setting of 3 hopeless and had to set the mower to 1. A plastic insert requires removal for you to achieve this. Possibly you are discouraged from using the lower cut to save battery power. In use I found the mower very easy to manoeuvre and obviously so much easier without a cord. The lawn looked very good after cutting.

The battery had faired well and the indicator showed two green LEDs lit indicating a 1/3 of the power remaining. The grass was dry and about 25mm in height. It seem like there should be sufficient spare battery capacity to deal with longer or wetter grass. The grass box was emptied three times. With it being the smaller of the two mowers there was no problem in emptying the grass into the green waste bags.

In summary for my garden size the Bosch Rotak 37 has been a good choice. It's light and easy to manoeuvre and store. Cutting the lawn was almost a pleasure.
