Bosch F016800377 Replacement Blade for Rotak 34 Lawn Mower

Product Information

This Bosch Rotak 34 mower does not have the ability to mulch grass clippings like many other models at a similar price point do. Really Cuts – This is why you’re really here, reading this Bosch Rotak 34R Review; you want to know whether it really cuts, right? Well you’ll be glad to learn that most consumers are more than happy with the performance of this mower. It’s a mower that makes grass cutting easy and accessible for anyone given its attributes (lightweight, easy to carry etc), and it’s really more than capable of dealing with regular lawn maintenance, and is a worthy ally for those occasions when you miss a few weeks and the grass grows a little longer than the norm. As long as you don’t push it and expect it to deal with an overgrown mess, you should be fine. Many consumers mention good result on wet grass too.

As an entry-level mower, the Rotak 34R is designed with ease of use in mind. Bosch has been quite successful in making this mower easy to use, no matter how much mowing experience you have. This plastic design is mostly a problem when it comes to the grass box. The grass box feels a bit flimsy, and can break over time. This normally occurs after the plastic is exposed to the elements for a few years, resulting in it becoming brittle, and then isn’t handled with care – for example when re-attaching it on the first mow of the year. Some, but not all electric lawnmowers include a rear roller to give your lawn that professional striped finish. If this is important to you, then make sure your next electric lawnmower includes this feature. The small size of this mower also makes it more agile. It’s easy to turn in tight spaces, allowing you to do more precise mowing.

Another happy side effect of the motor being electric, is that it produces practically zero-emissions and is far quieter than its petrol-based brethren. Nice Clean Cut The Bosch Rotak 34 comes with a grass box that can be fitted to the body of the mower. This grass box has a capacity of 40 litres which is the perfect size for a small to medium sized lawn. Since it is constructed of molded plastic, you will not feel overburdened with the grass box attached to the mower. This grass box is extremely light and you will not sacrifice mobility and speed by having it attached to the mower. In addition to being light a efficient, the grass box is easy to attach and remove. Emptying the grass clippings from it could not be any easier as well. Never overthink grass collection again when you use the Bosch Rotak 34R. Now we’re going to discuss the potential deal breakers; the most common cons cited when it comes to this mower. You’ll need to figure out whether you can learn to live with them. The grass box does not have an indicator level like many other collection boxes on comparable lawn mowers do. Adjusting the cutting height between the 5 included settings is easy, and can be done without turning the mower over, which is great. There’s a simple lever you can move to raise or lower the blade between 20 to 70mm, depending on how high you want to cut.

There’s an electric start – no need to pull a cord to get it going. Once it’s on, all you need to do is squeeze the safety trigger on the handle to activate the mower. Bosch has included grass combs on this mower – they’re the orange parts you’ll notice on the sides of the mower, near the blades. These grass combs help you neatly trim the edges of your lawn without having to use a strimmer. They’re a nice thing to have, especially if you’re fed up of struggling to cut the edges of your grass. The actual mower though, including the blade and the motor, is very durable. You don’t have to worry about the cut quality reducing over time. The blade is also easy to sharpen, and replacements are readily available if you plan to keep this mower for the long term. If you have a small to medium sized yard, then you will get a tremendous amount of use out of an electric lawnmower. Electric lawnmowers decrease in performance as their battery charge decreases, so this means that they are best used to cut a small amount of grass in a fast amount of time. Terrain TypeBosch is a leader in delivering practical solutions that are not only smartly designed, but comfortable to use too. The handle on the Bosch Rotak 34 lawn mower provides the operator with a comfortable grip that will limit hand cramping and user fatigue.
