The Bosch AHM38G lawn mower is a hand-pushed cylinder mower with five hardened steel blades. You can vary the height from 15-43cm and Bosch claims it gives a ‘precise, scissor-like cut. We sent it to our test lab to find out if it is worth buying this manual lawn mower if you just have a tiny lawn.

How we test lawn mowers

Grass cutting ability

Overall
Standard grass
Long grass
Rough grass
Wet grass

How we test grass cutting ability

We test each mower's ability to cope with cutting standard, long grass, rough grass, and wet grass lawns, judging how tidily it cuts the grass and what it's like to use it in different conditions.

Handling difficult terrain

Overall
Along lawn edges

How we test handling difficult terrain

Not all gardens are flat and obstacle free, so we test how the mower handles uneven ground, slopes, lawn edges, and how close to wall edges you can cut.

Grass collection

How we test grass collection

We assess how full the grass collector becomes before it needs to be emptied and how often we have to empty it to complete our cutting tests. We also assess how easy it is to remove, carry, empty and replace the grass collector.

Ease of use

How we test ease of use

We test how easy it is to manouvre the mower, carry and empty the grass collector, clean and store away the mower, adjust the handles and cutting height, and the comfort of the handles, controls and operating position.
