The Bosch Rotak 34R is a small electric, rotary blade lawn mower available from Homebase and Argos for less than £150. We tried this lawn mower out on long grass as a well as a normal family lawn and had some niggles, but read our full review to see whether its cutting ability makes it worth considering.

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

Overall
Mowing around obstacles

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.
