Because the grass collection box folds flat there are two fold-able arms near the box opening, when emptying the cuttings these slightly obstructs and restricts the flow of the cuttings when emptying. Also, because the Bosch 650 does such a good job of compacting the cuttings a good shake of the collection box is needed to eject all the cuttings. The lawnmower comes with a 10-metre power cable. If more range is required an extension cord will be needed. This length of power cable is relatively standard for electric lawn mowers.

The Bosch AdvancedRotak 650 model also has grass combs for great edges and corners as well as LeafCollect to gather leaves as you work on the lawn.The cleverly designed grass box is generously sized at 50 litres, which ensures minimal trips to the compost heap to empty it. You’ll be pleased to note that it folds completely flat for easy storage.

Bosch have opted for a large 50 litre grass box on both the AdvancedRotak 750 and the AdvancedRotak 650 it makes sense as both mowers are designed for larger lawns. The mower does a fantastic job of compacting the cuttings into this very large grass box meaning less trips to the compost for emptying. The 650 mower does naturally become heavier as the grass box fills but I never had any issues manoeuvring the mower around the lawn. Having said that I don’t really have any steep inclines in my garden, but I guess you could always empty the grass box before it is completely full or starting to become heavy. However, if you do need to use the instructions, the images and text are extra-large and easy to read.

A clever feature of the Bosch AdvancedRotak 36-650 cordless lawn mower is the grass combs. They may seem like an insignificant feature - but to a busy domestic or professional gardener, this will be a godsend as it allows you to cut really close to edges - leaving virtually no grass behind for the grass-trimmer to take care of. Even though it’s fitted with a ProSilence feature, I didn’t notice much difference in the sound level compared with other lawnmowers. But if you’re sensitive to sounds, you may notice the reduction more than me. It is essential that your lawn mower is highly adjustable to accommodate different lawn types as well as to accommodate for the different seasons. The Bosch AdvancedRotak 650 gives you a choice of 7 settings ranging from 25mm to 80mm on the front and rear wheels. Wow! 7 height adjustments! This really is impressive as some mowers I have tested only have 3, so no matter what type of lawn you have or what your seasonal requirements are, this mower will be perfectly adjustable for your needs.

Join Our Growing Community: In summary, I've only got a corded Flymo and a brief experience with a ride on to compare but I enjoyed using the Bosch. It gave a neat cut and the battery lasted well. I do have a couple of other batteries for other Bosch tools so this is easy to extend if I need it. The material is more prone to damage from tearing when in use, however, the material is good quality and if looked after should not be an issue. A cool addition to this electric motor is the ProSilence function. This reduces the noise output of the AdvancedRotak 650, making it much quieter than many smaller sized lawn mowers. This is a great feature for those wary about making too much noise when cutting the grass. Cutting Width
