    This is perfect! Cannot live with it !

    published

    I'm very happy with this movers' cutting results. It is very easy to maneuver the mower. This brand mower is easy to operate and maintain. It is also not heavy to women so that I can operate with ease. It is also flexible to collect and clean. Overall, i'm satisfied with it.

    Excellent Quiet Light Mower!

    published

    This mower is very powerful and easy to use though it's only a battery operated one. I had to change from petrol to the battery operated one because it's easier to use for my dad. It's very light to maneuver. To start you just need to press a button. Very easy to clean and maintain too.

    Good powered Electric mower

    published

    I bought this from bunnings along with trimmer that came in the box.
    This is powered by wire, which trains most people off- but I don't like petrol mowers due heir maintenance requirements.
    For this, you just plug in and go.
    It is just about very simple learning curve of how not to mow over wire.
    This unit is pretty powerful and does the job. I have about 300m2 lawn and face no problem even with knee length grass. Price was $200 combined mower plus trimmer.

    Great mower - shame about the charger

    published

    I've had this mower for quite a few years now and it works brilliantly all the time. I don't have much lawn to mow (and even less now that I built a new house) but the one thing I'm hearing a lot of is the under-engineered battery charger dying...and considering the faulty part bringing your mowing to a halt is a 25 cent 180k resistor I'm not impressed with Bosch's engineers on that count. However there is a well written article by a guy called galooph who explains really well how to fix it (though I think his wattages were wrong and I replaced the resistor with a 1W 180k-ohm resistor and all is good again. Maybe I should start a service for repairing chargers in Melbourne ;)

    Served me well

    published

    I was happy for 4 years then all of a sudden battery would only last 5 minutes after charging so bought a new battery, not cheap nevertheless cheaper than a new mower, new battery appeared to change but zilch power, was told the charger had died rather than the battery.

    Mower fantastic - battery + charger ???

    published

    Mower fantastic - but when the battery charger blew its fuse it became too difficult to know what was wrong - the battery, the charger or something caused by the mower. Replacing the charger and battery is very expensive ... and if its a problem caused by the mower it could be a waste of time and money.

    We love it!

    published

    We bought our Bosch Rotak 37 Li cordless about 3 years ago from Bunnings for $600 I think and we love it.
    It is just so convenient, quiet, and gets the job done. We don't have a large lawn but it takes us about 25 minutes to cut and we get it done on one charge. The charger gave up about 4 months ago but found one from some Sydney tool Company for about $180.

    Update 30/4/16
    Our latest charger, number three, has now died and we are trying to negotiate with Bosch to see if they will supply another one. We reckon 3 chargers (recommended retail $249) in 4 years is a bit much. Otherwise we still love the mower which does a fantastic job.
    Easy to use, light, quiet, no petrol, oil, plugs to worry about
    a bit expensive but worth every cent

    Disposable Mower

    published

    I loved this mower, worked well for almost three years. Then the battery didn't charge. Wasn't sure if it was the charger or the battery so I thought I would look at both. Bunnings no longer stocked this mower, so it took a while to get the prices. For both the charger and the battery... $520.
    So light and easy to use.
    Apparently it is disposable.

    Acquired 2010, still going, just.

    published

    I bort my Rotak 37 in 2010 and its still going. Of late its been hesitant to start so Im worried its on its last legs. Symptom - motor whirs for 1 second then stops. Try it a bit later and it starts. Battery seems fine, showing 3 bars. Hopefully it will last this spring and summer. Im on a 540sqm block with a decent lawn at rear and modest front.

    In terms of the last 3 yrs usage - no complaints. Its perfectly fine for modest lawns and modest tasks in suburbia.
    No petrol hassles! Light. Seems well-built.
    In its 4th year of operation it occasionally doesnt start, but still hasnt died. Fingers crossed!

    Excellent

    published

    A great mower but the one I chose (37) is too small for my 1/4 acre block, however it will do. With only one battery, beer time comes around quickly.
    Light & the wife can use it! (weight is 60% of equivalent petrol mower)Quiet, can cut the grass at Sunday lunch time
    Catcher is too small.Bosch should ship it with a second battery to increase cutting time.Cannot handle gum nuts - they jam the blades & can be hard to remove.

    Rotak 37 LI

    Hello, the mower kept stopping and starting, so I thought the starter motor switch in the handle was at fault. I have replaced with a new one, it still has the same problem. I then removed the cover checked all the wires were in place and cleaned everything in site, so no more debris inside. All replaced and it still has the same problem. Could it be the plastic switches inside the handle under the starter switch not doing their job. If so can they be replaced ? Or could it be the something else? The alternative is giving Bosch 150 pounds to fix it. Ouch. Many Thanks for any help out there. M

    Rotak 37 LI

    The motor starts and then stops after 1-2 seconds. I have bypassed the handle contact and the key. Now I'm looking at the motor power relay made by Tyco V23134-B1053-C642. Could this relay be faulty or could it be the motor itself?

    Not yet. I will first replace the motor power relay made by Tyco. I found it on the web and a new only costs $10.

    Put a screwdriver in the hole in the baseplate and turn the plate until the screwdriver falls into a slot. Then take the nut off
