Bosch Lawn & Garden Recensioni 

Having had a Bosch mower for many years it sadly cut out on my first mow this year, it didn’t owe me anything so bought a new one ! What a pile of rubbish assembly is shocking holes don’t line up and the space to screw the bolts is big enough for a child ! The grass box is flimsy as anything ! Absolutely rubbish I give the thing 12-18 months max ! Won’t buy another Bosch that’s for sure

Got a Rotak 370 ER electric lawnmower from B&Q (Ireland). I was very sick so the first time I used it was over a year after I purchased it. (I had heen using a strimmer in the interim until i set up the lawnmower). I have a small suburban garden and as I nearly finished mowing the lawn, the engine cut out. Tried to restart it and it wouldn't start. Opened the lid and the mower had obviously burnt out. On the first use!! It was broken and useless, having spent over €100 on it for just one use! Had no satisfaction from B&Q since it was over a year from purchase. So I'm left with a completely useless piece of scrap metal for my money. And absolutely no comeback. I would advise against anybody buying any Bosch electrical garden products as the quality is shockingly bad. I later discovered from YouTube reviews that this seems to be a common problem with this product. Several reviews say that the engine burned out prematurely. Bosch must know about this problem and continue to sell an inferior product. Please avoid purchasing this as it will be a complete waste of money!!

I bought a AdvancedRotak 36-850 from Costco in April 2021 , I registered online for the 3 year warranty which they offered. I only use the machine to trim the edge around my garden , then I have a ride on mower for the rest of the garden. I have probably used the AdvancedRotak 36-850 about 10/12 times in that period and charged the battery that many times. Sunday just gone when I finished went to charge the battery and red flashing light came on, wouldn’t charge. Waited till Tuesday as Monday was a bank holiday only to be told the battery is only 12 months? It doesn’t say that anywhere on the warranty certificate, not only that one should get at least 500 charges out of the battery at least. Lady on customer services very rude as well. New battery is £249.00 , new machine just under £400 so you can see this so called quality brand is nothing but rubbish. Save your money don’t buy Bosch they are living of the brand name from years ago. They are absolute rubbish buy a cheaper brand it may last longer.

Just bought a cordless Bosch mower from B&Q this week, have used it twice, it works ok but the lowest cut is way too high and the lawn does not look cut, looks like a field 😬 very disappointing, my old Gtech was perfect I wish I’d bought a new one from them, cannot recommend at all

Bosch Advanced Rotak 650 lawn mower - mower worked for 3 years then just one week outside warranty the motor has burnt out so no recourse at all. Not heavily used. Looked on line for replacement motor £165!!! + postage so almost same cost as a new lawn mower - Bosch is therefore forcing obsolescence by stupidly high prices on parts. Previously owned Bosch electric lawn mower also failed after a couple of years. Bosch products have really gone downhill in quality over recent years.

I bought a Bosch Lawnmower, thinking bosch was one of the best makes, it constantly broke down. The arrogance of the service team is astounding , they dont want to help, in my opinion they dont want to do a repair under guarantee. I have many bosch tools but after this experience wont be buying any more.. You have to wait in all day for collection for a repair, they want to waste as much of your time as they can to get out of doing the repairs.. Rubbish service.

Like so many people we thought Bosch was a quality brand. But oh no not the garden kit it is terrible, and so many bad reviews, I wish I'd looked here first. This time it's the super expensive battery for the lawn mower. Just stopped working after 18 months and not covered on Bosch extended warranty. We had our Honda mower nearly ten years, and sold it working to try a battery lawn mower. Bosch = Expensive Poor Products. Will end up costing you hundreds to maintain, read the reviews and avoid.

I purchased a Rotak 430 LI Cordless Lawnmower, and used it for less than 2000 minutes before the motor died. It was just out of warrantee so they wanted £135 to repair it. Don't be fooled by the well known brand. These cordless lawnmowers are not well made. I wish I had seen the other reviews here before I had purchased one. An expensive mistake :(

Another important thing to note. Bosch don't care about reviews - or customers. Just check how many times they can be bothered to answer customer's concerns on Trustpilot. The answer is ZERO. That's a real shame. We have parted with hard earned money and hoped to purchase from a company with some thought for consumers of their products.

Bought a Bosch universal rotak 650 in sept 2019 , it broke down just before the guarantee ran out , Bosch replaced it with a brand new one of the same model last October. Now the motor has gone on this one , sent it back , now have just been told that even though it’s a brand new one it is only covered by the original guarantee on the first mower, it’s company policy apparently. What a joke I complained to be told someone will get back to me , of course they haven’t. I will not let this lie . Do not buy a Bosch mower if you have any sense. I will never buy any other Bosch product again .

Bosch mowers used to be well made,not now though,very poor quality, steer well clear!

Bosch Lawnmowers represent poor quality at the best.
I have had two that have both let me down due to poor build quality - it's not that they are cheap to buy.
I have had problems with the height adjustment and the on/off switches.
I have been caught twice now, but never again. They are just not good enough to do the job, so it's back to my 30 year old Mountfield that is in poor shape but still works after all these years.
Another reason not to buy is the lead length; it's far too short for anything more than a postage stamp

Bought a Bosch Rotak 37-14Ergo last summer. Overall cuts reasonably well, except at the lowest setting (which is needed in summer with more frequent cutting) where the cut is patchy. The setting one longer than lowest is the best cut. However, the most frustrating feature is the very poor grass collection. The grass box only fills to the end closest to the mower & fills this very quickly but the remainder of the grass box is empty. The mower then leaves grass all over the cut area. The only solution is to recut the grass at a higher setting to "hoover up" the cuttings. Tedious at best!!
You have been warned!!

Bought the Bosch Rotak 37-14 Ergo at the end of last summer, my Qualcast rotary broke after many years of faithful service. It is awful, even on the top height and dry grass, it spits out more than it collects. So disappointed, wish I had taken it back straight away. Gutted I could not find a similar replacement for the Qualcast. This is after throwing out a Bosch strimmer as the spool kept falling out 😠

Reported a faulty battery for AdvancedRotek 36-850. Battery won't charge (36v 6.0ah), only 16 months old, less than a year of use.

Have just bought a Bosch Lawnmower - Advanced Rotak 750 Corded - quality seems OK and it works. However they claim you can extend the warranty to three years by registering online. When trying to do this I came across one of the most unfriendly sites I have experienced. These days you expect to be a ble to use a QR code etc to register your product but the site didn't recognise the QR code on the box or the name plate serial number. It also wouldn't accept my address as it asked for a number and street - hmmm what if your house has a name? well put simply and politely, which wasn't how I felt at the time, you have to just put a number in front of your house name!! I have send an email to Bosch re the registration issues (again put simply the site and app just said that they couldn't register my purchase as they could't recognixe the product) and included a photo of the name plate and the QR code on the box but after 4 working days they as yet haven't replied. Not impresssed at all!

I think the bad reviews for Bosch are far too flattering.
I needed a spare, and after 6 months (yes, 6 months) of having one person saying the part was available, and the next saying it wasn't...
Eventually, I started to think more positively, when I was told they would replace the item. So, 6 months later, and the CEO won't assist, but ignores emails, and there has been no progress.
A disgraceful experience.
I used to buy Bosch as I thought they were a professional business. Now, I have been put off for life!
Update: As I was injured as a result of waiting for the replacement, which causes me constant pain and stops me doing many things I enjoy, Bosch still ignore emails, despite the next stage being legal action to recover all the costs - which could be done without the legal costs. I cannot comprehend the "logic".
In addition, trust doesn't exist, as when Bosch said it would replace the item, once I agreed, they said only after they had my item back - and the history is they seem to move the goalposts to prevent a solution.

I have bought 3 Bosch Rotak mowers over the last 7-8 years which have been fantastic. my own was the first so has done 8 years service and been looked after and cleaned regularly - motor failed but had worked it hard so why not replace it with the latest one.

Well simply DON'T !!!!! - expensive piece of plastic cr*p!! Awkward to use, does not cut low enough for uk lawn - spews grass all over the place cutting and when removing the box. even has a sticker proclaiming 45cm cut on its side but blade is 44.3cm by my measure with 40 years experience as an engineer!!!!

I have had my Bosch Rotar 34 13 for 2 summers. The blade didn't last long at all.
Now the piece of crap has packed up altogether.
What a pile of dung.
Don't buy this rubbish make, made in China.
Total waste of your hard earned cash.
Be ashamed Bosch, be very ashamed.

Dont go there they are very poor quality. Shame because it could be good its just not built well.

I bought the Bosch 36v LI Ergoflex having seen my step daughters in operation. It's light and there's no messing around with wires and the beauty is that the battery also fits some of Bosch's other 36v garden tools so a new set of hedge trimmers are on the way. I know that it's a modern plastic product but it seems as strong and well build as all the competitors and is no pricier.
