Product Information
Full details
The Bosch Rotak 18V-34 is a cordless lawnmower designed for homeowners with small to medium-sized lawns seeking a convenient and powerful cutting experience. Its key benefit is effortless, close-to-the-edge mowing with a brushless motor for optimal performance and battery life, complemented by a separate cordless grass trimmer. A potential caveat is that it's best suited for lawns without excessively long or dense grass due to its 34 cm cutting width.

FAQs
What battery voltage does this mower use?
The Bosch Rotak 18V-34 uses an 18V Bosch POWER FOR ALL battery.
Is the battery included with the mower?
No, the battery and charger are typically sold separately. This allows users to leverage existing batteries from the POWER FOR ALL system.
What is the maximum lawn size recommended for this mower?
It is recommended for small to medium-sized lawns. The 34 cm cutting width is ideal for gardens up to approximately 350 m² (depending on grass conditions and battery capacity).
Can I use this mower for mulching?
Yes, a mulch plug is included. Simply insert it into the mower deck to recycle grass clippings back into the lawn as natural fertilizer.
How do I adjust the cutting height?
The cutting height can be adjusted centrally using a lever, offering 5 different settings ranging from 25 mm to 65 mm.
How easy is it to store?
It is designed for easy storage with a foldable handle and the ability to be stored vertically, making it very space-efficient.
What is the benefit of the GrassCombs?
The GrassCombs guide the grass blades directly into the cutting path, allowing for a neat cut right up to the edge of walls, fences, and pathways.
Troubleshooting
Mower won't start
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that safety key is in place and the handle is fully extended.
Uneven cutting performance
Adjust the cutting height. Clean grass clippings from the blade and deck. Ensure the grass is not excessively wet or long.
Grass clippings not being collected
Check if the grass bag is full or incorrectly attached. Ensure the mulching plug is removed. Clean any blockages in the discharge chute.
GrassCombs are not cleaning edges
Ensure the mower is being operated parallel to the edge. Check for debris obstructing the GrassCombs.
