The best Bosch electric lawnmowers, compared.
Top pick: Bosch ROTAK18V-32 bare Best value: Bosch EasyRotak 32-225 – Lowest saved price among complete corded mowers, £80.99, with 4.2 from 222 reviews. Updated 22.10.2026.
An electric lawnmower is a walk-behind rotary for a UK lawn you can cross on foot. It cuts with a spinning blade, from a mains lead or a removable battery. Check the cutting width, whether it needs a lead, and whether the carton can mow on the first dry afternoon. Width is printed in centimetres. A narrower deck turns more easily at a gate. A wider deck means fewer passes. A corded machine needs a nearby socket and a UK 13 A fused plug. A cordless machine needs a battery and charger in the box, or a pack that already fits. A body with no pack is not ready to cut. The collector should be named, as a box or a fabric bag, and the height range should be readable. Ignore a weight of about a kilogram on a full-size deck. UK mains are 230 V. Do not mow wet grass, and unplug before you clear the blade. First-cut checks are in the [how to use an electric lawnmower](/hub/lawn-and-garden-equipment/bosch-electric-lawnmower/sub/bosch-electric-lawnmower-how-to-use).

Question 1 of 2
Is there a socket beside the lawn?
The bare ROTAK18V-32 is the same 32 cm cordless deck as the kit, sold without a battery or a charger at a saved £132.60. The star line is 4.5 from 88 reviews, with only seven UK review texts in the saved listing, so the headline score rests on a thin set of written comments. The title states 25–65 mm, a 35-litre fabric bag, and a mulch plug. UK comments like the missing cable and the light handling, and one reviewer mentions folding or hanging it for storage. The weight cell is 13 kg. A bullet says Power For All, but one UK reviewer warns that green garden batteries are not the pro 18 V tool batteries, and the listing does not settle the point. You still need a compatible pack and charger before it will mow, so £132.60 is not a ready-to-cut price. Assembly is still part of the first afternoon.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already own a compatible Bosch 18 V garden pack and charger and want the 32 cm body at a saved £132.60.
Less suitable: A first cordless mower when there is no battery at home.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the bare ROTAK18V-32 include a battery?
No. The style name is without battery and charger. The included line is the mower and a mulch plug. The saved price is £132.60.
Will any Bosch 18 V battery fit?
The bullet says Power For All. One UK reviewer says green garden batteries are not the pro 18 V tool batteries. The listing does not settle that.
How does the cut compare with the kit version?
The title matches the kit on 32 cm, 25–65 mm, a 35 litre bag, and a mulch plug. This ASIN does not include the 4.0 Ah pack or the AL 18V-44 charger.
On a small lawn where a lead would be the problem, the ROTAK18V-32 set is the 32 cm cordless mower that arrives ready to charge: one 18 V 4.0 Ah pack and an AL 18V-44 charger, at a saved £181. The star line is 4.5 from 54 reviews, a higher score than the corded models and a much smaller sample. The title states a 25–65 mm cut, a 35-litre fabric bag, and a mulch plug, and a bullet calls the motor brushless. UK reviewers like the missing cable. Runtime comments do not agree: some say about an hour, others about 10–15 minutes, and the listing states neither. The battery release is called fiddly, and one reviewer said the pack did not fit their older Bosch tools. Another returned the set because the charger and the motor kept cutting out. Fifty-four reviews are not the evidence of the 678-review corded row.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small lawn where you want one 4.0 Ah pack and a charger in the box and you do not want a mains lead across the grass.
Less suitable: A lawn that needs a stated runtime, or a house that only has older or pro Bosch 18 V packs.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this ROTAK18V-32 include a battery?
Yes. The title and the included line name an 18 V 4.0 Ah battery and an AL 18V-44 charger, plus a mulch plug.
What width and bag does the title state?
32 cm, a cut of 25–65 mm, and a 35 litre fabric grass bag. The weight cell is 14.3 kg.
How long does the battery last?
The listing does not say. UK reviewers report about an hour and also about 10–15 minutes. One pack did not fit that reviewer’s older Bosch tools.
The ROTAK18V2-38 is the only twin-battery mower in this set, and it is built for a wider cut than a terrace: 38 cm, 30–75 mm, a 40-litre fabric bag, two 18 V 4.0 Ah packs, and an AL 2X18V-88 charger. The saved price is £269.99, with 4.5 from 50 reviews. UK reviewers describe a step up from a corded or hover mower and mention a folding handle. One person claims about 700 m² twice; that is one lawn, not a measured result, and Bosch’s own chart puts this 38 cm 2×18 V format nearer 500 m². The weight cell is 23.5 kg, and the origin cell says Hungary. The listing asks whether it is self-propelled and the bullets do not answer, so you should not assume it drives itself. The highest saved price and a 50-review sample keep it below the cheaper corded models on this page’s score.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A medium lawn if you want two 18 V packs in the box and a 38 cm cut, and you can move a mower listed at 23.5 kg.
Less suitable: A small terrace, a bare-unit budget, or anyone who needs a self-propelled mower.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the ROTAK18V2-38 include batteries?
Yes. The included line names two 18 V 4.0 Ah batteries, an AL 2X18V-88 charger, and a mulch plug.
Is it self-propelled?
The listing asks the question and the bullets do not answer it. Nothing in the title says it drives itself.
What do the width and weight cells say?
38 cm, a cut of 30–75 mm, a 40 litre bag, and an item weight of 23.5 kg. Some UK reviewers still call it light.
On a small or medium UK lawn with a socket nearby, the UniversalRotak 34-410 is the corded 34 cm mower with the largest review pile in this set: 4.2 from 678 amazon.co.uk reviews, at a saved £96.87. The title states 230 V, a 40-litre grass box, and GrassCombs, so the carton is a complete mains mower rather than a bare deck. Reviewers who like it mention the cut and the height lever, and they also describe a slow assembly. The complaint that keeps returning is the grass box: it is called flimsy, and the handle falls off when the box is full. Lead length is not printed, and several UK reviews call the cable short once the lawn is not beside the socket. Watts are not stated, and the item-weight cell of 1.26 kg is not a weight you can plan around. It is the top pick here because 678 reviews outweigh a higher star on a much smaller sample, not because the collector is sturdy.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small or medium lawn with a socket nearby, if you want the corded 34 cm model with the most amazon.co.uk reviews in this set and you can accept a flimsy box.
Less suitable: A garden with no nearby socket, or anyone who needs a printed wattage and a trustworthy weight before they buy.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the UniversalRotak 34-410 include a grass box?
The title says a 40-litre grass box and GrassCombs. UK reviewers often call that box flimsy and say the handle falls off when it is full.
What cutting width and voltage does the listing state?
The title states 34 cm and 230 V. Watts are not printed. The height cell says 34 centimetres, which conflicts with reviewers who talk about a cut near 25 mm.
Is the stated weight 1.26 kg?
That is the item-weight cell. It is not a credible weight for this mower, and one UK reviewer found it heavy to push.
On a small lawn the EasyRotak 32-220 is the corded 32 cm mower with the second-largest review count here: 4.2 from 344 amazon.co.uk reviews, at a saved £108.59. The highlight states 1,200 W, a 31-litre grass box, and grass combs, and a bullet names an extra 32 cm blade that the included-components row does not repeat. UK reviewers describe a short cable and a flimsy box, the same collector complaint that appears on the cheaper EasyRotak. One reviewer returned a unit that cut out about every 30 seconds and collected poorly, so that failure is in the file even though it is a single account. The positions cell says five heights, one UK reviewer counted three, and the height range itself is not printed. The listing weight of 11.8 kg is a usable figure, unlike the broken weight cells on other rows. The saved listing ranks it 1 in Rotary Mowers, which is Amazon’s list position in that file, not a lab result.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small lawn near a socket, if you want the 1,200 W 32 cm corded model with a large review count and you will check that any spare blade is actually in the carton.
Less suitable: A long garden that needs a printed lead length, or a buyer who needs the spare blade confirmed in the components row.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the EasyRotak 32-220 include a spare blade?
The bullets name an extra 32 cm blade. The included-components row names only the mower and the carton.
What power and width does the highlight state?
1,200 W, a 32 cm cut, a 31 L grass box, and grass combs. The listing weight is 11.8 kg.
How many height positions are listed?
The positions cell says 5. One UK reviewer counted 3. The height range itself is not printed.
For a small lawn or a caravan pitch, the EasyRotak 32-225 is the corded mower UK reviewers keep tying to a low price and a stated weight of 8 kg. The saved amazon.co.uk price is £80.99, with 4.2 from 222 reviews, and the highlight states 1,200 W, a 32 cm cut, and a 31-litre grass box. A two-year manufacturer warranty is printed, which is the only warranty line in this set. Reviewers who like it mention the weight and the price on a small lawn. The same threads repeat a plastic chassis, a weak box, loose handle screws, and grass left behind once the lawn has grown on. The positions cell says 1 while the height cells say 25–65 mm, and one reviewer counts three heights, so the height story on the page does not agree with itself. It is the best value here as the lowest saved price among complete corded mowers, if you can live with the plastic build those reviews describe.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small lawn or caravan pitch with a socket nearby, if the lowest saved corded price matters and you can accept the plastic build reviewers describe.
Less suitable: Long grass, or a buyer who wants a printed multi-step height and a sturdier box than these reviews describe.
Specifications
Common questions
What is in the EasyRotak 32-225 carton?
The included line names the mower and the carton. The highlight adds 1,200 W, a 32 cm cut, and a 31-litre grass box. No battery is listed.
How many cutting heights does the listing give?
The height cells say 25–65 mm and the positions cell says 1. One UK reviewer says there are three heights.
Is a warranty printed?
Yes. The saved listing says a 2 year manufacturer warranty. The stated weight is 8 kg.
The bare ROTAK18V-34 is a 34 cm cordless body for someone who already owns batteries, at a saved £154.97 and 4.2 from 54 reviews, with nine UK texts in the saved listing. The title states a mulch plug, a 35-litre fabric bag, and a 25–65 mm cut, and the weight cell is 12.5 kg. A bullet claims foldable handles and vertical storage, which is the practical point if the shed is already full. Owners who already had batteries treat the missing charger as the reason to buy the body. One reviewer says a 2.5 Ah pack was not enough and a 5 Ah pack only just finished a medium lawn, so a single small pack is a real limit. The same review says garden batteries and power-tool batteries are not the same thing on Amazon. Another calls the mower flimsy. It only makes sense if a compatible 4.0 Ah-class garden pack is already on the shelf.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already own Bosch 18 V garden batteries and want a 34 cm body rather than paying for another charger.
Less suitable: Anyone without a 4.0 Ah-class garden pack, or a lawn one reviewer could not finish on a single battery.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the ROTAK18V-34 include a battery?
No. The style name is without battery and charger. Included items are the mower and a mulch plug. The saved price is £154.97.
What battery do UK reviewers say they needed?
One reviewer says a 2.5 Ah pack was not enough and a 5 Ah pack only just did a medium lawn. The listing itself does not state a minimum amp-hour.
What width and bag are in the title?
34 cm, 25–65 mm, and a 35 litre fabric bag. The weight cell is 12.5 kg. A bullet claims foldable handles and vertical storage.
When the grass has been left and you still have a lead, the AdvancedRotak 40-650 is the widest corded mower in this set: the title states 1,700 W and 40 cm, at a saved £209.94. The star line is 4.0 from 99 reviews, the lowest stars here. UK reviewers praise pickup on longer grass and complain about a short lead and a fabric collector that leaks or comes off the deck. One reviewer says the lead is 10 m; that is one review, not a spec cell. Another says they bought it because it was Which? recommended, and this file does not contain a Which? source. Amazon’s weight cell says 1 kg and the dimension cell says 1 × 1 × 1 cm, both unusable for a 40 cm mower. Bosch’s page for part 06008B9H70 states a 50-litre bag and 25–80 mm in seven steps, which these Amazon cells do not. The batteries-required cell says no, so a review that mentions a battery does not match this corded listing.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A larger lawn on a lead, if you want the 40 cm, 1,700 W corded title and you can live with the collector comments.
Less suitable: A small terrace, a cordless brief, or anyone relying on the 1 kg Amazon weight cell.
Specifications
Common questions
What power and width are in the title?
1,700 W and 40 cm. The bullets add Ergoflex handles, GrassCombs, and a fabric bag with a fill indicator. Litres are not on this Amazon listing.
Can the 1 kg weight cell be used?
No. The same block says 1 x 1 x 1 cm. Those cells do not describe a 40 cm mower. UK reviewers call it heavier than a hover.
Does it include a battery?
The batteries-required cell says no, and the supply line is the mower and the carton. One review talks about a battery; that does not match this corded listing.
Eight amazon.co.uk listings were scored on 22 October 2026 from the note for this comparison. There was no lab test. The note uses four factors, in this order: the star line, the review count beside those stars, whether the carton can mow, and the saved GBP price. A larger sample outranks a higher star on a thin sample. A corded mower, or a cordless kit with a battery and charger, can mow. A bare body cannot. Price separates the best-value badge and does not override the largest review sample. The note does not publish percentage weights for those four factors. The figures 88, 86, 82, 79, 75, 73, 70 and 66 are the eight product scores. They are worked examples, not criterion weights. They total 619. They are not copied into the weights below and they are not rescaled. The weight fields are 0 because no criterion percentage was published. The top pick is the highest score. Best value is the lowest saved price among complete corded mowers.
Amazon stars
0%The amazon.co.uk star line on the listing. The method note lists this first and does not publish a percentage. A higher star on a thin sample does not outrank a larger sample.
Review count
0%The review count beside the stars. A larger sample outranks a higher star on a thin sample. No percentage is published for this factor.
Complete carton
0%Whether the carton can mow: a corded mower, or a cordless kit with a battery and charger. A bare body cannot. No percentage is published for this factor.
Saved price
0%The saved GBP price in the file. It separates the best-value badge and does not override the largest review sample. No percentage is published for this factor.
Start with the socket, then the width, then the carton. A lead is the simpler machine when the socket is close. A battery kit is the point when the lead would cross the lawn. A bare body is a saving only if a compatible pack is already at home. The notes below follow that order. They are not a lab ranking, and a single review of runtime or lead length stays a single review.
A Bosch electric lawnmower in this set is a walk-behind rotary on UK mains or a removable battery. Buyers choose width, a lead or a battery, and whether the carton can mow on day one. Evidence is the amazon.co.uk star line beside the review count, and whether the title matches the spec cells. Eight listings run from a corded EasyRotak 32-225 at a saved £80.99, with 4.2 from 222 reviews, to a twin-battery ROTAK18V2-38 at a saved £269.99, with 4.5 from 50 reviews.
£132.60 and £154.97 are bodies. Neither carton includes a battery or a charger. Bosch UK asks for at least 4.0 Ah. One reviewer on the bare 34 cm model said a 2.5 Ah pack was not enough.
The UniversalRotak weight cell of 1.26 kg and the AdvancedRotak cells of 1 kg and 1 × 1 × 1 cm do not describe these mowers. Use a weight that looks like a mower, such as 8 kg, 11.8 kg or 23.5 kg, or leave the cell out.
An hour, 10–15 minutes, a 10 m lead and about 700 m² are single reviews. No title says self-propelled. A Which? mention on one review is not a source in this file. Do not mow wet grass because one person managed it.
Power source is the first check. A corded mower suits a nearby socket, and the cut is not limited by a pack. A cordless mower suits a distant socket, and the pack runs out. Corded in this set: EasyRotak 32-225, EasyRotak 32-220, UniversalRotak 34-410 and AdvancedRotak 40-650. Cordless: the ROTAK18V-32 kit, the bare ROTAK18V-32, the bare ROTAK18V-34 and the ROTAK18V2-38. The carton decides day one. £181 includes one 18 V 4.0 Ah pack and an AL 18V-44 charger.
Printed cuts are 32, 34, 38 and 40 cm. Wider means fewer passes and a clumsier gate. Bosch’s UK chart, not a lab of these listings, puts about 150 m² on a 32 cm 18 V mower, about 200 m² on 34 cm, and about 500 m² on the 38 cm 2×18 V format. Taking about one third off the grass height is Bosch’s advice, not a British Standard. Collectors are named in the titles. EasyRotak highlights name a 31-litre box. The 34-410 title names 40 litres.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You have a small or medium lawn and a socket close enough for a lead. The UniversalRotak 34-410 is the corded 34 cm mower with 4.2 from 678 reviews at a saved £96.87. The title states 230 V and a 40-litre box. Reviewers still call that box flimsy.
You want the lowest saved price among complete corded mowers and you can accept a plastic build. The EasyRotak 32-225 is £80.99, with 4.2 from 222 reviews, 1,200 W, 32 cm and a stated 8 kg. Reviewers on small lawns mention the weight and still report a weak box.
The lead is the problem and you do not already own a garden pack. The ROTAK18V-32 set includes one 18 V 4.0 Ah battery and an AL 18V-44 charger at a saved £181, with 4.5 from 54 reviews. Runtime is not printed, and the reviews do not agree.
The highest score is the UniversalRotak 34-410, a corded 34 cm mower at a saved £96.87 with 4.2 from 678 reviews, the largest sample in this set. It is the top pick because that review count outweighs a higher star on a much smaller sample, not because the grass box is sturdy. Best value is the EasyRotak 32-225 at £80.99, the lowest saved price among complete corded mowers, with 4.2 from 222 reviews, a stated 8 kg and a two-year warranty line. Reviewers on that row still report a plastic chassis and a weak box. None of these scores is a lab test.
