The mower is easy to manoeuvre and use. Its ErgoFlex handles provide you with added comfort, reducing strain on your wrists, hands, arms and back. We like the fact that the mower comes with grass combs which allow it to cut neatly along edges. It has a large 40 litre grass box which detaches for easy emptying and cleaning. It also has ProSilence technology which reduces the noise output by up to 30%.

We now look at the features in detail:

• Suitability - The Bosch UniversalRotak 36-550 Cordless Lawnmower is suitable for lawns up to 550 square metres in size. It collects grass with ease (including tall/wet grass), as well as leaves which it then shreds and disposes of.
• Cutting Performance - The cutting blade has a diameter of 38cm. A large diameter such as this is ideal for minimising the number of times you have to push the mower up and down your lawn. It also has an adjustable height. There are six settings which can be changed at the click of a button. They range from 25mm to 70mm.
• Cordless - The mower is cordless which means there's no risk of running over power cables. It's powered by a 4000mAh Lithium-ion battery which is both rechargeable and long lasting.
• ErgoFlex Handles - These handles allow you to work more comfortably. They promote good posture and also reduce the strain on your wrists, hands, arms and back.
• Grass Combs - A series of grass combs allow you to neatly cut edges up against walls, fences, paths and flower beds.
