after about 14 years with my lawnmower Uniropa 2000 AERO was needed something new. The choice was the Rotak 43 for normal network operation, advance I can say the wow factor did not come! The assembly of the collecting basket and the linkage on the mower provides for an average artisan talented people as no challenge is to accomplish even single-handedly. My Uniropa was declared with 90db, the Rotak with 95dB, 5dB this difference are acoustically clearly perceptible, so it's been a bit noisy. The power is neat, but now not so much more than my predecessor. The biggest selling point of the Rotak's is certainly its light weight and maneuverability related, you can turn him loose with one hand. To change the way between 4 positions of the safety circuit (deadman) during mowing is a useful gadget (gadget), at least for those who sometimes have to avoid obstacles when mowing the lawn. Suffice incidentally against another recession during the operation one of the 4 switches to hold, only to commissioning, it is necessary to press the power switch into the middle with. The patented grass combs is to make the edge cutting particularly reliable, however, is more of a Verkaufsgag as a useful highlight, really completely meaningless, here I need to continue my Gardena Grass edging shears. The central cutting height adjustment is easily and reliably serve and wide rubberized wheels run very well on the lawn. Sheets are included, that he I can now absorbs particularly well so do not confirm my old mower had developed a higher suction, which go significantly advantageous was also at the lawn edges to bed as the useless grass combs the Rotak's. The grass catcher is full you realize it most likely that the front wheels lift due to the excess weight when mowing very quickly and does not remain as before the cut are usual on the lawn. Unfortunately also accumulates in the corners of the Rotak's abundant clippings, but the final cleaning is not a problem. Would I buy it again for the price, probably not. Note: Recessions are always subjective, who has always annoyed with his old heavy, unwieldy outgoing at every turn mowers, the opinion makes it the Rotak getting the best mower of all time. With whom is the faithful reliable mower simply come only in the year sees a new model naturally somewhat critical, but in a recession you should save only to babble advertised by the manufacturer benefits by. In any case, I have the impression that often stuck dealer behind the rejection of honest critical comments that it is not so much to see if their own merchandise is not judged promotional. I personally experience the paying customers are more important than any test scores of "independent" testers goods, namely the work also not much different from the ADAC and I know what I write.
