Except for the handle and the grass catcher, the mower is fitted. The mounting of the handle is easy without tools and in the last pages of the manual also very well illustrated. The assembly of the grass box is somewhat tricky, since the 3 plastic parts must be put together with several tabs. I have indeed hammer out alone, but for two it would be a clear advantage and probably done more quickly. Since housing and grass box made entirely of plastic, the mower is fairly easy and can be transported very well. The handle can also be folded down slightly by 2 quick-release fasteners, which facilitates an accommodation in the shed where space is limited.
In electric lawnmowers one has always been the problem with the cable. This is quite a good solution, because the connector is in the middle of the handlebar and one on the left and right has a fastening for the cable. There are to start in the middle of a start button and operate there left and right each 2 differently arranged handles of which one. Always a pressing need, allowing fatigue-free work
The cutting height adjustment is carried out centrally via a latching lever. The lever is arranged so that is an accidental change virtually eliminated (was with my previously used Blac & Decker mower sometimes a problem: if you have mowed close to a hedge, the cutting height is easily adjusted because the lever was positioned too far laterally ).
The mower is very compact and can be moved on the lawn so easily. The lateral "threading" also gives good cutting performance at lawn edges, hedges, bushes etc .. The engine pulls strongly through and also with damp grass no problems. About the quality of the knife can not say anything yet, because the mower par inserts has yet to complete -> I will then add to or. The grass is almost completely absorbed, so that one hardly has reworking. The only complaint from my perspective is the grass box:
- The openings are so large, the small dry parts simply by flying out,
- The basket is fairly rugged what emptying complicates something (we have those lawn bags and then transfer it to the grass catcher is quite annoying)
- An inspection window for easy identification of the filling level is missing,
Conclusion: overall recommendable Elekrorasenmäher with potential for improvement when grassbox
Update May 2014: now the mower is good 3 months in use, and I have to say there is nothing to complain about! The only thing that bothers me still is the grass catcher. Particularly positive is the very good mowing, the mower through wet grass, as everything is absorbed and not clogged. The cutting height adjustment convinced at the predecessor of the Bosch Rotak we had sometimes the problem that the amount pretending independently if, for example laterally along mows at a hedge that is happening here no longer, fortunately!
