The manufacturer speaks of effortless operation ", of which I could not convince myself.
The first building already showed me that you had good ideas, but they could not implement.
The linkage consists of two main parts, which are connected in the middle.
Here, Bosch, provided for each side, a screw thread with split and a handle.
By dividing the thread has the advantage that the unscrewed screw from falling but depend on 2 threaded part remains. Unfortunately, the retaining screw is very fiddly and you need a lot of patience to connect securely tighten.
At the bottom junction, the lawnmower, there is a quick-release unit.
It works just as on a road bike, you just have a lever upset so that the connection screw is loose. Unless a great idea but unfortunately still not enough clearance around it to fold the retaining rod.
Unfortunately, the further screwing the connecting screw is also very fiddly and costs a lot of nerve.
In other manufacturing, there is a reasonable handle is in a few seconds or screwed on.
If you now folds the linkage together, one notes that it is very shaky on the one hand and is just the second over the handle from the lawnmower. Thus a pleasant wearing the mower is only possible if the linkage is expanded. As the lawn mower but is then very long, you can wear it just bad in the basement or you benötig enough space in the shed.
The collector is the next problem. Bosch had the idea that you can disassemble it into two parts, thereby saving parking space. Unfortunately, the connection between the two parts is very poor solved.
Unilaterally the parts is put together and then secured by two retaining clips. For fixed-press the retaining clips I'm afraid the basket to break broken. I do not think you should do that more often. So I removed the filled pot for the first time, a retaining clip has solved. With a few simple steps I was able to collect the scattered grass again.
The AGR-certified Ergoflex system "I can not. My old convince mower has a metal bar over the entire length of the handle and is easy to operate from all sides.
The ARM 34 looks completely different. There are four buttons which you have to keep either pressed after you have started using the safety switch the engine. The problem is that you have to keep this switch pressed very far inward, so that the engine continues to run. Even during normal driving straight I have to hold down deep enough trouble his head. Correct annoying it is but if you have a lot of rough edges in the garden.
Once you can not reasonably available to the lawn mower in a line, you lose contact with the buttons and the mower stops.
The power cord is plugged into the center handle and Bosch has built two good hiding strain reliefs below the handles.
The strain reliefs are so well hidden that I have not seen them and they are also mentioned nowhere.
Thanks to the comment by Mr Jörg Weller I have found them.
Now for the good news:
The mower cuts the grass very well and is easy to transport in, good sized pot.
The volume is not too loud but of Quiet can not speak.
Since I only have a small garden and the lawn mower, make to use, in the basement has, I can the Bosch Universal Lawnmower ARM 34 "recommend limited.
I prefer, I can quickly and reduce a mower to and consumed the little room, because you can set it upright on the grass box.
I hope to have helped them in their purchasing decisions!
Should you have questions, then I'll do my best to answer. Write me a comment.
