I bought this mower as it looked good an is lightweight first use of the mower one of the grass diverted fell off went under the mower and was destroyed. The part can't be replaced, next problem is rge grass box, very poor fottind together, contacted Bosch they were no help at all.
My advice is buy another make which I cannot afford to do.

Cheap New Version Of A Good Mower - Avoid
I bought a Bosch Rotak 34 about 10 years ago which is as great. I bought another one last week and it’s awful - I’ve still got the old one waiting to be taken the tip and the deterioration in build, rigidity and performance is staggering. It’s like a cheap copy. Its really flimsy and broke with 15 mins of starting to use it. Avoid.

Dreadful Build Quality
I bought this to replace a worn out previous model, and was very dissapointed at the cheap build quality compared to my old one. This ones made in China which says it all.
Kept cutting out immediately after assembly and only ran when it felt like it.
Returned it to store for refund.
Would be better to buy a cheap unit from Aldi or Lidl with a three year warranty then scrap it when it dies.
Avoid.

Complete Waste Of Money And Appalling Customer Service
Only used this mower a few times before the motor failed "completely". Armature had disintegrated - can only be through poor manufacture. Seems to be a common fault and Bosch must be aware but customer service are no help at all. Mower is destined for the bin. Can only say - would never buy Bosch again!

Thin Plastic Not A Patch On Old Model
I bought one in July 2016 having owned an excellent Rotak 34GC for many many years of hard use. The old model was well made, robust,long lasting and efficient. So I made the assumption new one would be a new version to same standard. Wrong! Thin flimsy plastic, does not fit together well, especially grassbox which is poorly connected to the machine. A part fell off (factory fitted part) as I wheeled it out of the shed. The hole where the grass comes out of the machine into the grassbox is only half width of machine, on the old model it was full width so long grass will probably get stuck. Just not man enough unless you have a tiny little flat patch of very regularly cut grass. This gives Bosch a bad name and I will be very wary of their products in future. sad to say this, it was a name I trusted. I had not used it, so got a refund.

Don't Buy One!
This is the worst mower I have ever owned, I am suprised I too thought Bosch was a good make. Have had it for 2 years and it has cut out constantley until today it has gone completeley. I also agree with others that the grass collecting box is poorly designed and does not fit together very well. What a waste of money.

Do Not Buy This Rubbish
V poor experience with a poor cut but the quality is awful - within two years of use the plastic height adjuster broke and the cable has become brittle - it hasn't been over used as I have a small lawn
Save your money and don't buy a Bosch mower
Disappointing
Flimsy plastic, cut very poor. Says for a medium lawn but lead is only 10 m. This is ridiculous. Tried to register on line but keeps logging me out. Do not buy this.
Rubbish , A Waste Of Money
Bought the Rotak 340 ER Oct 15, thinking it was made by Bosch and a quality product. Big mistake !
Purchased it from our local B&Q, having only a small garden assumed it would be adequate and suitabley sized.
Used it 2 times till the end of the summer and stored it away, used it again early May 16 half way through the motor burnt out. Rubbish product, made in China don't buy one,cheap is no the best !
Managed to loose the receipt so B&Q don't want to know.
Q&A
I Have A rotak 340er havinf pressed the safety button the motor will either not start or be intermittent.
Having stripped the handle triggers and cleaned and used electrical cleaner spray the motor will activate (sometimes) but will not work on the triggers.
Is a new switch required?
Used Rotak 34 for first time tonight. Back wheels kept falling off. When I phoned the supplier I was told I had not attached them properly however according to the instruction leaflet they should just click on. What, if anything, am I doing wrong?
The cordless Ergoflex model is much more expensive than the Bosch corded 34. Is it worth all that much more?
How do I lower blade for a shorter grass cut? The blade is placed up too high within the mower. Have lowered wheels as far as possible. Thank you
thank you for your advice, I will try using washers under the blade - regards
