Bosch electric lawn mowers: how to choose and use it correctly?

The Bosch Electric Lawnmower is a simple and affordable solution for mowing your country lawn. The devices of this manufacturer are as easy to use as possible, they are assembled mainly in the EU countries, which has a beneficial effect on the quality of the fitting of components. In the event of a breakdown, it will also not be difficult to purchase an electric motor and spare parts for a self-propelled mower - service centers operate throughout the CIS.

When deciding which electric grass mower is better to choose for a summer cottage or a personal plot, Bosch products can be seen as a smart alternative to Chinese brands... It has an affordable cost, is equipped with adjustable handles for more correct distribution of the load on the arms and back. Thanks to the collection of grass collectors, you do not need to worry about where the cut stems are dumped. What else do you need to know about Bosch electric mowers?

The Bosch electric lawn mower is a product of a German company operating since 1886. Today, the brand produces its equipment in dozens of countries around the world, maintaining high quality standards. But the European-assembled mowers are still most highly valued. Lawn mowers were not originally part of the company's product list. But In the last 30 years, quality electric gardening technology has helped Bosch become one of the market leaders.

Among the features of the brand's electric mowers, designed for mowing lawns, one can note the presence of a solid steel frame - the base that takes on the main loads during the operation of the equipment. All models have a plastic case, made of a thick and elastic material that can withstand quite intensive use. The electric motor is located under a special grill on the body, protected from grass ingress, overheating during operation. At the rear of Bosch electric lawnmowers, you can find attachments for securing the grass catcher. The container can be detached easily, which greatly simplifies its emptying. The blade for cutting grass is located in the lower part of the body, which eliminates accidental contact with the cutting element.

The Bosch electric mower uses a current with a voltage of 220V as a source of energy to rotate the cutting element. It can be supplied from a mains supply or a battery. The electric motor, when turned on with a special starter, starts the rotation of the shaft on which the knife is fixed. The operator can only direct and push the equipment forward, and turn it on the spot.

Unlike electric trimmers, lawn mowers have their own wheelbase and a handle that is attached to the frame. It is quite convenient to move them on flat, flat terrain. But when working on slopes, you have to drive the equipment parallel to the slope, and not climb it. The rotary mower supports adjustment of the cutting height, the knife rotates around its axis, and does not move like a scissor.

Several obvious advantages of Bosch lawnmowers with an electric motor.

• Four-wheel stable design. In most cases, the wheels have the same diameter and provide a fairly high cross-country ability.
• Ergonomic handle design. The brand has developed its own ErgoFlex system, thanks to which the load is evenly distributed during mowing, the operator's back and hands are less tired.
• Grass collector included. The capacity depends on the model and capacity. On average, it is about 30-60 liters, the tank can be rigid or collapsible.
• Compact dimensions. Bosch lawnmower models are easy to adapt to winter storage, do not take up much space in the trunk of the car if you fold the handle.
• Adjusting the cutting height. This feature allows the grass to be kept at a level that is considered ideal for a sports lawn or manicured lawn.
• Unconditional environmental friendliness. This type of equipment does not emit harmful substances into the atmosphere. This is important, since exhaust gases can cause poisoning in humans and spoil the ecology of the site.
• Minimal operating noise. You can mow and not disturb others.

There are also disadvantages, and it is better to take them into account right away. A wired mower is not suitable for summer cottages where there is no electricity. You will have to spend money on a much more expensive battery model or choose a trimmer. In addition, the wire is easy to cut when cutting, especially when cornering.

Of note are models of electric hand-held lawnmowers that do not have wheel drive, but are superior in performance to the trimmer.

It can be used to process up to 300 m² of lawn, optionally there is a function of mulching the grass.

For the correct and efficient use of Bosch electric lawnmowers it is important to observe the following rules:

• the recommended temperature range for equipment operation is from 0 to +40 degrees Celsius;
• reinforced housing and motor insulation does not require additional grounding;
• range of supported mains voltage - 220–240 V;
• before starting work with an electric lawn mower, especially after a long downtime, you need to assemble it, check the belt tensioner that drives the wheels of the equipment;
• almost all models do not have an additional wheel drive, movement is carried out by applying the force of the operator himself - he simply pushes the equipment forward at the required speed;
• it is worth periodically checking the screw fasteners, checking the sharpness and condition of the knives; most of the defects are easy to identify with a superficial examination;
• the grass in the mower can be thrown to the ground - sideways or backward, chopped or sent to the grass catcher; if there is a container, it should be emptied regularly as it is full; light mowers need this action more often as the container gradually begins to outweigh the weight and the front wheels are lifted off the ground.
