The Bosch Rotak 32R lawn mower is the smallest rotary, electric mower in the Bosch range. It’s designed for cutting small, urban lawns. It has a roller to give you stripes and lawn combs which Bosch claims help you cut grass right up to edges. We sent this entry-level lawn mower to our lab to test these claims.

How we test lawn mowers

20 May 2025

Grass cutting ability

Overall
Standard grass
Long grass
Rough grass
Wet grass

How we test grass cutting ability

We test each mower's ability to cope with cutting standard, long grass, rough grass, and wet grass lawns, judging how tidily it cuts the grass and what it's like to use it in different conditions.

Handling difficult terrain

Overall
Along lawn edges

How we test handling difficult terrain

Not all gardens are flat and obstacle free, so we test how the mower handles uneven ground, slopes, lawn edges, and how close to wall edges you can cut.

Grass collection

How we test grass collection

We assess how full the grass collector becomes before it needs to be emptied and how often we have to empty it to complete our cutting tests. We also assess how easy it is to remove, carry, empty and replace the grass collector.

Ease of use

Overall
Mowing around obstacles

How we test ease of use

We test how easy it is to manouvre the mower, carry and empty the grass collector, clean and store away the mower, adjust the handles and cutting height, and the comfort of the handles, controls and operating position.
