It doesn’t make a massive mess of your garden. And the grass box provides plenty of capacity for small to medium sized gardens.

Featuring a 36cm cutting width, it’s designed for small to medium sized lawns. A 12m long power cable is included – there is no battery or petrol engine on the Rotak 36 R. The blades have a curved edge to lift the grass of the lawn while cutting and to help fan any leaves and grass cuttings into the grass box. The blade is made from quality steel resistant to corrosion and damage from wear and tear. The improvement in blade sharpness provides a better cut, but understandably it struggles with small twigs and branches. Height Adjustment Many people don’t mow frequently of course, in which case the higher blade settings are very useful. Use these when mowing to avoid removing too much grass at once, which can otherwise cause scalping and bare batches.
