Great machine
Lightweight, easy to adjust cutting height and simple to fold down for storage. Very quiet and cuts really well. Not sure how long the plastic frame will last but seems strong enough.

Reasonable quality, not as solid as previous versions and the 10m cable is frustratingly too short!
Quiet, value, some good design touches.Having to upgrade cable length is a pain and extra £20

Surprisingly disappointing
I bought this mower to replace a previous version of the same, which had given many years of sterling service. However, surprisingly disappointingly, the AdvancedRotak 750 has a number of points I am unhappy with. The first is that it only likes cutting short grass, otherwise the grass doesn’t fill the grass bag (not a box like the old one), nor fills it as successfully as the old one, it piles up at the front. Then, taking the bag off to push the grass to the back allows the bottom of the collector to collapse, pushing the grass out! The collector requires a strut at the back to maintain its shape. The little ‘full’ window is nothing more than a gimmicky plastic flap that appears to work by suction, or when the collector is full – it doesn’t. Not needed. The mechanism for folding out the handle-bars works well – until you try to pull them out to their fullest extent. They won’t! Because the braided electric cord is too short, and only locks at the lowest position. Just as well I’m a short-ar**! The braided cord needs lengthening. As it happens, I can live with all these issues. What I am having difficulty living with is the shorter mains lead (than the previous model). I have to use an extension lead anyway, but the reel could remain on the path at the side of the lawn when I am at the far side, now the machine drags the reel onto the lawn, too far to make for comfortable mowing. The mains lead needs to be longer.The collection bag simply hooks on, although some buyers seem to have difficulty with this!? Mowing height adjustment is also easy enough. There is a cover to replace the collection bag if you want to return clippings to the lawn as a mulch. It doesn’t come with the machine, although a part order number is included in the picture guidance. The spare parts internet address appears to be www.bosch-pt.com. Changing the blade is as straight forward as the older model. No problem.Personally, I find this machine has some drawbacks, compared with the older model, although it still cuts the grass well. Unfortunately, on the older one, I burnt the motor out, after all those many years.

Chomps through the grass
Bought this mower for a medium to large lawn. Quick and easy to assemble. Did a first cut of the year a couple of weeks ago and it chomped through some damp, quite long grass when on its highest setting. We like the large number of height settings which are easy to change. Grass box holds a lot, though quite heavy when full. Handle has a useful adjustment and folds easily for storage. Some people have complained that the cable isn't very long, but that's easily sorted with an extension reel.
