99 including shipping! This mower on wheels is much better for that. I like this much much better. This Bosch one is so much more quiet; I happily use this in the evening, knowing that it won't disturb the neighbours.

Dutchy

Just take your time and get an extra pair of hands to help out if you think you need it. It doesn't fold for storage quite as nicely as the easyglide - I hang the whole thing from a hook to save the faff. I even get something resembling stipes! (more precision and patience required i am afraid).

The box is chockablock whenever I empty it so less trips to the compost bin, and I dont have to keep puling grass out of blocked vents. As far as the grass collection bin is concerned, I didn't think assembling it nor assembling the rest of the mower was difficult.

I've not had many mowers, but can compare this Bosch Rotak 32-12 to a Flymo hover mower and a petrol mower I've had. It only took me 10 minutes in total, on my own. You really can't beat this little mower for price either; I got mine on offer for £49.

This Bosch mower is lovely and light; people may call it 'flimsy' - to me it's conveniently light and manoeuvrable. But in truth the easy glide is prone to clogging, doesnt sook up the grass very well and the plastic blade bolt eventually tightens itself into oblivion.

Those hover mowers need grass underneath for the air to push it up and glide; go over the endge and it drops, digging its blade right into your lawn. The grass collection is really good: I've just cut the lawn which was still wet after two days of rain, but the grass still gets compacted really well. I have always been a flymo girl, I think perhaps because the easyglide has the words easy and glide in the name then I thought that northing else would be a easy or as glidey. Of course the petrol mower I had was more noisy again.
