AdvancedRotak 650, Lawnmower (RRP £269.99)

Winner of Best Buy Award from Which?

The new generation tools, including the AdvancedRotak 650, are the quietest high-performance lawnmowers Bosch has ever made, all thanks to Bosch ProSilence technology.

With its new Ergoslide system, the AdvancedRotak 650 means the user can mow with less effort but maximum control. The Bosch Ergoflex handles allow you to manoeuvre your Rotak with ease and achieve your task quickly while being kinder to your back. The new HOC (height-of-cut) system makes changing the cutting height of your mower easier than ever. A simple one button operation changes the height of cut from 20 to 80mm.
