Two ranges, one name, and a spare wheel
Bosch appears on five shelves: a cordless mower, a mains mower, a robot, a blower and a replacement wheel for its own machines.
Two things are worth knowing before reading any of its pages.
The first is that the garden line and the professional line are marketed as separate ranges with separate platforms, and they turn up on a marketplace as separate seller names. This site treats them as one manufacturer for the purpose of “one reference per brand per shelf”, because a comparison that gives a single maker two of nine rows is a catalogue rather than a comparison. Where the professional line is the entry, the page says so.
The second is the size of the mowers. The small decks at the narrow end of the mains and cordless shelves are genuinely small machines for genuinely small gardens, and on this site’s shelf they sit beside machines half again their width. Deck width is a dimension and the pages print it as one.
The wheel is the only spare here, and it names the machines it belongs to.
Carry handle, edge cutting, folding handles
A light machine with a carry handle and a deck shaped to cut close to walls — described in five lines and no figures at all.
Best for: A small lawn with a lot of wall and fence, for a buyer who will look up the figures elsewhere
3-in-1, 99 dB(A) stated, tool-free mode change
The only machine on this shelf with a published noise level — 99 dB(A) — and a tool-free function change.
Best for: A garden with close neighbours, where switching between blowing and vacuuming happens every few minutes
32 cm, 18 V alliance platform, 4.0 Ah included, 35 L, 25–65 mm
A 32 cm three-in-one machine with a fabric box, a mulching plug and a 4.0 Ah pack included, on a battery alliance spanning ten brands.
Best for: A small to medium lawn where the clippings should sometimes stay and sometimes go
16 cm, 100 m², camera navigation, 20–60 mm, no battery
A 16 cm robot for 100 m², wire-free by camera, supplied without a battery. The smallest machine on the shelf and the one that needs a pack buying.
Best for: A small, simple lawn, for somebody who already owns packs on this battery alliance
A genuine rear wheel for two named mower ranges, described in one line of four synonyms and no dimensions.
Best for: A Rotak or UniversalRotak needing its original rear wheel
