Says discounted from £149.99 bit inflated that, but cracking discount today
good motor and a larger cut than most low end mowers.

I bought one of these a few weeks back for £80. I'm happy enough. The best price I could find on the same size Rotak was £115, and £125 for the Ergoflex. Doesn't seem badly made to me; better than the Qualcast it replaced.

As previously: I believe the European made ones can be identified by black covers over the motors.

Bosch (the former owner of Qualcast and Atco) apparently makes at least some of its lawnmowers in the UK, in Stowmarket, Suffolk. You will have to check which mowers are made in the UK; possibly their Rotak range of electric mowers and their higher end petrol models.

The 32 is 32cm cut/blade diameter and the 360 is 36cm, so it does depend on your lawn size and needs.
There is some store specific model numbers and variants etc., as mentioned above, but I thought they were all named Rotak - not heard of Arm before.

Thanks , I looked at some pictures and tried to compare this with the rotak 32R and decided to just go with that because of the reviews available for that model and none for the arm 360, the tyres looked different as well so I assumed it was an older model hence the discount.

What's the difference between this and the rotak range ?
I can't find much information on these, is it just that they're older models and now discontinued?

Bosch ergo has had horn handles so you have two options to push and hold the trigger.
With the arm, you only have 1 point to hold to start. I have the ergo and it's awesome and the build quality is good.
As for the number like Ergo 43 or ergo 430 same as the Arm 360 or Arm 36 they are the same, just depends where they as sold
So B and Q will see the 360 and Home the 36
Hope that helps you
I have the rotak 43 with roller and it's class, best electric mower on the market

Looks like it's one of the cheaper Chinese made Bosch lawnmowers which very poor. If you find one of the European made ones (black cover over the motor) they are worth paying more for as they are made better and perform far better. In this size i think they are more powerful too.
