Bosch Cordless Lawnmower CityMower 18 | 18 Volt, 1x battery, cutting width 32 cm, lawns up to 300 m², in carton packaging

I’m MOST impressed with this mower. My lawn isn’t that large (30 meyres square) and the battery will last for two mowings and strim the edges if I choose to be fussy with my matching 18 volt Bosch strimmer, as it cuts pretty well at the lawn edges. I would have preferred a shorter cut for midsummer mowing but for my purposes (deterring moss and weeds) the highs set are good enough.The biggest fault I find is the long handle temps me to lift the front wheels off the ground. A little care over comes this.My advice for a town gardener is “GO FOR IT !!!!!!”

I haven’t cut grass for quite a long time but had memories of hating the experience largely due to messing about with cables.This Bosch CityMower is like a breath of fresh air and FREEEEDOOOOM! I’m dyspraxic but putting it together was fairly straight forwards and no problem to do it by myself. It weighs just around 9kg and its easy to maneuver. The fact it hasn’t got a cord means its possible to whizz up, down, round and round at will and not get yourself tied in knots – and of course there’s no danger of accidently cutting through a wire with 240 volts flowing through it.The battery is the 4Ah-18v and can be fitted to other devices, such as the UniversalGrassCut 18v-260. The battery weighs about 630grams. It can take several hours to fully charge.The mower is reasonably quiet too – as much as a lawnmower can be quiet – the pitch doesn’t hurt my sensitive ears.I’m really pleased with the CityMower and I no longer dread cutting the grass!

Bought this to replace my greenworks lawn mower. So please that I did!I already had three other bush battery appliances, so I chose this mower deliberately as it would be able to share the batteries as well.Ergonomically it is really well designed, multiple buttons on the comfortable handles so that you can change grip and go around corners without any risk of losing power.The cutting heights are absolutely fine for me, a big improvement on the green works with which I could never use the lowest setting because it would just scrape the ground because of the plastics at the side.Cutting power is really crisp and easy. The edge of the mower really is the edge of the blades you can cut really confidently. I’ve also noticed that I need to strim far less at the edges all around the obstacles because this mower is sucking in more of the grass to be cut as well.The only small downside to this mower is that the capacity before it needs emptying is perhaps a tiny bit small. But in all honesty, for all of the other advantages, this is a very minor hassle, and if I have to empty it a couple more times for the sake of a really easy cut, then I’m fine with that!

We have been using this lawnmower for a year now and so far have been happy with it. It’s easy to manoeuvre, quiet, and only clogs up when the collection box is full.We have a few extra smaller batteries for the hand held tools (which are compatible) but found that the included battery stores enough charge for our needs (around 30 mins).At its price point it could do a with a bigger collection box and also a less plasticky build, but all in all – it’s a good product.

Cut the back grass right out the box to try it out and hadn’t even charged the battery. I’m used to a Flymo so comparing to that – fairly quiet (can talk over it), 99% less cleaning up of sprayed grass cuttings, no dancing around cables, light weight and easy to maneuver about, gets right to the edges of our wooden planter so no need to strim along it and strip the paint. I see alot of people saying it doesn’t go short enough? I didn’t realise just how long my grass was until I went to 30mm, plenty short for an average garden I’d say. I’m looking forward to using it again on the front.

My previous cordless lawnmower broke this was a G tech I had it some years when I look to get another one they had change the design and mainly the battery was completely different so I have two batteries that I can’t use and the new G tech is going for £500.I came across the bosh city and I got some bosh tools so I thought the battery is there get the bosh. Only to find out that it use a different type of Bosh battery. So I really don’t like sending things back so I am getting the needed beattery. Looking at battery tool I noticed the Ryobi use one battery for all there tools. So from now on any Cordless tools I am getting as got to Ryobi. Should have looked hard before settling for the bosh. So I bashing the bosh. Don’t get me wrong bosh is a good make. But Ryobi one battery for over hundred tools I have already put some in my basket.Four days after getting my bosh lawnmower and then having to order the battery I was able to use it this morning. I have a small garden and after the dry spell I have planted some grass seeds where there where patches so it’s been three weeks and good grass growth since l last mowed the lawn. The Bosh wized through it like hot knife through butter it was so quick I could tell you how long it took maybe five minutes. So I have uped the star rating to 4 from 2 .It’s also a very good looking bit of kit, with out the grass box it a very small.Overall it’s very lightweight machine. I can’t give it a five because the handle does not fold away and the lightness of the mower maybe a problem if you have rough ground and uneven ground to deal with. Very nice overall.

Mower was very easy to assemble, and once battery was full I did the first mow. 40 minutes of use and battery seems to have juice left. It’s my first cordless mower and for the ease of use and lack or a pesky cord, I love it. Only concern is that on the whole it does not seem built to last. Nothing ever is these days, but the flimsy plastic used for the grass box does not fill my with confidence it won’t break within a year. Despite being relatively light, picking it up with the built in handle feels a bit like the handle could break. We shall see, I’m going to register it for the free 3 year guarantee, hopefully won’t need to use it – I’ll update the review if I do.

Love it. My lawn isn’t that big and it won’t do it all in one go, so need additional battery or a recharge to complete.

Lightweight m/c easy to handle, although I wonder whether grassbox will retain it’s shape, over extended use, looks a bit flimsy.Had to be pressed into service cutting wet grass, which it did not like, also shortened battery life considerably compared to that advertised. My previous hovermower much more robust in wet grass.Need to wait for a period of dry weather to see if the battery life is as claimed, and looks as if my hovermower my be needed for wet weather.
