BOSCH AVR 1100 Verti Cutter Lawn Raker

Product Information

The collection box on the Bosch attaches to the rear of the rake (like a lawn mower), this is the reason Bosch can achieve such a large collection box. The ‘Jet Collect’ system on the Bosch does seem to, perhaps, just make it the slight winner when it comes to collection of wet leaves on the lawn for example. They mention that it is very powerful, does a more than adequate job and that the holding container is sufficient. I first used this back in mid summer on a hot and dry evening on a medium setting, within about 3 feet the collection area of the device was full of thatch and I could see behind me some lines in the grass where the device had done its job. well, yes I think it does for people with smaller lawns and limited space for storage with the ability to get the job done without emptying the collection box as often.

In fact, I didn’t even clear them out, not until I did this review anyway and remember, I have used this model every year for the past 4-years on my own lawn, at least twice a year. The extra features like the Bosch Powerdrive and the ‘Jet Collect’ system are not just nice to have features but features that improve the performance of the lawn rake and make that job that little bit easier, besides you want features that will help achieve a lovely looking lawn with least amount of work and effort.I used it this afternoon to help pick up fallen leaves from the Lawn, to be honest it was still too wet and soggy to do this, but with an afternoon off and the prospect of poor weather again over the coming weekend I felt this was the best chance I would have to do this. I have put an Ariel view of our front lawn to give you some idea of the size of lawn that this rake copes with. This is scarifier no3 that I've tried so far - the two cheaper ones I bought were hopelessly underpowered, so this was the last ditch attempt at getting the lawn back to grass. I wondered if you would have time for a quick bit of advice – we live in a new build, and we have a back garden of c.

When you mow the lawn, and take just the top off and leave it medium-longish then go over it with the machine the flat bottom of the machine rides on the top of the grass and it is a grass rake to get out all the rubbish out (which it certainly does) and not touch the ground. Remember this rake has a large 50 litre collection box so less stops to empty helps to get the job done quicker. The Flymo has 6 height adjustments (compared to only 4 on the Bosch) and there is a single height adjustment lever on the back wheels of the Flymo.I suspect the ALR 900 will be sufficient, and since it’s highest setting 10mm is higher than the 5mm of the AVR1100, this would do the trick on the leaves.

With my expert reviews and detailed videos, you can see the lawnmower in action and get a better understanding of what the mower has to offer and how well it performs. The Flymo Lawnrake Compact 3400 does have a collection box window, this is a nice touch – well done Flymo. So, whether you're looking for a battery cordless, electric, petrol, or robotic mower, you can trust in my expertise to guide you towards the best option for your garden. The double folding handle system and stackable collection box makes for exceptionally compact storage.Toolstop Limited is a credit broker, not a lender and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 737231). If your chopper is missing one of its screws, make sure you replace it with this high quality replacement to make sure everything is safe and secure. When I'd finished, I treated the lawn with a moss killer (no rake), Because any bits of moss I had missed would have spread spores all over the place. I strongly recommend that you watch a couple of YouTube videos on the assembly and usage of this piece of equipment.

Storage of the rake is easy, it collapses and I keep ours under a work bench - storage is an important consideration as I probably only use this on a single day a year.There is also a very handy and well positioned central handle that makes carrying the 10 kg rake to the garage or shed very easy. Other reviews say the tines become unraveled and fly off but I have just done a large area and besides the tine ends being shiny there is no wear. I did purchase spare tines at the time of purchase as other peoples reviews indicated they were easily broken. Great piece of equipment, can just do a light scarify or it can be set deeper to almost prepare the surface for re seeding.
