BOSCH AVR 1100 Verti Cutter Lawn Raker

Product Information

The time actually using the machine is small compared to emptying the collection box (at one point I was emptying the machine every four paces), and removing debris that the machine did not pick up because I'd let the box get full. What I like is that you need to press the red button and pull the bar back at the same time to operate it.

The great thing about a lawn rake is, they take the back breaking work out of scarifying your lawn by hand and getting it looking great in autumn and spring. The downside is the that the collector box could be a bit bigger so it has to be emptied fairly regularly. In terms of width, it’s not bad at 32cm, not too small, not too large, and it has four different height settings. The collection box holds very light thatch and moss so sturdiness and strength does not seem necessary.

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. The electric cable isn't long enough for anything bigger than a small garden, however, if you have an extension cable for your mower, your already sorted. carbon steel blades that penetrate deep into the grassroots to allow nutrients, water and oxygen into the soil. The most up to date warranty information and full conditions can be found on Bosch's garden tools warranty page. This will help to keep a nice tidy lawn whilst encouraging growth as old dead material is removed which would otherwise stifle this growth.The advantage for the Flymo is smaller overall dimensions and the disadvantage is the relatively small collection storage.

The Patented Jet Collect system with 14 blades provides better collection, increasing convenience and saving time. If you’re looking for a good lawn scarifier/rake for clearing moss, thatch, and leaves, then the ALR 900 will be more than sufficient. My second run did not fill up the collection box too quick so it really depends on the state of the garden. I have stripped it down in case of a build up of grass, etc, and resorted to removing the main cover this week to allow more air in to keep the motor cooler, to no overall benefit.Although it "folds away for convenient storage" when not in use it will still occupy at least as much space as the box it arrives in - which is worth considering if you are short of space. Bosch have done this to reduce the storage space required for the collection box as it can be split into two sides when not in use.

The illustrations on the top of the machine tell you that overheating causes a cut out and you should wait 60 seconds. The system features special airflow inlets and stainless steel blades to offer quick and total collection of moss and weeds.

They mention that it is very powerful, does a more than adequate job and that the holding container is sufficient. I activated this when using the machine on its lowest setting when you can feel the machine bucking along as it flays into the soil with the death wheel.
