Bosch ALR 900 Metal Tine Lawnraker 320mm

Good value machine which is a significant improvement on previous lawnrakers i have used. Generous 50 litre collection box means you don't have to empty it every 2 minutes. 4 settings useful to ensure you don't rip the lawn up on first use and can build up gradually to full on lawnraking action. Build quality looks reasonably good. I would recommend this product.

Most impressed by this lawn raker, especially compared to the qualcast rubbish i had before. Power is king when it comes to lawnraking as my last two machines have burned out under normal working conditions. Great service from tooled-up.

Having tried my neighbours qualcast scarifier i wasn't impressed, it did the job but the grass collection was rubbish (they use a split box and flap design.) as i own various bits of bosch kit that have never let me down i chose this lawnraker on the strength of their reputation and wasn't disapointed. out of the box, assembly was easy, i set the level of the wheels and was off. Not particlary noisy or 'whiny' like the qualcast, robust, light and a really excellent and well designed grassbox. had my front and back lawns done in no time, pulling out loads of thatch and moss easily. the clever thing about this raker is the way it folds down for storage, do make sure you unscrew the screws fully, these are a clever two stage design, you unscrew to the end of the first stage, the second stage prevents any loss of the screw. the grassbox splits in two and sits on top of the raker. Job done. A doddle to use, light, powerful, made by bosch. Buy it!! You won't regret it.

ALR 900, only used twice so far, found to be very good. Extremely good service, from this company. Would use them again.

very good service,easy to fit up. the lead could be longer. the only down side to this product is having to adjust BOTH WHEELS for height adjustment!! but light and easy to use. good size grass box as reliability,its a bosch so it will be ok

Very good product, easy to assemble with a folding collection box. Best of all It collects a huge amount of moss. I found that after a few minutes of use, I had to empty the large moss catcher. Strongly recommended!

Does what it says on the box. We have a large lawn with a lot of moss that needed raking out after treating with ferrous sulphate. The thicker patches needed three or four passes to rake it all out. I ended up with about 1 cubic metre of moss in the compost bin after about 3 hours of raking.

Good product, does the job really well. The build quality is good. Poor instructions on how to assemble.

I already own a bosch rotak 40 lawnmower and was expecting a similar level of design and build quality. however, while perfectly adaquate, it isn't on the same level as the lawnmower. the grass box is considerably smaller and is difficul to fit. at 50l capacity, i have to empty the grass box every 2 or 3 passes - it is an adaquate size but only just so. I would not consider going for anything with a smaller grass box capacity. 320mm width is also suprisingly narrow, going any smaller would make scarifying the lawn avery slow job. the folding handle for compact storage is a none starter - yes you could do it - but the same is also true of every other electric lawn mower and scarifier on the market. good points - it is suprisingly light to carry, runs very smoothly, the tines would be easy to replace, scarifies the lawn well and is eaasy to operate. this is a perfectly adaquate lawn rake - but if the same level of thought and manufacturing quality had been applied to it as the bosch rotak lawn mowers - it would have been a great piece of equipment

At first it looks like a very strong and well built m/c , in fact its quite flimsy , there's a lot of movement in the start-up handle and the grass box is a bit awqward at times . Ajusting the extended handle is also a pain compaired to the flymo , look at both befor you buy..
