BOSCH AVR 1100 Verti Cutter Lawn Raker

Product Information

This has given me the ability to not only recognise what makes a good lawn mower, but also to help you choose the perfect garden tool for your specific needs and requirements. I set mine now for the second level down for the first pass and the second pass, I drop it a further level and this removes moss without over working the rake on the first pass. Place the upper part of the grass catcher in the rear groove of the lower part and join the two halves together. The on and off switch in a lawnmower enables the operator to start or stop the engine by completing or interrupting the electrical circuit.

It worked brilliantly; at its lowest setting it removed all of the moss and thatch - 19 big bin bags of thatch and moss - around 150 kilos!Firstly, before I dive deep into what I like about it and its faults, yes, it does have a few, but would say for small lawns, it is probably one of the best, if not the best electric scarifier currently on the market and it does a fantastic job at removing all that thatch and moss.

The jet collect system is an innovative drum with boron steel blades and airflow inlets quickly and completely removes the layer of plant debris/moss from the lawn. The grass box on the Bosch AVR 1100 does seem to be a little flimsy which is surprising for Bosch, having said that it does not seem to affect the performance in any way.It has four height settings that are easily selected by adjusting the height of the front wheels with the two levers.

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.The Patented Jet Collect system with 14 blades provides better collection, increasing convenience and saving time.
