BOSCH AVR 1100 Verti Cutter Lawn Raker

Product Information

When looking at a product of this type, it’s good to compare it to something that claims to be a similar product. I decided to compare it to the Flymo Lawnrake Compact 3400 Electric Lawnrake to understand what makes either of these electric rakes stand out in terms of performance, build quality and value for money. Both the Bosch and Flymo are of a similar price and size (32cm and 34cm rake width), both use a cylinder rake, however, the Bosch has slightly more power at 1100 W compared to 750 W of the Flymo.

As these are removed, the plant is stimulated to develop new growth from the true plant crown. The lateral growth of the turf is then minimised and the new growth is more vertical. This ultimately redesigns the turf canopy, opening it to allow for improved water penetration, soil gas exchange and a drier environment, reducing the likelihood of leaf diseases. The newer plant growth is healthier and more resilient to both biotic and abiotic stresses. MTD scarifiers are the ideal way to rid your lawn of thatch and moss, pulling it out to leave the roots room to breathe and grow, allowing water and nutrients to permeate the root mass, and improving the general health of the turf.The compact size really will make lawn care much easier and really makes the entire experience much less dependent on you struggling with a heavy over sized lawn rake. Is it smaller and lighter than the Flymo? well, smaller yes, but roughly the same weight. The integrated collection box does make the Flymo smaller for storage but the comprise is the smaller collection box and the need to empty more often. Bosch have tried to compensate for the larger box by making the collection box dismantle into two pieces for smaller storage. Jet Collect’ system – This is innovative from Bosch, the drum has profiled air inlets that helps to not only make the collection of thatch, moss or leaves more effective but also the addition air flow pressure helps to compact the debris into the drum preventing clogging and increasing the amount collected. To give you some guidance on which type of customer would suit this model best, below I’ve got a list of the categories they would fall under: Creates a better root system: The process of verticutting encourages the grass roots to grow vertically rather than out to the sides. A vertical root system grows deeper into the soil, leading to lusher and stronger grass.

Only 4 height settings. This is a shame as most of the Bosch’s competitors have at least 6 height settings. Verticutting your lawn is incredibly important and beneficial to its overall health. As we have already established, it removes the layer of thatch from the lawn. So, to summarise, there is a distinct difference between these two important turf maintenance operations. It comes with both verticutter and dethatcher attachments as standard, making it easy to remove built-up thatch and moss from your lawn. Find out more about the benefits of scarifying in our blog post. Below I’ll be detailing all the features and functions of the Bosch AVR 1100, both good and not so good and then comparing to the Flymo so you understand exactly what you’re getting for your money. Main Features:It lets you choose to rake from anywhere between +10/+5/0/-5 mm with 4 separate raking heights. Just make sure you don’t set it at the shortest setting from the start when the lawn has significant growth, instead start at a much higher setting and gradually work your way down. This will help prevent scalping of your lawn.
