Our verdict
The middle Rotak. Bigger than the 32, smaller than the 36 R. The right Bosch corded if your lawn is between 200-400m² and stripes don't matter. Same cable-and-motor checks as any Rotak.

Buying second-hand
£25–55 used. Cable end-to-end check is the only critical inspection. Bosch motors are brushless and almost never fail; if it runs and the cable is intact, it will keep running for years. Listen for unusual whining (worn brushes); halve the price if you hear it.
