I have seen a Bosch that has overhanging fingers that draw the grass
into the blade. Dunno how well it works.

I have the Bosch Rotak 34, and find it very manoeuvrable on my
smallish lawns. Seems to manage to get to the edges of even the
curved sections.

Many thanks for the responses. The Rotaks are certainly an
interesting range and the side 'grass combs' appear to work well
according to the many positive online reviews. Unfortunately the
largest version is not really large enough and they seem to be of the
push type rather than power driven.
