Question 1

how do you change the cutting height?

Accepted Answer

Unlike using an external lever, you have to flip the machine and push each rear wheel into one of three slots to give you a 20, 40 and 60mm cutting height.  It was awkward and my machine was clean when I tried it- with wet grass in the mix; what a pain.  It would only really matter though if you regularly changed height.  If you just have one setting then it’ll be fine.

Question 2

can't see anywhere the cutting heights ? my current push mower cuts down to 12mm but I'm fed up pushing and find hovers too heavy and unwieldy

Accepted Answer

Its 20 - 60mm. I bought this for my Mother and she says the shortest one is too short after the winter but just right in the summer.

Question 3

is it cordless

Accepted Answer

No it is not cordless, but it's a very good mower.

Question 4

Difference between “stand alone” and “32-12” ?? in the specifications???

Accepted Answer

So, after being baffled with the question myself - i ordered both.

Key differences:
32 12 that I got - was manufactured in 2015, 32R in 2018. So seems 32 R is the later version
32 12 - does not have the 2 holders for the wiring wrapping when not in use. 32 R has them
32 12 - says 95 db noise level, 32R - 94 db - no real difference here TBH
32 12 - Made in China, 32 R - Made in Hungary
32 12 - Has a Green bin for grass collection, 32 R has back.
32 12 - says weight 8 kgs on the actual machine, as opposed to 6.1kg, advertised on Amazon.

On both - you can extend the 2 year warranty to 3 years by registering the product on Bosch website.

Hard for to say which is better - but Id only chose 32 12 if it came cheaper than 32 R - otherwise go by the latest tech...
