1800W Electric Lawn Scarifier Aerator Rake 38CM Working

Chris Wood

A good machine but not perfect

It's a beast of a machine, powerful, and a good size. The scarifier works well, although, as another reviewer commented, the scarified material isn't directed into the collecting box at quite the right angle and so it doesn't get a chance to fill up properly. So I don't use the collecting box, preferring to rake the lawn afterwards. To be fair, scarifying tend to produce lots of material, and with other scarifiers I've used I didn't bother with a collecting box either as you end up stopping every few seconds to empty it.

Great piece of kit, read the instructions and reviews carefully

Now for the tricky bit..... read the instructions. Be gentle at first. I set off with the most gentle of aeration runs and within 4 meters the collection basket was full. I went another meter and it was over full leaving piles of thatch and moss behind. You do need to empty the basket every few meters the first time you use it (well at least I did).

Excellent machine

Well designed and built. It made a real difference to our moss filled lawn and was very easy to use. The pick up bag does fill quickly but with a wheelbarrow near it saves time raking.

Powerful and good quality

Made really light work of raking my lawn. Haven't tried the scarifier attachment yet but it's a sturdy beast and the motor didn't flinch when raking.

Superb machine

Quality built machine. Very easy to assemble. I’ve only tried it once as just purchased and it did a great job.
