My husband has been well satisfied with bosch products we have bought before, so we are hoping that this purchase will prove equally reliable. although it has had limited use to date, so far it has lived up to our expectations.

A very easy machine to assemble and simple to use. although of light weight construction it feels quite solid.

I have recently used my 900 metal tine lawn raker when i took it out of the box i dident think it would be up to the job but it proved me wrong. It is too early to say yet but it could turn out to be a very good purchase.

Arrived the day after ordering to my surprise. Picked this machine after a fair amount of research and having found bosch products to be pretty good. I was not disappointed it makes short work of moss and collected a large quantity of material. Just the job.

Arrived the day after i ordered it. perfect for what i wanted it for. it has made a big difference to my lawn and would recommend it. not the most sturdy of machines but it does the job no problems. easy to assemble and easy to use. very satisfied with my purchase.

I did a lot of market research before settling on this machine. i do not have a large garden but as i garden on a clay soil which is very moisture retentive, moss is an ongoing problem. A number of scarifiers/rakes on the market priced at around £50-£70 look very flimsy and their reviews non too promising either. I put my trust in bosch mainly because i have other stuff made by them (white goods)all of which is giving good and reliable service and so i decided to invest just a little bit more for the bosch alr 900. i hadn't previously orderede a lot via the internet but i found the tooled-up website easy to negotiate and ordering very simple. the bosch was keenly priced and the delivery from tooled-up straightforward and very fast. it takes about 10 minutes to assemble the rake and not at all complicated. whether you have or have not used a lawnraker before you will find this one easy to use. the grass box is very easy to detach for emptying and takes quite a load - good job its robustly made and well designed for ease of use as it is phenominally good at raking up the moss even in the very moisture retentive conditions i put it through. This is a machine that is very fit for purpose.

For small to medium sized lawns this machine is ideal it is easy to put the handles and the collection box together. performance wise it does not disappoint. This was the first time i had scarified my lawn which was laid seven years ago. For the first time i did not put it on its lowest setting but it still managed to clear seven full bags of moss and thatch from the lawn i had previously treated the lawn with moss killer. The lawn looks tidier and the grass is beginning to grow back. A good buy!

Was very happy with this lawn raker. easy to put together and light and very easy to manoeuvre. particularly impressed in the way the scarifications stayed in the box and no "leavings" on the lawn. could have done with a longer cable though.

Delivered quickly and performs well

The alr900 was bought to replace a previous bosch lawnraker i had for over 20yrs so it has a lot to live up to. So far so good, it has a powerful motor and the hieght adjustment option is a useful addition although its lowest setting acts like a rotivator so be careful. The folding handle is also a nice feature although it is still quite a bulky machine, similar in size to a lawnmower. The grass box is also a good size. Overall even though i have only recently bought it i have used it several times and i am very happy with it, hope it lasts as long as the last one !

Alan 26/05/2010 23:00:43

Only used it once so far but it proved how much my lawns needed raking! Quiet, efficient with good adjustment. Very good service from tooled-up

do not like the buttrefly nuts at the lower handle attachment points. They protrude to far from the main body of the machine.

Ken 26/05/2010 09:33:34

Fine bit of machinery, does an excellent job and as the blurb says packs what it collects very effectively - the collection box was so packed its moderately heavy and the bits don't just fall out - needs a fair shake to dislodge. I like bosch stuff!

C 20/05/2010 19:30:55

Assembly instructions could be clearer machine does exactly what it says very efficiently. Tines appear to be much stronger than my previous machine (power devil).

I was reading some forums about how to improve my lawn and came across lawn raking. I have a medium size uk lawn so decided to buy an automatic machine to make the task a lot easier. I eventually decided on the bosch. Building the machine was straight forward - attach handles, few clips and that was it. I followed the guides to start from the highest setting (4) and then work down to (2). I cut the lawn on the lowest setting first (1 bag front lawn, 1 bag back lawn). My front lawn has a lot of moss in it, so after going over the lawn 3 times (height 4, then 3, then 2), i ended up with 7 bags of dead grass, moss and thatch - absolutely amazing. The back lawn was about 4 bags but then it has a lot less moss and rubbish. One area i was worried about was a review that said the tines broke easily. I can assure you that's rubbish. I have a large oak tree which drops twigs and acorns like no tomorrow. The bosch picked all this up no problem and even when it hit some stones didn't have any problems. The machine gets dirty fairly quickly due to the debris it picks up so i just blowed off at the end with a compressor. I believe that "tining" shouldn't be done regularily so not a problem. So overall, really pleased. Good solid machine.
