Great performance only used it on the top setting so far but I am amazed how much moss and thatch the machine can remove. I looked at the reviews for this machine before I purchased it and found them very useful in making my mind up. I did wonder about it being plastic but this proved to be a good point because it makes the machine very light to use and the build quality is very good . The old saying that it does what it says on the tin is very apt. I would recommend it to anyone

Excellent product, does exactly what it says on the tin. A bit fiddly to assemble and it takes a little while to master it, but the raker removes tremendous amount of moss and debri from the lawn. Do not let it spin while standing still, or else you end up with a hole in the ground! The only negative comment concerns frequent thermal cut-out of the motor.

Did the job. Impressed with ease of use, and how light the machine is. Good at collecting the removed material. A tip, though - make sure you are pushing the machine before you start the scarifying action, and continue to push for a few seconds after switching off. If you don't, you will dig a hole in the lawn.

Seems to be doing a splendid job so far.

Great bit of kit will be interesting to see how long the blades last does a brilliant job as long as the ground is not too wet

So pleased i bought this machine. Appears well built and yet light to use. Got over 50 black bins bags full of moss off in first use. Wish i had bought such a machine years ago.

Asolutely brilliant piece of lawn kit. i got 4 full (1 tonne size bags of moss) not weight, out of my lawn in first day. Because of so much i left the collector cover off and collected it all with running over it with my petrol mower- it was so much easier than having collector on and off as it filled so quick. i shall do at least twice a year from here on, now onto airiation and some reseeding for the first time- excellent!

Excellent product, good power to get through thick moss. Amazing how much it picks up. Made our lawn look much better.

Looks good and seems to work okay, used it for the first time last week, it did a good job

First class piece of equipment much better than the original b&d lawn scarifier.

Have recently used the lawn raker and the amount of moss and weed removed was unbelievable! Medium setting quite adequate. Very sturdy and well designed. Be prepared to empty the box very frequently or leave it off and rake up afterwards. An excellent product and would highly recommend it.

It simply does exactly as described, a very good lawn raker and/or scarifier.

Great product for the price especially when compared with petrol models, surprisingly powerful so use carefully, but gives great results.

I found this unit easy to set up and use. It performs very well on all settings and is the best electric model i have used to date. The only downfall is the grass box and that is because it is to small and fills very quickly. I used it without the box and collected the grass after. It is best to start off on the lowest setting and increase untill you find the right level.

Brian 28/03/2012 12:49:40

I only use it on the highest setting pulls out all the thatch and moss,could do with a bigger grass box though as it soon fills up

J 28/03/2012 11:28:05

Very good pulling out the moss, and clearing dead grass, but sometimes almost too powerful and can damage the grass roots, use with care and it's very good.

Only used it the once so far, but seems very robust. certainly more impressive than others i'd seen in most shops. Made very light work of the job in hand - very impressed. Would echo some earlier comments re using it on the highest setting to start with, and only lower it on well established lawns. everything present in the box, and quite easy to assemble. Does exactly what it says on the tin! Recommended.

works well so far. Does a very good job of collecting everything and packs it into the grassbox. Surprisingly lightweight being constructed almost entirely of plastic so important to avoid any roots or hard objects protruding form the ground. Unsure if it's possible to replace metal cutters when neccessary? Overall it does a good job and leaves a very clean finish.
