VonHaus Lawn Scarifier/Aerator/Rake Corded 1500W – 30L Box, 10m Cable

Basically agree with all the other reviews. Feels a bit cheap and plastic, but works very well. Long cable, too small basket. But for the price I’m very happy. The lawn looks vandalised now, but with 3-4 months and no rain im more optimistic to get a green lawn, after this! I overseeded… Good buy - tho not sure how many years I’ll get from it.

Excellent piece of kit and does the job well. I have given it four stars as I have a small garden and the mains lead is only 10.5metres long, and was still not long enough to do the job, so I had to purchase an extension lead. Why could they not put an 15m lead on it? Also the collection box is quite small so had to make frequent trips to empty it. Not really sure how this can be improved! For value for money it is excellent in every way

Very pleased with the quality of this Lawn Scarifier/Aerator. The rake drum works very well and soon fills the catch basket.Its also easy to change over to the scarifier drum which does a good job of aerating the surface of the lawn. The power lead is nice and long which is handy.

Superb little unit. I was torn between this and the more expensive 1800w version but after first use, for sure made the right choice. Easy to set up, very light and easy to manoeuvre and both the scarifying blades and spring tine rake work well. As everyone says, the waste basket fills super quickly but it is what it is, that's the job the product does..either use the basket or not, easy enough to rake up afterwards.

Worth the money. Very efficient at scarifying

Sept 2020. Arrived well packaged. All bits were there. I found the instructions a waste of time, not that you need a lot of instructions if you look at the two diagrams and you've assembled a lawnmower before. Firstly the negatives: As stated in other reviews the collection bag is too small. It fills up very quickly. I did a very small area and emptied it twice. The handle makes it top heavy and it may tip over, not when your holding it only when its left alone. The clips for the wires are not secure enough and pop off. Don't let these things put you off. 4 height settings which didn't seem to make a lot of difference when using the rake. Results were very good although not used the blades yet as we are short of rainfall in the south and the garden is very hard. Not no more noisy than my bosch lawnmower. Lightweight and easy to use and does the job well. Plastic so doesn't feel as strong as it might but I haven't paid premium money for something I will use twice a year with each blade. I'll probably use the rake without the box and rake up the thatch and the mow over the lawn to take up anything I missed with the rake. Folds down easily for storage. All in all I cant find any reason not to like it and it will save hours of raking with a sprung rake. UPDATE. Still not used the blades but fully raked my 180sq meter lawn today. I filled two wheelie bins. Machine handled it easily although I have been watering the grass as I am going to treat my leather jacket problem. Apart from the clips coming off I am very satisfied. I would give it five stars but the couple of niggles listed have made me mark it down.

Good Product grass box a bit small but we have lot of moss etc

For over three decades I simply cut my lawn to keep it tidy. It was only when I reclaimed a neglected bit of garden and turfed it, that I realised the rest of the lawn was looking quite a mess with more moss and weeds than grass. I did a bit of homework and realised that a thorough weed, feed and raking was required. I treated the lawn with a good 4 in 1 lawn care product and after three weeks It was time to rake. Well, after two hours of raking by hand I wasn't impressed with the results or the blisters on my hand. So, I bought this VonHaus 2 in 1 Lawn Scarifier with its 1500W motor, scarifier and rake attachments. It arrived two days earlier than expected on a Saturday morning so I was able to use it straight away. It was childishly simple to put it together. It seems well designed and built and should hopefully last for a few years. After I had assembled it I went straight out and started on my lawn which I'd just cut. The machine came with the scarifier drum fitted which is what I used. I set the easy height adjuster lever to level 3 and off I went. The machine is very light, weighing in at 8.5kg. The motor is no louder than an electric hover mower and is more than powerful enough to cut into the thatch and do its job effectively. I very quickly learned two lessons though. Lesson one, you are required to hold the thing back slightly, otherwise it will simply run away and skim the surface of the lawn. Lesson two, don't stop moving while the machine is running. I did, just once and it scalped a patch of lawn. I found the best technique was to tilt the machine back to lift the blades clear of the ground and release the power switch at the same time at the end of each run. I quickly got the hang of it. I was absolutely amazed at just how much thatch and dead weeds it pulled out of the lawn. I found I was filling the 28 litre collector box at the end of every twenty pace run and I very quickly filled my wheely bin. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase, I wish I'd bought one years ago. Now, hopefully I will be on course to getting a lawn I can be proud of.
