UPDATE - I have downrated because the catcher came apart after about one season. It relied on a flimsy plastic strip running along the bottom edge of the opening. Once this had come away, the catcher was unusable. It isn't critical as it is just as rake up the catchings, at least if you are doing a heavy scarify.I spent a long time researching the different options and I think this was a good choice. My lawn is 100' x 100' and was full of weeds. I put weedol down and iron sulphate a couple of weeks before scarifying (the recommended 3 days is not enough) and I was amazed that the machine lifted all the weeds and most of the moss - though it took 3 passes.Be aware that scarifying is only a tiny part of the work.

Very good piece of equipment and does the job extremely well. I was a little fearful it would rip up the lawn, but it took out what was required and meant the whole process from tining, raking, over seeding to top dressing was done in a fraction of the time it used to take me completing it all by hand. Bag collects all debris very efficiently, but just be careful it doesn’t get too full when tining, as it does understandably generate a lot of soil and can be quite heavy. No such issues when using the rake. The machine has a powerful motor and occasionally runs away with you, especially on shorter runs, as I only have a small lawn - a gradual increase in power would be helpful.

I bought this scarifier after deciding petrol ones were too expensive for personal use; twice a year. Assembly is a doddle ; takes about 10 minutes and you're ready to go. I have about 3/4 of an acre of lawn so thought the machine would be a its limit but it didn't even break a sweat. It was using the scarifying mode and has 5 settings depths and heeding advice I'd read online I set it to the shallowest depth (1). It is not an exaggeration to say it pulled out an IMMENSE amount of thatch so the clippings bin fills very quickly. Removing the collection box and just leaving the raked-out thatch on the lawn creates a huge raking burden and the best method I found is to have very garden waste bags

I had been mulling over purchasing one of these for a while and finally when I did I was really pleased with results. It certainly does pull a lot of debris out, but bear in mind it is a wide tool so it covers quite a lot of ground. The double of functionality (weed/moss and scarification) is really handy for lawn treatment either in the spring or autumn. I used it about four weeks ago and following reseeding and dressing of the lawns the results are excellent! This piece of kit knocks spots off my old machine! I was considering the petrol version for the additional weight in the machine, but it really isn't necessary for domestic use. I registered the machine with Alko online and you get a decent warranty with it.

Arrived promptly and in good packaging.Was easy enough to assemble although the instructions aren’t very clear, the diagrams leave a lot to be guessed.The rake attachment was excellent at scarifying (de thatching) the lawn. The other attachment which I assume is to aerate the lawn essentially dug it up, it looked more like I had ploughed a field. Luckily I used it on an area of compacted mud that I needed to seed so worked well in the end.Top tip, use on the very highest setting first (highest up from the ground) then work your way down, otherwise it’ll scalp even the most slightly raised part of the lawn.

The setting up instructions which are merely a lot of disjointed pictures could be better. I have only used the raker so far and it works fine, although is heavy to push (I am elderly) and the collection bag inevitably needs empting very frequently or else risks depositing mounds of moss/grass onto the lawn. The flimsiness of the collection bag is disappointing (solid plastic would have been far better) and provision of a power lead tidy would have been useful to avoid the lead tangling up. But so far it has done what it is supposed to do so fingers crossed.

I was reluctant to buy an electric machine as I always buy petrol power machine for a fairly large garden. However it is amply powerful. The only minor issues are mentioned in other reviews. It so successfully remove moss and thatch that you have to empty the bag every few yds and it does not work well without it because of a strong spring. Overall I wish that I had bought it earlier

Always broke my back with a rake but no more! I filled two wheelie bins full with moss that this machine raked up it was brilliant- I didn’t realise that I didn’t have much grass at all - was quite a shock at how bald my lawn was BUT Grass regrowing and increasing in percentage/ratio, so hopefully I’ll have a stronger lawn with moss losing the battle thanks to this machine

This is by a long shot the best grass care combi I’ve used.The large and firm fit grass box picks up and holds a lot of grass, similar to my power mower.Only criticism is you need to keep it as level as possible otherwise it can gouge a little too deep, but that’s the same with similar machines.......... go for it it’s a good machine.

Easy to assembly and use with 5 settings to suit the lawn requirements both on the scarifier and the rake. As the lawns hadn't been scarified for a while an enormous amount of moss & thatch was removed. best if you have a collection point at the end of each leg of the lawn- save excess walking and quickens the process.

What a machine!!!! I have a lawn approx 1/3 of a acre and this thing is effortless. Very powerful yet light so it's easy to push round. Great very sturdy grass box which is large too. My last one I was forever emptying it! Also it comes with a aerator blades which are very good quality. I am very impressed

Have neglected lawn for several years with regard to moss and thatch. Need to deal with 120 sq metres so after assembling decided to test with 10 sq metres. Absolutely superb result so now have to spend time on the rest. Would recommend this product to anyone!!

I am very pleased with the scarifier it worked very well, the width of cut is larger than the other makes I looked at.The unit is quite expensive but it scarifies and rakes which a lot of cheaper models do not do, all in all you get what you pay for.

Worked well in the heavy moss we had. Did over 300 wheelbarrow loads in the first day. Churned down into the soil after 3/4 passes. Only down side is the collection bag at the back isnt big enough. So used a larger lawnmower as a hoover.

Our lawn is full of weed and moss and this scarifier is certainly turfing them out although I find that I will need to do the job over a few months otherwise it will strip the lawn completely. Very easy to assemble and is a joy to use.
