A great buy and highly pleased with this machine, my lawns were smothered with moss and I had spent quite a bit of time scouring web sites including all of the auction sites to make sure that I was buying a bit of kit that was capable of ridding my lawns of the carpet of moss.I had tried to tackle the moss problem with an electric Lawn Rake but it was over loading its capabilities and the motor was at the point of burning out..I must say that the Al-ko 38P proved to me on the first attempt that I had made the right decision and I was pleased that I had paid little attention to some of the trivial negative reviews,

I have used this machine a few times, so have found out its strengths and weaknesses.Of most importance, it is very effective at its scarifying/raking job - the engine is powerful enough to do the job thoroughly without stalling. You are likely to be amazed at how much moss and dead material it removes from your lawn.However, I have found it rather frustrating to use for the following reasons -- the engine is often difficult to start, despite following the priming instructions- the front wheels clog up with the extracted material, due to insufficient clearance on the inside edge- the engine stops as soon as you release the handle - good for safety no doubt,

my lawn had been neglected for about six or seven years only mowing it when need be,so i decided to take the bull by the horns and have a go at restoring it to its old glory. i started by looking for a good scarifer and after some research decided to buy the alko 38p combi care petrol lawnrake scarifier and i was not disappointed.I had it up and running within an hour of unpacking and boy was i impressed,it ploughed through the thach and moss in no time and i couldnt believe that there was so much build up over the years.The clean up took seven hours and when finished the lawn looked like a battle field but when i mowed it on a setting of one inch it looked a lot better and now after four weeks

Great little scarifier / raker ideal for domestic use.Easy to set up - though the written instructions are not as clear as they should be, but there is a good you tube video available that goes through it all. I bought the specified oil from Halfords - sold as motorcycle oil.Started after 3 pulls - and worked very well. Easy adjustment of height and easy to change from rake to scarifier.The collection bag is too small when scarifying - I left it off and then picked up the debris by running my mower over the lawn (it has a far bigger collection bag). In fairness every scarifier I've hired has had the same problem.

I am so glad I bought this scarifier. It took me nearly 2 whole days to scarify our lawn, which is like a football pitch, and this machine removed a small mountain of thatch. It’s very simple to use, I only had 3 negatives really, the first was the placement of the priming buttons. The buttons are a little awkward to get to as they are within the engines shrouding. The second negative is the handle is a little uncomfortable. But to be fair I was using this for hours at a time and this was the lawns first scarification in 6 years. The last is the collection basket size, it’s big, but it’s no where near big enough.

I've played around with it this last week after waiting for the lawn to be nice and dry. The aerator blades are pretty fierce and I only had them on the first setting, they also scarified at the same time. The raking cassette seems better for getting the moss off though and it doesn't disturb the surface of the lawn so much. For some reason the blade cassette is suggested for the scarifying and the tined rake is for the aerating...slightly confusing. All in all I'm very happy with the machine, it's well built and well worth the money.

This is a great little machine and, at Amazon price, unbeatable. Don't be put off by the time it takes to assemble, not that long and the instructions are good, and yes, the priming buttons could be more convenient, but forget all that; this machine does the business. Nothing I have found gets moss and thatch out like the AL-KO. Basket after basket, the lawn is cleared ready to get the grass going again AND come, the spring, I can easily convert it to a scarifier. You won't regret it and the lawn will love you !

Good bit of kit. Easy to assemble out of the box and started 1st time. Tricky priming mechanism but ok once you get the hang of it.I find petrol scarifiers very expensive and had only used an electric one before but this is worth the purchase for my medium sized lawn. Would benefit from a clip or holder for the back cover as I'd like to use it without the collector at first as my garden is covered with moss

Got it out of the box, though it was very cheap looking. A little tricky to start but once you've done it once or twice it's no problem. Took it for a trip around the garden thinking I've just wasted my money. Very surprised to see the amount of dead thatch and Moss it had lefted. Pleasantly surprised. I have a good size garden and it does the job very well, saves me hiring one at £30 a time .

I had an electric lawn rake which was doing a reasonable job of removing moss but thought I should step it up a gear with this petrol scarifier as there were some stubborn patches of dead moss. WOW this machine removed the moss alright and didn't harm the grass either only one little disappointing thing was when the air filter fell off after 5 minutes of use but was easily remedied.

Does a really great job as a scarifier, and also aerates at the same time. First time of use, make sure the collection box is off, because so much moss comes out of the lawn !!.Starts easily, and uses little fuel.Price good compared to other machines which could not do a better job anyway.

Nothing wrong with it's operation. Does what you'd expect. I gave it a 4 because I felt the instructions could have been simpler. I had to jump from one set to another to set up. Conflicting info re attachments. May have been a misprint. Overall, very happy with my purchase.

It does what it is supposed to do and is easy to use. The collecting basket is a waste of time as it fills so quickly, so much easier to leave it off and then collect the cutting with a normal mower afterwards.

Good machine, I did notice when I checked the oil, there was dirty oil on the dip stick, as I hate dirty oil, I over filled with clean oil and drained off to the correct level. Other than that, no problems.

My husband bought this for our lawn. He thinks it’s excellent and our lawn is much improved after using it. It removed a large amount of moss too. He was very pleased with this purchase
