It does what it says and at a good price, major problem is the size of the collector. I ended up removing the catcher and spewed the stuff straight out onto the garden, I then used the mower to collect which wasn’t perfect but was good enough
Doesn’t take long to build a very simple takes about 510 minutes max
I did find it a little difficult to move between the height as everything is a little stiff and when you first use the scarifier, you’ll find that kind of moved it self initially do you have to hold it back to make sure you get in the right use out of the machine
I have a big problem with the waste collection. It doesn’t take long to fill it. It’s open not difficult to take off but you find you spell it as you do take it off a little bit disappointed that there is no cover kind of an afterthought as you don’t get much in the collection tray, I must’ve emptied it 20 wheelie bin full of waste and I don’t have a big garden. I know my garden needed doing but the time spent picking up meds from the open collection box is disappointing
I’m also a little disappointed that it doesn’t collapse, so you have to unscrew the arms if you don’t have a lot of room disappointed
Overall, quite pleased with the operation, disappointed with the information and usability
This is a great little machine and I should have bought one years ago.
Great value for money. So easy to use and does a great job
A good lawnrake with three height settings for the tines. It has a push button safety feature on the starting handle, so it can’t be started in error. However the collection box is poorly designed. It sits at such a high angle that after a short period the moss etc raked up, slides down and into the rotating drum. As such I had to remove and empty the box every 5 minutes or so. Having put down moss killer days before I used this on the lowest rake setting and it removed a scary amount of dead moss, grass clippings, weeds etc. Despite the collection box design I would still recommend this product. Being a household name I’m hoping there will be no problem in obtaining spare parts, an issue I had with my previous brand of rake.
Much less effort than a spring rake … and even more effective.
I don’t normally leave reviews but as this was quite a big purchase I thought I would. This is quite a nice product. Easy to put together. Seems to pull its self along with ease. Great at getting out the moss. Though on the first use it did pull out grass too but I think that’s only because it was the first time and that I had a LOT of moss amongst the grass. On the moss free areas it just pulled out the dead grass. You do have to be careful with the collection tray as one bump and it disconnects but it’s easily rectified. I found it best to empty the tray by hand as it was easier than trying to tip it into a bag. Overall I am pleased and I’m looking forward to having a lawn on top top condition!
Very good product, easy to use and effective, though the collection box is rather too small.
We only have a small garden but lots of moss and we are so pleased with this little lawn raker, it worked so well. Excellent product and very good value for money.
This item is so good takes all the moss out of your lawn easy
very easy to use and really helps to remove moss from a medium sized law
Bought to replace an old version. Definitely mor powerful, which is good. Certainly gets rid of (a lot) of moss, at its lower setting. Only dislike is the catcher. As I’m able to remove a lot of moss at a time, the catcher fills up very quickly. It would be better if the front of the catcher was also a bit higher up. Find that a lot of moss falls down between the catcher and the machine when I stop. Maybe a change to the design would help. Apart from that, it doss the job, probably as well as some dearer ones.
My only adverse comment would be the handle isn’t long enough and the catchment tray fills very quickly.
Having said that it removes dead grass and moss very well
For me this Lawn raker does exactly what I was after. I did need to buy an extension cable as 10M isn’t a lot (but of course this all depends on the size of your lawn). For the price I think this item is an easy buy/win. Fast delivery as normal by Amazon.
Easy to put together. The unit is small and light but plenty powerful enough to get two builders bags of old moss and debris from a 200m Sq lawn. Collection Box fills up a bit quick, probably need to scarify a bit more often!
The first one came with a defective grass catcher with one of the lugs turned inwards so it couldn’t be used. but Amazon collected the defective order and delivered another one which was OK. A good service overall from Amazon. I hope the scarifier turns out as good in use, watch this space.
What a brilliant piece of kit. Have been using these for years and they always deliver. Yes the collection bib fills quickly but it would do if there is a lot of moss to extract. A short cut of the lawn followed by a pre-rake on a higher setting say two days later then the final rake two days later still will give a good outcome. Well pleased.
I used to use a hand rake took me hours, this is sooo good, its easy lightweight and does it perfectly
Been after a Lawnrake for a long time,they are a lot better than a scarifier.
Easy to assemble
Lightweight
Easy to use
Not too big to store
Reasonable price
I used a basic manual lawn rake for a while and it was killing my back – not as young as I was!. I saw this and thought i’d give it a go. My lawn is really quite mossy and when I saw the size of the machine I thought I should have really bought something more substantial. But as it was, there were no worries, worked a treat. The only downside as I see it is the collection bag is a bit small. Maybe our garden is much mossier than most, but I was constantly having to empty the bag. The only other comment (and this is not a criticism of the machine itself) is how used to cordless tools we get. It was a bit of a pain dragging a cable around. But of course, I knew this when I bought it. I didn’t want to pay a lot of money for a cordless one to find it wasn’t any good. Next time though that will be on my list. Very happy with my purchase.
Easy to use and I really enjoyed seeing it lift the thatch! I can’t believe I just wrote that, but it’s true.
Super little addition to boost my back garden lawn to the next level. Amazing how much thatch/moss this removes. I looked at more expensive models but this does the job superbly. Very lightweight but powerful enough to get the job done.
Light and easy to use. Once you have set to the right height works well
Purchased in the autumn so early days but took a lot of the effort out of leaf raking lawn on the lightest setting. Looking forward to seeing what it will do on moss and weed control next year.
Assembly was a bit annoying but it was only a few extra minutes to fix the mistake that I had put the bars on the wrong side.
Managed to clean up the moss and the rest. My garden has been looking great for weeks!
Very lightweight and very easy to assemble . Did make light work of garden and am pleased Purchased
Bought life to my drab looking lawn. Combed up more grass cuttings than my mowe
Not had any problems but hardly had any use of yet.
Since spring 2021 I have had an ongoing battle with our lawn. Over winter moss had got a strong hold resulting in spending quite a sum of money on Weed & Feed & boxes of grass seed which helped however ive always been able to see a ‘brownish matting’ at ground level.
This lawn racker has stripped all debris out of the lawn and now I have a small mountain of garden waste.
An afternoon well spent and a rewarding job done.
Fingers crossed for a better looking lawn in spring 2022!!
So easy to assemble, 3 height settings, took 6 bags of moss off the lawn three weeks ago, the grass looks so fresh. Be patient the grass will grow back.
A little awkward to assembly. Very light and easy to use. Much easier than raking and picking up the debris by hand.
Should have brought one of these years ago. It arrived very quickly, easy to put together and does a great job.
I had only ver done my lawn with a hand rake and that was only once in a few years. So I started on the highest setting and wines down to level three, could not believe how much it got out.
Lawn looks a bit rough but soon picked up. The instructions recommended using it regularly, so I will use it every time I cut the lawn to start with.
Brilliant at shifting moss it will blow your mind how much you have . On the low set it cleared the moss and was ready to seed. Higher levels leaves the grass and shifts the moss . Well worth the money forget raking i
Lightweight easy to use soon filled my bin with moss assembly was easy but screws to fit handle to body were not in bag of parts but screwed into handles and hard to see
This is a good value scarifier that is reasonably well made for the money. It works well too, stripping lawn weeds with ease.
Easy to assemble easy to use. I love this. So much easier than a manual rake or scarifier. A couple of design flaws though, the handle is too straight and as a result you tend to bear down on it when the going gets tough and the basket is angled down towards tines so you can’t fill it to capacity. These things are irritating but having an easy way to scarify out weights the cons. For these reasons I have only given 4*
bought to replace my old b&d replace my old one just as good need to empty collector more often but placed bags at each end of runs so no toing and froing pleasure to use
Easier to insert bottom part of handle into machine before connecting top section. Front basket has a tendency to slip out of the notches hholding to scarifier. Very effective and good value for money.
Good for clearing debris and thatch from lawns. Not adviseable to use on thick moss with tines at the lowest setting. I burnt my motor out on the first one. Otherwise for general raking very good.
Basket fills in seconds and not practical to use without it in place as it just clogs. Best spend a little more on a raker that ejects to the rear leave off the basket and then lawnmower up the moss after.
What a beauty! Easy to assemble and put to work straight away with no problems I
I had previously used a steel garden rake to remove the dead moss following the lawn dressing preparation.
This lawn raker saved me hours of back-breaking work by doing an amazing job of raking the lawn with very little effort.
I was amazed at how much moss was removed from my lawn!
I would recommend this product with no hesitation.
This works a treat to scarify a lawn: we had a huge moss problem and this cleared it (except for around the edges). I highly recommend this.
I knew I had a lot of thatch in my lawn but didn’t realise how much until I put the Lawn Raker on it. Even on the highest setting (picking up leaves) it was ripping the thatch out quite easily.
Not sure how long it will last as the build quality is not all that brilliant and the wires that form the spring tines are really thin but as it’s an item you don’t use all that often, I guess only time will tell.
Used for scarifying the lawn and fit for purpose. Pleased to date, with purchase
The lawn rake came as an easy-assembly item, and was working within 30 minutes of delivery. The only drawback is that the grass (moss?) box needs frequent emptying. The machine is ultra light and is thus very agile.
Got to be the best thing I’ve bought in years and does the job would recommend it to anyone
An excellent piece of kit. Only comment is that the ‘Catcher ‘ has guards that fit over the wheels look a bit weak, Time will tell
This product is brilliant. On lowest setting has thoroughly removed all the moss – really quick and easy.
easy to put together and easy to use. When I used it first it was set to the highest setting and went over the lawn twice and filled a wheelie bin. I expected that and I expected some patches where it was more soil than grass so I had on standby a supply of weed and feed and lawn patch repair/lawn seeds. Previously I would rake the lawn manually and bring up less in three rakings than this machine did in one go. Looking at the result on the highest setting I will not be using the lower settings for a while. It’s a question of how much of your current lawn is grass vs moss and weeds.
I bought this lawnraker to scarify my lawn. Overall I am very pleased with it. It picked up lots of moss very efficiently. The grass box could do with being bigger. There were lots of toings and froings to the green compost bin. Also, when assembling the handle I had to have several attempts at getting in one of the screws. Having said that,I am very happy with the lawnraker.
Moss box falls off, and height adjustment is difficult to use
works well has 3 different deaths so gets rid of all the moss etc. Only disadvantage is the collection basket keeps falling off.
This machine is just right for my 160m2 lawn. The collection basket fills up very quickly and has to be emptied with almost every pass, but for the price paid and the amount of times it has to be used each year, this is a small problem. I found the assembly instructions difficult to say the least and they made it seem much more complicated than it was. I had greater success using an assembly clip found on YouTube
Makes a good job of raking the lawn, have also used it to scarify the lawn prior to over seeding with grass seed. A very good product.
Didnt expect a commercial unit
Didnt get one…!
However its amazingly effective and has done a great job on our lawn.
Tou wont believe how much you get out after only a few feet xxx
Does the job and at a modest price.
Ripped at least 15 bin bags of moss and thatch out of our lawn.
Had to empty it’s little catch bag every 2 minutes but you want bigger and more often used you pay much more.
Scared the moss out of a good sized lawn in no time at all. Its quickest to not use the collector and then hoover all the moss up with a lawnmower on a high setting
Saved my back and I was amazed at how much moss was actually in the lawn. I was horrified at first, no lawn, but it certainly has made a great recovery.
Wish i had the sense to purchase one of these years ago. Saves me hours of blood sweat and tears. If you need to remove thatch, you need one of these.
Thanks to lockdown, we’ve actually started taking an interest in our garden after 20 years of neglect – this machine is amazing – bags and bags and bags of moss later, and fast forward 2 weeks, and the lawn is looking positively lush – who knew!
Bought as a gift for my sister and brother in law who are great garden enthusiasts. They were absolutely delighted with the improvement in their lawn . Best gift ever.
I hadn’t raked my back lawn for years, and you wouldn’t believe the amount of moss and dead grass this picked up. It filled my green bin! It’s amazing how much of that stuff is in the lawn.
Great job. Does the business.
This is so easy to use. Other reviews talk about the basket being too small, yes it needs emptying regularly but no problem to do that.
I have ‘raked’ and scarified the lawn, unbelievably easy. It fits in the shed easily as it is small and easy to lift in and out.
Lead is quite long, I still need to use an extension lead but you wouldn’t if you had a small garden.
Wish I had bought one years ago!
Great scarifying and raking machine. Easy to assemble and use. My lawn had quite a lot of moss in it (so I thought). When used the machine, the amount tripled!! Clears the lawn of moss and weeds very well, allowing the lawn to recover. I have used all in one lawn feed following the process, so hoping to achieve a healthy green lawn. It is pricey but if you’re a perfectionist like me, you’ll be delighted you bought it after the first use.
We had treated our lawns with grass and moss weedkiller. The scarrifier did a good job of lifting all the dead moss and weeds out or the lawn. It performed surprisingly well to say it was the cheapest one available.
I did not know how much was under my grass. Honestly, out of a fairly good looking grass on first use I pulled a bin full or moss, dead grass and other bits.
I was considering going for the manual raker, but I’m glad I didn’t. This tool is amazing. It’s worth the extra money, you will save lots of time.
What a great machine! Does exactly what it should. Easy to use. If you want to get rid of moss and thatch then this is excellent. My husband says it one of my better purchases. Superb
Updated version of a lawn rake that’s been around for ages . Much better handle and gets out loads of dead moss and grass etc. Really only suitable for a small medium size lawn. The collection net fills very rapidly as the material produced is light and high volume but it’s not too much of a hassle. Overall good value though!
Used this on front lawn and managed to get an almost full bin of moss out of the grass! Grass looks better already. was easy to put together and use.
This was the cheapest machine I looked at but its performance belies its price. Fantastic worker and very effective. The bin was filling very quickly and rapidly disposed of the dead moss and weeds. Great purchase and glad I chose this one!
Own lawn hasn’t been scarified in the two years since we moved in, and from the looks of it probably never done by the previous owners either.
The machine arrived and was very quick to assemble and figure out how to operate. We put it on and immediately the basket started to fill-up very quickly. I’d read a tip to remove the basket and scarify, and then go over with a mower later to clean up. This didn’t work out for me because without the basket the cuttings were flying and blowing all over the place. I preferred put the basket back on and found that I didn’t mind emptying the basket every so often – whilst slightly inconvenient it also means you’re not pushing around mountains of thatch and moss.
The first time, I had to stop using it because the garden waste bin got completely full – even though I’d read other reviews I was shocked at how much thatch and moss came out! After that we overseeded and applied some lawn feed. A few weeks later we did it again (without lawn feed). This has resulted in our lawn looking the best we’ve ever seen it. Minimal moss/weeds, very green grass, growing evenly and healthy. We aim to repeat this again in autumn and hopefully each time the lawn will become even better.
This scarifier/raker is well worth the money. We’ve not used it as just a rake yet, but I’m sure it’ll make life a lot easier when we do. It did everything we needed it to with ease. As something that will only be getting occasional use, I hope it lasts but obviously it’s too soon to tell. It coped with the first pass without issue, and that was hopefully the hardest shift it’s going to have to put in.
By no means do I know much about gardening, only whatever we picked up from videos and reading during the lockdown but overall it’s been very easy and given us a very pleasant lawn.
Brilliant and addictive! So easy to use and very lightweight. It strips the moss really quickly so when you first get it youll need a garden bin close by to keep emptying the holder. I’ve lent it to other family members who are reluctant to give it back!
This has been really effective in removing vasty quantities of thatch, old moss, weeds etc from my lawn. Other reviews warned that the bag does fill quickly so needs to be emptied a lot and this is definitely the case. So if you have a large lawn I would suggest spending a bit more for one with a larger capacity but this is ideal for my needs. Make sure your green bin is empty when you start though, you’ll be amazed how much stuff this removes if you haven’t owned one before!
Came without screws to attach the handle, but I don’t like to return thing so Use my own screws.
A pleasant surprise that this little entry-level electric raker does a great job. I only use it on a dry pre-mown lawn to maximise its performance but we have a large lawn on a half acre plot and this electric raker is all I need to cover the lawn in fairly short order. I only recently purchased this so can’t confirm longevity. The only criticism is that the front bin is a little small and fills with moss every other stripe of the lawn. Possibly just because my lawn has a lot of moss, but it could do with having a bigger bin in my view, hence 4 stars.
I needed this machine to scarify a 170 sq metre lawn which at some points 90% was moss. I started with a manual rake and could only a small area per day. I got this raker within two days. It took an afternoon and the following morning to complete the lawn. The main reason was because the moss was so thick that I had to empty the catcher so often. I ended up filling 7 large black bin bags.
The only problem was that the machine was making a loud noise at one point so I went up to the second setting then had to go back over it with the lowest setting. It was really thick though. I did realise on the second half that you need to go over tough spots a few times to really pick the moss up. Not sure how it will fare long term as I’ve only used it once and I will use it for leaves in the autumn but It’s been great so far.
For the money performs really well. We have a medium garden and more than up to the job for the couple of times a year it will be used . Really pulls itself along with plenty of power, and amazing what what it pulls out. To do the same with a rake by hand would take all day
Does the job of scarifying the lawn well. You do have to empty it fairly often, but it is easy just to grab the thatch with your (gloved) hands and put it in a handy bin.
Arrived at 2 o’clock, 3-30 finished, couldn’t believe the amount of thatch it removed, one previous review complained about the number of times he had to empty the grass box, he’s right but I think future scarification will result in less.
Considering the number of times it will be used, I think it’s a great little machine for the money.
I was rather dubious this would do the job given its budget price but I have to admit it’s absolutely brilliant.
The basket does need emptying every few minutes but it’s no hardship when you see what it picks up.
Can be a bit aggressive so start off on the longer setting first and work down.
Only used it today so cannot say if results last etc
Would definitely recommend and buy agai
Great for the price. Small lawn scarifier but pulled a shocking amount of thatch and moss out of garden that didn’t look overly bad, I knew it was full of moss but this lifted two tonne bags of thatch and moss after about three hours of work. Easy to build and use, adjustable settings and you just move it back and forward to pull out the thatch. Takes a bit of getting use to and definitely some effort so not easy physically but not complex to learn and certainly 10x easier than manual king raking. The only thing is like other reviews I’d say the basket is pointless. We just scarified without it and raked at the end by hand as it rakes very easily when done with this first. Definitely wait until a dry day but well worth the money and will be easier to keep on top of now.
Good value for money, good price and does a good job. Can be difficult on uneven areas of grass. Goes a good job for the price. Much easier than than the manual rolling ones! The net that catches the moss does fill quickly and needs to be emptied often but shows what a good job this tool does.
Easy to assemble, lightweight plastic. Does a good job removing moss – far easier for anybody to use rather than the very demanding physical activity of manually raking. Good investment fo me.
This machine is small and has a weak motor, however it was enough to clear 160m in 4 hours of work. Picked up more thatch than it looked like we had. Really impressed with it, it’s very light and has a small basket which filled up with each pass, so added a lot of extra work. I would recommend this product to anyone who is genuinely patient and calm. I would not recommend this to anyone who is impulsive and heavy handed
I live in Northern England, clay soil, unkempt lawn full of moss. My self my isolation ambition to invest time in my lawn brought me to purchase this.
Previously half-heartedly manually scarified.
This was easy to assemble, I put it straight on setting 1 (max scarify), plugged it in and within 15 seconds had a bag full of moss. Unbelievable, the greatest labour saving device I’ve ever bought. After an hour I’d filled 2 big bins full of moss and thatch.
Tomorrow I’ll overseed, fertilise and top soil. Could not be happier with this product.
what a good piece of kit. i have a decent sized back garden and is overgrown with moss. the gd300 is easily put together etc. the adjustment to lower or raise the depth is slightly akward but once done it’s set. my only negative like what everyone else is saying is the moss collecter is a waste of time. i wouldnt bother with it. i was amazed how much moss and thatch came off the garden. i knew the garden was full of moss but didn’t realise how much. i cut the lawn as normal on the lowest setting. then started using the gd300 it was satisfying to see the moss/thatch get pulled out. a good buy without breaking the bank.
Arrived before the described date. Easy to assemble. Light weight and easy to use. After trying the different height adjustments it worked wonders on our lawn which was virtually all moss on no 1. I discarded the tray though and used my lawn rake as I found this easier and more effective. I am so happy with this produc
The moss gatherer was not useful as I have a small wall around my lawn. But really easy to use overall. Does a good job. It,s light to carry around my terraced garden. Fantastic value for money. Only costs what a firm would have charged me for doing the lawn once.
Wow!!! Definitely the best garden tool I have ever bought. I have raked the lawn intermittently over the years, a very time consuming job, but this machine made such light work if scarifying. I couldn’t believe how much thatch, weeds and moss I filled 2 wheelie bins and a compost bin with! A fantastic machine and well worth the money.
Nice and simple to use, not the simplest but not the worst assembly, I would prefer metal spring tube connectors as that would make it easy for adjustable heights (I guess that’s more a product development feedback).
The use is easy with different height setting on a dial that is easy to change. The collector is easy to attatch/detach but a bit on the small side. My front lawn is small (maybe 2 small cars size), this takes multiple squashing and emptying trips to the compost pile and it’s not even a poor quality lawn as it is in sunlight all day. It’s just down to the fact it’s a small front situated, open collector. When it fills up which is pretty quick, you need to squash it down or empty otherwise it falls back out and the brush has to throw it back in which inevitably goes anywhere but the collector.
When I get to my rear lawn (again not massive but a good size) as there is part shaded areas, it works well, it gets up most of the moss and debris I don’t want easily but at a painstakingly slow pace as it is full after 1 run back and forth.
It will do for now but when it has had it’s time and goes to the toolpile in the sky, I will invest (and I know you get what you pay for) in a product with a larger rear situated collector.
I was so shocked to see how much grass this little machine collects it really is well worth the buy. Very light weight and easy to assemble.
I have never scarified a lawn before and wondered whether this little gem would do the job. It not only pulled out the weeds, but raked like nothing had been raked before.
The grass has never been so green and the neighbours think I’m a qualified gardener. Thank you for such an amazing machine.
As it’s been a very wet Autumn I haven’t used it much. However when it has been dry enough I’ve found it excellent and a very effective lawn rake. Great for the price.
Pleased with this purchase, have recently completed the autumn scarifying if it lasts the 10 years the previous B&Decker scarifyer did I will be delighted.
This performed much better than I was expecting, the only negative i’d have and where it loses one star is the same as commented by others about the collector being too small and needing emptying too frequently.
For very lightweight machine this did a really good job. Bought on a deal so very cheap. Lawn now re- seeded and looks amazing. Great for the more elderly Gardner.
Real good scarifiers only thing wear gloves this a wolf in sheep’s cl9thing very powerful !
Use the high low setting to get best result it has turned my grass into a lawn I will repeat the process end of October so far the lawn is stronger better colour and growing much more even.
