Safe Intelligent Design
The GD300 features a safety lock-off switch that will turn off the machine as soon as you let go of the handle, as well as a simple cable management system to help prevent the cable getting caught within the tool mechanism.

Before I bought this machine, it took me nearly 3 hours or longer to properly rake my lawn (50 Square meters), with this device it took about 30mins. The quality is excellent, a bit plastic y but it’s cheap anyway, good value for money.
so simple
Not keen on the moss catching box. It fills so quickly and has to be emptied every few seconds. I found it easier to remove the box and collect the debris from the lawn with a rake.
Great for smallish lawns
We have 3 small lawns which have suffered from moss for a number of years. Treated them with Complete to kill the moss and weeds and subsequently used the lawn rake to remove the dead moss and grass. Lovely results, filled a large wheelie bin with the dead stuff. Would have taken me ages with a conventional rake.
It has 3 height settings which is useful.
Yes, the collection tray fills fast, but one can reach down and slightly compact the debris in the tray by hand once or twice before having to empty it, a minor inconvenience. I had the wheelie bin nearby.
Very satisfied with this piece of kit.
best option to scarify a law
a no brainer for your lawn, easy to put together and use, does the job nicely and easy to put together.. used it this spring and got rid of so much moss and dead grassa and will use it again this autumn if it stops raining. now i just have to figure out a way to get rid of and ants in the lawn.
A GREAT INVESTMENT
I regret not purchasing an electric scarifier years ago, very effective without the physical effort required using a manual version. Extremely impressed with this machine, though two improvements would be helpful, a larger or more effective collection basket and a longer cable. The scarifier really does remove dead moss and weeds following an application of lawn maintenance granules. Highly recommended from my experience.
Ditch the bag
Great thing -I’ve got 2 big gardens and this thing scoured up 5 x 1 tonne bags of moss out them.It’s almost therapeutic to watch it in action!But the collector /bag is useless -I just removed it and rakes up later.
Very easy to operate
I got this as I have a lot of moss in my grass I have tried raking it but it’s a hard sweaty job I set this up in minutes of receiving it and within 20 minutes I had a massive bag of miss it folds away nicely I have complaints I agree with previous posts it’s easier to just hand remove the moss from the collector it’s not like grass so very easy to do and not messy
Moss remove
I bought this as I wanted to remove the moss from my lawn. The machine strips out the moss and pretty much everything else.
If not careful it will strip the lawn to bare soil, but careful use it has cleared out the moss.
The collection try is a bit small, many many times it required emptying, however it works well.
It works
Does its job very well. Only slight drawback is that the collector is at the front which means to get to the edge of the lawn a fair bit of manoeuvring has to be done so that flowers in the bed do not get damaged.
Best scarifier for the money.
Has three hight settings, very useful as you will not need the lowest ( most aggressive) setting after the first time it is used.
It rips out so much moss that the grass box needs emptying after just ten seconds.
Forget weed and feed,
This is brilliant.
good
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
Impressive, first impressions, however you don’t get any instructions just have the white guides on top of the box. Little disappointing
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
My lawn was a mess. After using this lawn raker once I could see a huge improvement. It removed a huge amount of moss. I use it every time I cut the lawn and am amazed at how much moss is still being removed. Some people have complained that the grass box is not big enough and needs to be emptied a lot. Well so what.!!
This is a great little machine and I should have bought one years ago.
Good lawnrake, poorly designed collection box
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.
Lightweight and easy to use
Great value for money. So easy to use and does a great job
Effective moss removal
Much less effort than a spring rake … and even more effective.
Very good
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!
Good
Very good product, easy to use and effective, though the collection box is rather too small.
Excellent Lawn Rake
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.
Scarifye
This item is so good takes all the moss out of your lawn easy
very effective lawn scarifier. would recommend
very easy to use and really helps to remove moss from a medium sized law
OK for the price
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.
just the job
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
Does exactly what needed fo
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.
Perfect for Small to Medium Lawns
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!
Used this product to scarify my smaller back lawn and my large front lawn. Previous years I had done it by hand using moss killer and a rake (backbreaking). This product glided through the grass and removed 95% of the moss and weeds with minimal effort. As other have stated the collection box is very small .. it was fine for the smaller lawn but for the bigger one I removed it and collected it with a lawn mower afterwards. For the price I would definitely reccomend it!
Black & Decker Scarifie
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.
We all think we’ve got a green lush lawn and then you think I’ll just get the moss out of the lawn and yep it turns out you’ve just got a lawn of moss. This scarifier will drag most of the moss out in one hit but if not just leave for a day and go again , it has 3 height levels so just make sure the lawn is fairly short and start on level 3 and make the way down the levels but what i would say is don’t do it on a dry day as you’ll kick up a lot of dust and have trouble dragging the moss out of the lawn. The set up is pretty standard really and you shouldn’t really struggle with that part of it , the grass box does fill up very quickly though as you’ll find out, with it being a bit shallow it doesn’t take long to fill and what I’ve noticed it’s a bit long so I’ve struggled to go right to the end of the lawn without the box then hitting a rose bush etc . You can actually just take it off but you’ll then just get moss being thrown out the front like one of those tree shredders, I’ve only got a small lawn so it’s perfect for me but with a big lawn I’d say just be steady and take your time as if you’ve got a huge lawn it may get a bit warm . I use it only dragging moss out of my lawn so as far as things like picking up acorns I’d say no, picking leaves up I’d say no as the leaves would probably just stick onto the spikes so just use it for taking moss out of the lawn and you’ll be fine. It’s not classed as an aerator just a scarifier so don’t get the two mixed up as it only does the one job but does it well, I’ve not had too change or replace the coil spikes as yet so can’t really comment on replacement parts or the availability of the parts so that would be a question you’d have to ask black and decker or the seller. Me personally when I’m finished I clean it all up and then spray a bit of WD40 onto the spikes and that way they stay clean and rust free , the scarifier can be folded down by undoing the plastic wing nut type of things on both sides so it can be put away in a small shed , but in all it’s never let me down and has always got rid of the moss and any dead grass , it won’t remove or drag out any good grass or lawn but once you’ve removed the moss believe me your lawn probably won’t look like a lawn as mine was mainly moss so once I’d finished taking the moss out it did look very sad indeed and very bald but it’s done it’s job and then it’s up to you to reseed etc
Rake to the rescue
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.
Superb, wish I got one soone
I used to use a hand rake took me hours, this is sooo good, its easy lightweight and does it perfectly
Very good
Been after a Lawnrake for a long time,they are a lot better than a scarifier.
Does the job with ease
Easy to assemble
Lightweight
Easy to use
Not too big to store
Reasonable price
simply brilliant!
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.
Great produc
My lawn was showing a lot of thatch growing as i cut it long initially (my fault). This product is great for its price, its light and really manouverable and really taught me a lesson my removing so much thatch that every few weeks i now use this to keep on top of it.
Very good
Easy to use and I really enjoyed seeing it lift the thatch! I can’t believe I just wrote that, but it’s true.
Simples!
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.
Great lawnmowe
Light and easy to use. Once you have set to the right height works well
Seems an excellent purchase
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.
Garden looks as clean as ever!
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!
It’s as good as everyone says
Very lightweight and very easy to assemble . Did make light work of garden and am pleased Purchased
Really tears through the moss
I knew I had a lot of moss in my lawn, but was astonished by the amount this pulled out in just a few minutes. The collection tray fills up very quickly and I got tired of emptying it so took it off and let the moss gather loose on the lawn, then hoovered it up with my rotary mower. I was glad to see that it’s relatively small as I don’t have much space to spare in my shed. It’s powerful but it’s going to take quite a few weekends to clear my lawn, and I think thereafter it will need monthly rakes to keep it under control. Very pleased.
Great for a small garde
THis is a really handy little machine for a small garden. We were quoted 65 to scarify our lawn so bought this instead. I used it todat on the middle seeting and it did a great job removing the thatch to the extent that it nearly filled my wheely bin. Very pleased
Light & easy to use
Bought life to my drab looking lawn. Combed up more grass cuttings than my mowe
Easy to use.
Not had any problems but hardly had any use of yet.
Wish I had discovered this lawn racker earlier!
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!!
Best purchase this yea
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.
Absolutely brillia
I had a black and decker nearly 30 years ago it was amazing then so I searched for another it’s exactly like the old one and yes it’s absolutely brilliant still, and it doesn’t matter that the basket gets full cos you know it’s doing it’s job and you can see exactly what is coming out the grass my garden bin is full now and that’s with just one go so I’m going to do it again and no doubt another load of moss will come out. The lawn now looks a bit ropey but next year will be like centre court at Wimbledon lol
I will be recommending this raker to everyone cos I’m not going to be lending mine
Brilliant and Effective Dethatche
This is effectively an electric garden rake – used it on setting 2 to dethatch my lawn for the first time since it was laid a few weeks ago and it pulled out around 12 grass collector trough’s worth of thatch and cut grass! Then moved to setting 1 and use after every cut to keep the lawn from clogging up with more dead grass (thatch) – get about 6 troughs after each cut. Now my lawn can breath and drink easily – looks greener and lusher already after a few uses following by feeding and seeding. I haven’t tried setting 3 which apparently will pull up weeds and moss, looks like that could also scarify the ground so may have a go after the next Winter when some weeds have moved in. Great value and very effective little machine.
Value for money
A little awkward to assembly. Very light and easy to use. Much easier than raking and picking up the debris by hand.
Does a great job
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.
Brillia
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
Amazing results
Before purchasing this machine, I had used a hand rake, and a 2 wheel scarifier, but was a great deal of hard work and time consuming, but using this product has made this task so much easier and quicker, and the amount of moss and dead grass it removed from the lawn is incredible, having filled my 2 garden wheeled bins and a large plastic dustbin as well. the front basket fills very quickly and I needed to empty it after only 45 seconds, but to see the results is well worth keep bending to empty the basket. I followed the scarifying with Evergreen complete 4 in 1 lawn treatment, and I am pleased with the results.
Useful machine
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
Works Well and Good Calue
This is a good value scarifier that is reasonably well made for the money. It works well too, stripping lawn weeds with ease.
Brilliant Lawn Rake
This is the second Lawn raker I have ordered in the last three weeks. I ordered the first for me, was so thrilled with it I ordered one for my neice. She used it and said it was brilliant. Such a good price too.
A couple of design flaws
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*
good b&d rake
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
Hassle free value for money scarifie
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.
useful lawn raking.
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.
Electric taking on a budge
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.
Effective bit of ki
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.
Excellent little scarifie
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.
What a beast.
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.
Good buy
Used for scarifying the lawn and fit for purpose. Pleased to date, with purchase
ake for smaller lawns
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.
What a buy
Got to be the best thing I’ve bought in years and does the job would recommend it to anyone
Does what it says on the Ti
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
Highly effective, quick and easy
This product is brilliant. On lowest setting has thoroughly removed all the moss – really quick and easy.
Decent machine for the amount it cos
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.
