Great - it's this or hiring one at great expense!
I bought this, probably like everyone else, as I was doing a patio and path myself and wanted to work at my own pace and not keep hiring a wacker at 70 a throw each time.
In short, it’s great it compacts MOT TYPE 1 until it’s rock hard.
My only concern even purchasing this is that it wasn’t as good as hired one (which it probably isn’t) but I can see no flaws in the end result.
Another thing is you don’t actually spend hours using it 3-4 ‘passes’ and you’re done.
I sold it on ebay for half the money I paid for it, so all good.
Also there is no alternatives it’s the marvellous Hulk or hiring one at great expense!
It does what it says
Used a few times now and has proved to be do what it says . It’s idea for compacting hard-core like mot type 2 but only In my opinion for walkways and light use , patios etc . I don’t think I’d drive a car on the finished product as I’m certain within a few days it would be sinking as the unit doesn’t have enough weigh to it to compact to the level required for a driveway . Also the cable is quite long and kept having to move it and after a couple of uses had already realised why petrol is better although i was using in quite a narrow space . All in all great piece if kit to own and its saved me a fortune in hire costs as I do most of the work at home myself . If your looking for a patio or a pathway I’d recommend this product but as I said for a driveway I’m not sure it would be enough but I could be wrong .
So glad i got this
I have allot to compress and this is doing short work of it. Works perfect and i could not be happier – best if you have someone concentrating on cable and you work then it is so easy. Great for the price and works as intended. Well made, as specified and pictured. Would buy again.
Good value. Some downsides but good for DIY
Good value in that it compares well to renting from builders merchant yes some parts are pretty flimsy but as long as you are afraid of adding some duck tape from time to time I suspect most people would find it’s actually easier to manipulate than the ‘pro’ variants. The cable gets in the way of course and it weighs half the expensive petrol versions. BUT it’s cheap and I get to keep it and I’m not building a house just doing some landscaping
5.0 out of 5 stars Great little compacto
Used this on two large patio areas in our garden, done the job very well also its pretty quiet considering what it’s doing.
Good value for money
Bought this as I didn’t want to spend a fortune. Used it to level 3tonne of hardcore and it did the job pretty well. It took a few more runs over than petrol alternatives. But for a bit of DIY it does the job. The cable is a bit of a pain, but overall very happy with the produc
Value for money and good for small jobs
Good piece of equipment. Will update with more details later
Unable to fully use it due to the cold snap
Ideal for home work
If anything it is a little light,but I really can’t fault i
Can`t complain for the price
Used this to level out the ground for a paved driveway and it did the job it was asked to do. Takes a few passes to do a proper job of it but that`s to be expected as it`s not the heaviest one around. Do not try and turn it whilst it`s running and in contact with the ground, as it will simply churn up the area you`ve just flattened.
Slightly regret not having bought the slab plate but I`ll live.
Reliable and lightweigh
My first project is a 20’10’ garage base, this was a massive help in fisrt compacting the soil, and then the hardcore on top. For the soil it is recommended to lay some tarp down, so the mud doesn’t clog up on the plate. The hardcore was a 2″ lay and after a couple of passes did the job. I have used heavy petrol ones before and always struggle, so I was happy all around with this.
Does the job well
Found this wacker plate nice and light and it very handy you can fold it up , so it can go in my van better , I done couple jobs with type 1 and it did the job very well ,(don’t expect to do over 6 inch off type 1 in one go and you have to go over few more times) , it less noisy and good you don’t have to worry about petrol.
For the price to do small job it very good

Das Gert war leider zu leicht fr mein Vorhaben . Ich habe es zurck geschickt , mein Geld wurde mir ruck zuck zurck berwiesen . diese Firma ist einfach klasse vielen Dank

Pas trop brillant fait bien sont travail pas trop lourd m1intenant je verrais avec le graviers qui vas tre liv
Idea for small jobs
Small and easy to use, Idea for a couple of jobs in my the garde
Ausreichend
Gemessen am Preis verschmerzt man kleine Verarbeitungsmngel. Wenn man in dnnen Schichten arbeitet, rttelt man auch alles fest was fest werden muss. Wenn man in Schichten von 5 – 8 cm wird auch alles fest. Ich mag das kleine Ding. Und im Innenbereich eine echte Erleichterung.
Good value for money
I have enough petrol driven tools and they are a pain to maintain. I went for the electric one as I didnt need anything too heavyweight and its maintenance free. Its still pretty capable and I was able to install 5m x 4m of 100mm hardcore as foundation for my shed using the compactor – just need to lay the hardcore in 25mm layers. I would recommend it for light DIY jobs

Zusammenbau: einfach
Handhabung: leicht
Gewicht: siehe Produktbeschreibung
Kabellnge: 10m (in der Produktbeschreibung tauchen 4m und 10m gleichzeitig auf)
Lautstrke: auf Stein lauter, auf Erde leiser – ansonsten siehe Produktbeschreibung (und dennoch Ohrschtzer empfehlenswert)
Regentauglichkeit: davon wird auf meine Nachfrage abgeraten, weil Elektrogert ohne jede “Einstufung” oder “Norm”
Einsatzgebiet bei mir bisher: Verdichtung von Erde fr eine zuknftige Terrasse UND Verdichtung einer Erdrampe fr eine Schubkarre. Ergebnis: funktioniert
Einsatzgebiet zuknftig noch geplant: Verdichtung von Lavaschttung und obenauf Splitt, um darauf Platten zu verlegen. Ergebnis: offen
Bisheriges Fazit: empfehlenswert – und der Rest wird nachgereicht.
I am a little bit worried when I place the order because I am not sure if it will work. The machine arrived quickly with good package and then I tried it immediately after the work. I would say it’s a right purchase. I did my terrace with it and it works well. Great design for DIY and it deserves a 4 star and above.

It works well
I’ve been working in my garden and considered renting a compactor plate but I am only doing it on days off and sometimes it might be raining which makes it impossible “clay” so it made sense to invest in this. It does work well, the only issue is the electric cable always in the way but I guess you just learn how to move it out of the way. It does work!

I’m Impressed!!
Seriously packs a punch this little thing! Very impressed with it and I would highly recommend! A LOT better than I thought when I opened it up and first saw the size of it (it’s quite small and lightweight), but boy does it do a decent job!! Bit of a pain in the backside having to trail a cable around, but being electric, it is pretty handy no fumes, no petrol costs.
Overall?. Great purchase!
Works for the amateur hard core laye
Is is good for laying thinner hard core for und slabs. Has a few design failures. One the Shakeproof washers on handle don’t hold the nuts. These washers were designed for the Automobile industry in on flat surfaces, the handle is round. I replaced them with spring washers since then no problems. Two how do I wrap the cable? The two little pins are a bit small for the cable supplied. Or is the UK version only supplied with half a metre?
So far it works and was cheaper and more convenient than every three days renting a larger machine. At 26 kg. it’s heavy enough for me. I had hoped as Expat. to have found an excellent machine only the design faults disappoint.
Great for a DIY-e
I was going to hire one, but all available were far too heavy for me to get back home, or even to manoeuvre when they weren’t running, so an electric one was the alternative. I’m sure others might want the heavier petrol ones but for me, doing just one drive and a path, this worked brilliantly – it’s still very heavy, but perhaps half the weight of a professional wacker, and so takes a little longer, but the result was great. If I sell it on once I’ve completed all foreseeable work, then it will be much cheaper than renting, and I won’t feel that I’ve got to rush to finish either.
Klasse Werkzeug.
Ich wollte unbedingt eine elektrische Rttelplatte. Das grte Manko ist natrlich das geringe Gewicht und der daraus resultierenden Verdichtungstiefe. Der Vorteil liegt natrlich auf der Hand : kein stinkendes Benzin und etwaige Schmierstoffe, etc. Wenn Benzin immer teurer wird, sollten die Hersteller natrlich auch mitdenken. Fazit ist :Das Gert hat an der Stelle unseres Gartens die locker aufgefllte Erde mit bestem Ergebnis verdichtet…. mehr wollte ich nicht!!!
Very impressed for such a small machine
I used this machine to wack around 60 m2 of sub base crush and run it was easy to use and also compacted the material well
The machine was easy to move and also not to awkward to carry and put in the va
Wacker plate
Good wacker plate very good for the price and it does the job.
Great Tool
I was a little bit skeptical of this. I’ve been doing DIY jobs for years and hiring big petrol whacker plates from a guy up the road. I bought this more out of hope than expectation. I can happily say though, I was proven wrong. You get a decent length of cable with it, so you don’t need an extension 99% of the time. It’s a nice weight – still a one man lift but with enough weight to be effective and it whacks really well. I can’t see myself going back to a petrol for anything but the most heavy-duty job, even then I reckon this will do the job fine. I used it on 6″ hardcore and it went down nicely, then I used it on 50mm block pavers with the optional rubber mat, and it worked a treat. The only caveat is you need to modify the rubber mat to get it to stay on reliably (It slips off if you just fix it with the clamps provided). Otherwise the machine and the mat worked perfectly.
Für den Gartengebrauch gut.
Fr den Gartengebrauch gut. Um Gehwege oder Terrassen anzulegen. Fr Auffahrten eher weniger geeignet. Die Gewinde fr die Griffe waren schlecht gearbeitet, habe ich mit einem Gewindebohrer nachgeschnitten. Im groen und ganzen ein Toller Helfer.
