Bluemars 2000W Lawn Scarifier and Aerator, 40CM Working Width Electric Lawn Rake,5 Positions,55L Grass Box, Folding Handle,10M Power Cord

Took a long time comparing various scarifiers and eventually went for this Bluemars 2000 watt scarifies and aerator. With 5 depth heights and a 40 cm width it is about the best model for our half acre lawn being both powerful and very effective clearing out the thatch and aerating the soil. Like other reviewers it quickly became apparent that when first using the rake the 25ltr bag fills within two or three yards so it’s much easier to leave the bag off and use a hand rake (see photo on highest setting for the rake) This isn’t the fault of the machine more our fault for not ever raking out the lawn! The aerator works quickly and effectively (see second photo). What a great machine this is. The instructions for assembling the handles were confusing but despite this it was relatively easy to put together. Folding the handles down when storing in garage was quick and simple. Replacement rake and aerator cylinder parts are also available on the Amazon web site. A well designed machine that gets five stars from me; very pleased with this purchase.

With a lot of humming and harring, I decided to purchase this machine. Wow... I'm glad I did. Good powerful and efficient work horse. Set was easy. Aerated was already fitted. Plugged in and away I went. It's light and tough. Brilliant design. I found that it brings up a lot of dead thatch up and filled the large waste holder very very quickly on setting 0. There are 5 setting and 0 is the one set to 3mm above the ground. The others are for - 3mm down +. So I used it without and then collected the waste by raking into piles. I'm really pleased with my purchase. Highly recommend this item.

The device is larger than expected, specifically wider than the previous model. The extra width is actually usefull, as it means less distance to travel, Putting the parts together is relatively simple. Follow the instructions, there are no special tools required. Fortunately, all the parts for assembly were delivered in the package. Machine is very effective when it comes to the scarification function. Could not believe how quickly the collecter box fills up with thatch and moss. Literally every 20 meters or so, had to empty. Like all devices these days, made of plastic, but it least it is more sturdy than the cheaper versions. Also arrives with the scarifier blade attached. There is also an aerator tool, not tested that yet. Price was competitive for the quality of the machine. Used once so far, no issues. To confirm, The device has an electric cable , not cordless

Very powerful lawn scarifier / aerator, removes large quantities of thatch even at the highest setting from the ground. Which does mean that you need to continually open the lid and compress the contents, otherwise it ends up being spread over the lawn again. It may be a 55L box, but any more than half full and again, it leaks out. I suspect this is more of a problem during the first few uses, when there is a lot of material to be raked, but it is worth pointing out that you will spend quite a lot of time compressing and emptying the collection box, at least at first. The tool itself is relatively light, but not flimsy by any means and swapping the aerator/scarifier rollers is very simple. Initial construction is more fiddly, the instructions are a bit vague at times and they've clearly been translated from another language, but overall it isn't overly difficult. Storage is a bit more of a pain, unless you undo all of the quick release handles the tool takes up a lot of space if kept on the ground, so it either needs to be hung up, or you have to fiddle with the handle segments each time you get it out - unless of course you are lucky enough that floorspace isn't an issue for you. Overall, a good tool, perhaps a little on the pricey side for the type of machine, but the build quality appears sound and we'll know in a few years if that made it good value or not.

After owning this machine for a few months, I finally put it to work on my 375 square metre lawn, and the results are impressive. Assembly is straightforward, and swapping between the scarifier and aerator cartridges is easy. If it’s your first time scarifying, be prepared for the sheer volume of debris. My lawn had never been treated before, and the results were staggering: Setting 4 (Highest): Removed 2,000 litres of thatch. Setting 3: Removed an additional 1,000 litres. Setting 2: Pulled up another 750 litres. The motor has plenty of power and requires very little physical effort; I finished the entire lawn in just over an hour. One caveat: the collection basket is essentially useless for heavy-duty jobs. I found it much more efficient to prop the rear flap open and let the thatch fall. Don’t bother raking. Use a leaf blower to pile the thatch for bagging, then run a lawnmower over the grass to pick up the fine remains. Overall, I highly recommend this as a scarifier, though I have yet to test the aeration function.

Brilliant product. You may only use this a couple of weeks of the year but it will transform your lawn Four settings, you’ll probably only need to use the first. Easy to use, lots of power, lightweight and good value for money. It folds away and easily fits into a small shed along with your mower. Removes moss, thatch and cultivates areas if reseeding is necessary. Very happy with my lawn now.

Easy to put together. Works extremely well and I am amazed at the amount of thatch and moss that is produced! No need to use the collection box for the first time as it is much easier to use a lawn rake to collect up. An excellent buy.

Very effective scarifier and well designed. My last one burnt out but this has a lot of power to deal with some deep scarifying. Pros: The large wheels don't get clogged with grass; the lever to adjust the height is easy; good feature to raise the cutter up so you can wheel it around; the bag is easy to fit and remove. Cons: the cable is fixed, would be better with a plug connector at the handle; it would be better to have marks on the body to show the actual cutting width; the blue bits are a bit "shouty" for my liking but provide a good range of angles. The collector bag - this is much better than my last one. Other reviewers have ditched the bag but I found it good enough for an up-and-down run before having to empty it. Saved a lot of raking. Very pleased with it.

Two years ago I had to get a landscape firm in to scarify my lawns due to the depth of moss. It cost me over 1000 euro. This year the problem was worse. I considered buying a petrol heavy duty scarifier but the weight and problem of getting it serviced put me off. I brought this electric version without much hope given the depth and scale of the moss problem but to my surprise it has been absolutely fantastic. I have done all the lawns on the zero setting twice and now have a pile of moss about the size of a small bungalow! It is very light weight, very easy to push and manoeuvre, very efficient and quick. Given the amount of moss it removes you can't use the box. I have drilled a small hole in the rear guard and attached a piece of string and simply raise the back to release the built up moss. I have a very large garden and I can not recommend this piece of kit more highly to you. Remember it has an electric cable which is quite long but you have to be systematic in your approach to cutting larger areas. The vibration is okay but I would recommend gell gloves and using it for no more than fifteen minutes at a time. It has a wide cut but you do need to overlap and if possible do the second run at right angles to the first. It produces a lot of moss so I scarify ... rake ...cart off, repeat. Remember moss dose not decompose very well if at all aerobically, so don''t be tempted to put on compost heap. I have a separate dump for it and compress it down in layers each with a handful of NPK fertiliser then keep it very wet. I also found that you don't have to really cut the lawn too low beforehand, not that you will be able probably due to the moss, , as on the zero setting it also cuts the grass making the moss a bit more degradable.

This is an absolute beast of a machine. Did a pretty large lawn in less than 30 minutes. You just need a routine to make sure you avoid the power cable. As others have said, the bag fills up really quickly so isn’t really practical. If using without the bag and with the bag door open (tied in place) make sure to wear eye protection as I found that occasionally some odd bits and small stones could get fired out the back. Highly recommend this machine for price, power and efficiency.
