Value for Money: I compared the features, performance, and price point of each scarifier and rated their value for money accordingly. Overall this is an excellent electric lawn rake, due to it’s light weight, portability, good build quality and array of features.

The VonHaus 2 in 1 – Scarifier &Aerator is the most powerful electric model we review, with a very impressive 1500W of power. The interchangeable rollers for scarifying and aerating are easy to switch, and each comes with its own adjustable range of heights suitable for its purpose. This model is perfect for small and medium-sized gardens and would make a great entry-level model for any gardener looking to maintain their lawn. I really struggled to find any major downsides to this rake, it even comes with a 2 year warranty if you register the rake with Bosch. Only 4 height settings. This is a shame as most of the Bosch’s competitors have at least 6 height settings. All of the above can leave lawns weak, undernourished, and prone to moss. This is why it’s a good idea to try and resolve these underlying issues first to avoid persistent moss problems. How To Get Rid of Moss A lawn scarifier refers to a dethatcher, which is a useful tool to clean your gardens. This device is well-designed to cut through soil that helps in removing all dead moss plus other debris such as grass cuttings and other organic material. How to Choose the Best Lawn Scarifier?The AL-KO Combi-Care 38 E Electric Scarifier is a premium quality 3-in-1 machine that clears moss and thatch from your lawn. The 1300 watt model easily scarifies, rakes and collects the cuttings from your lawn making lawn maintenance an easy job. It comes with two steel blade and tine attachments: one is intended for scarifying and the other one for raking. You can easily switch between the two attachments without using tools, saving you time for other garden chores. Keeping your lawn healthy in the first place is the best way of preventing dead grass. However, it’s easy to forget that lawns require maintenance (they aren’t evergreen!) and just treating grass with lawn fertilisers is not enough. Now, overall does the above make the Bosch better than the Flymo? Yes, not only the Flymo but almost all the lawn rakes we have tested. The Bosch ALR 900 will not disappoint when it comes to collection and emptying of the collected debris. Below I’ll be detailing all the features and functions of the Bosch ALR 900, both good and not so good and then comparing to the Flymo so you understand exactly what you’re getting for your money. Main Features: Besides, this machine has foldable handlebars so that you can store it without using up too much space. It has large wheels as well as wide castors so that you won’t have issues moving it from one spot to another. Its lightweight design is a standout feature, and that is its manoeuvre is a piece of cake during operations. With its 10-metre power cable, you can be sure of unrestricted operations at all times.

As the name hints, an electric scarifier is a lawn care tool that runs on electric energy, making it easier for you to get rid of thatch from a lawn effortlessly. A scarifier is not the same as an aerator. A scarifier removes thatch and moss from within the lawn. An aerator either punches lots of holes into your lawn with a set of spikes (often on a big roller) or removes lots of tiny cores from your lawn. This allows water and lawn feed to go into the holes and reach the grass roots. Aerating does not remove any moss or thatch which is a big difference. Before scarifying you should cut your lawn down as short as possible. Do this in a couple of stages if your grass is long. You want to leave your lawn for a few days after mowing so it can dry out before scarifying.You should always start scarifying with the machine on its highest setting, and so this is what I did when I turned on the UniversalRake 900. However, this barely made a dent in the grass, so I moved it down one step lower. Again, the results weren’t anything to get excited about, so I put it down to its lowest setting. The Bosch AVR 1100 Verticutter Lawnraker provides the dual functions of scarifying and aeration in one electric model, without having to change cassettes or rakes, plus is a big plus as changing cassettes can be awkward on most models. Apart from that, the number of blades that are fitted on a lawn scarifier might affect the performance. A lawn scarifier with more blades can help you get rid of moss and thatch in a short span of time. Cutting Width
