Tines rake out, blades slice in · review
A 16-inch 15-amp machine with a 14.5-gallon bag and flat-free wheels for $130. The listed 57.3 lb looks like a boxed weight.
At $130, this has the same motor and bag as the Westinghouse for $20 less.
It has 16 blades against 20 and an uncertain weight figure. The rating of 4.5 from nearly 400 buyers is reassuring.
Unplug the machine before changing a roller or clearing the tines, and use an outdoor-rated cord on a GFCI-protected outlet. Mark sprinkler heads and buried lines first: tines at working depth will catch them.

Great value if the true weight is close to its rivals.
A buyer who wants the Westinghouse bag for less.
