Two cylinders in one machine, and only one of them scarifies · review
Both cartridges in the box — 16 blades and 36 aerator claws — on a 1500 W mains machine with a 30-litre catcher.
The bottom line The cheapest machine on this shelf and it arrives as two machines: a 16-blade scarifying cartridge and a 36-claw aerating one, both supplied. A 32 cm working width on 1500 W, four central depth positions and a 30-litre catcher, with a folding handle and a carry handle.
An electric scarifier and lawn aerator with a 1500 W motor for small and medium lawns. It is described as 2-in-1: a scarifying attachment and an aerating attachment allow thatch to be removed and the sward gently aerated. The working width is 32 cm and the working height adjusts centrally in four steps, which the maker states protects the root system while removing moss and thatch.
The scarifying cartridge carries 16 blades that cut through thatch and moss and remove the residues with their roots. The aerating cartridge carries 36 claws that comb clippings, moss and thatch out of the sward. The 30-litre catcher collects material during work. The handle folds for storage and a carry handle is fitted.
That is the thing to check on this whole shelf, and here it is stated: both are supplied.
A machine sold as 2-in-1 with only one shaft in the carton is a common listing, and the second cartridge is then a separate purchase at a price nobody quotes until you need it.
Blade count only means something alongside the width. Sixteen across 32 cm is one every two centimetres, which is a normal spacing for a domestic machine — closer spacing cuts more lines per pass and asks more of the motor.
The aerating side carries 36 claws, which is denser again, as it should be: sprung tines comb rather than cut, so there is less resistance per tine.
Four positions, and no range. That is the omission on this listing.
Depth on a scarifier is measured against ground level, and the useful range runs from a little above it — combing — to something like 10 or 15 mm below, cutting into the thatch. Without the numbers, a buyer cannot tell whether four steps covers that span or sits entirely on one side of it.
The lawn will look wrecked afterwards, and a properly set machine will fill this catcher several times from a small area. That is the operation working, and it is why timing matters: spring once growth is established, or early autumn while the soil is warm.
From 90 € to 139 €, that being the spread across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores on the day of the survey.
Beyond the euro zone, the British Amazon store prices it in its own currency, which the spread above sets aside.
Nothing came back from the American Amazon store at all; the buy button there runs a search rather than opening an empty page.

They do different jobs. The bladed one cuts down through the thatch layer and drags it out; the sprung claws comb the surface and lift loose material without cutting. A lawn with real thatch needs the first; a lawn that is simply matted with clippings needs the second.
It is the smallest on this shelf, and scarifying produces far more material than anyone expects — several catcher loads from a small area on a lawn with real thatch. Expect to empty it often on the first pass.
Because the positions are measured against ground level: above it the machine combs, below it the blades cut into the thatch. A listing that gives four steps and no range has not said whether the machine reaches the layer at all.
