IXES 1050 W Gartenfräse review

Sixteen blades across 360 mm and 205 mm deep, with an instant start, a protection switch and a folding handle.

The bottom line The middle of the shelf, and correctly proportioned: sixteen blades across 360 mm, 205 mm deep, 1050 W. Four times the blade count of the small machine on a fifth more width, which is the difference between working a bed and turning one over.

What the maker prints on its own page

Ideal for smaller and medium gardens or flower beds. A powerful 1050 W motor. A maximum working width of 360 mm and a maximum working depth of 205 mm. Sixteen blades for even soil loosening. Instant start with a protection switch against unintended starting. A folding handle for easier transport and storage. Low maintenance thanks to the electric motor. Comfort grips.

Sixteen blades on 360 mm

That is one blade every 22 mm, against one every 75 mm on the small machine at the bottom of this shelf.

Blade spacing decides the result. Widely spaced tines chop the soil into lumps and turn easily; closely spaced ones work it to a tilth and take more power to do it. Sixteen on 360 mm is a seedbed arrangement.

It also means this machine is harder to hold than the narrow one. More blades in contact is more forward pull, and a tiller’s tines are its drive.

The word “maximum”

Both figures are given as maxima, which tells you something the other listings do not: the tine assembly can be reduced.

Outer tine sets coming off is how a tiller works between rows without eating the row. A listing that states a maximum has implied a range; most of this shelf states a single number and leaves you to find out.

Two units for one motor

1050 W and 1.4 PS are the same thing written twice. An electric motor’s rated input is a watt figure; the horsepower conversion beside it is a sales convention.

This site prints both because the maker printed both, and labels the watt figure as an input — what the machine draws, not what arrives at the soil.

What is missing

No transport wheels stated, and no weight. Both matter on a machine that is front-heavy by design and has to get from the shed to the plot somehow.

Availability

Around 80 €, read at the German Amazon store on the day of the survey.

More than 1.6× the cheapest country at the Italian Amazon store; a gap of that size normally means forwarded stock rather than a seller on the ground, so the spread above leaves it out.

Listed and unsold: the French and Spanish Amazon catalogues hold the reference with nobody behind it.

Nothing came back from the American and British Amazon stores at all; the buy button there runs a search rather than opening an empty page.

Taken from Keepa on the day this page was last revised; stock and prices move without notice.

The declared figures, and the point they stop at

Strengths

  • Sixteen blades on 360 mm — a close spacing that works soil finely
  • Both width and depth given as maxima rather than as bare numbers
  • A protection switch against unintended starting, and a folding handle

Compromises

  • No transport wheels stated
  • No weight, on a machine with sixteen blades on the front
  • The power figure is given twice, in watts and PS, for one electric motor

What this machine usually gets asked

Why give both watts and PS for an electric motor?

It is a marketing habit rather than a specification: 1050 W and 1.4 PS are the same figure twice. This site prints both because the maker did, and treats the watt figure as what it is — an input from the socket rather than work at the tines.

Sixteen blades or four?

Sixteen works the soil more finely and meets more resistance doing it. On a bed being prepared for seed that is what you want; on hard ground being broken for the first time it is more resistance than a 1050 W motor can push through.

What does “maximum” mean on a working width?

That the tine assembly can be reduced — outer sets come off — so the machine can be run narrower between rows. The listing states the figures as maxima, which is more precise than most on this shelf.

Who this one is for
