Very good value Dec 08, 2009
I have a small yard in Phoenix and one of those rental motorized aerators doesn't make sense. So, I ordered this product after reading the reviews figuring it wasn't too expensive and I wouldn't be terribly disappointed if it didn't work. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. But, as one of the other reviewers mentions, it works best with the right lawn conditions (i.e. not too moist and not too dry). If the ground is too hard, it's hard to penetrate the surface and get a good plug. If the ground is too wet, the plugs seem to get stuck in the aerating tubes. I've found that the third day after a watering is the best for my lawn. But each person may have to find the right time depending on the soil conditions and how much they are watering. After I found the right conditions, I finished my lawn in about two hours over a couple of days. When you have the right conditions, you can get a rhythm going - on each presentation, the tubes penetrate the lawn and the plugs from the previous penetration(s) pop easily out of the top of the tubes.

do it yourself Dec 05, 2009
If you are a do it yourself type person. This is for you. It works well for a small yard. The holes tend to
get clogged up from time to time. Roots get impacted and you have to stop and clean it out. Can get a little
frustrating.

Very easy to use; good for small lawn Oct 30, 2009
Rather than spend the same amount of money to have someone aerate my lawn, this will pay for itself. It gives you a nice little workout and I'm able to aerate my medium/smallish front lawn in about an hour.
It's easy to use and a little fun too.

Works Great!!! Oct 18, 2009
I bought this to aerate by 600sq/ft lawn. It works great. It took me about 30 minutes to cover the whole lawn. Sometimes the plug does not come out. When that happened I just kept going and in a few more steps they started popping right out again. Its a great tool for maintaining my small lawn. Its very sturdy and I had no bending issues even when I think I hit an underlying rock that prevented it from reaching full depth. Of course when I hit rock, I didn't press the issue by trying to stamp it in. Just pull it out and move on to the next spot. Great alternative to hiring someone.
