Patented Manual Rolling Lawn Aerator Push Roller Up to 80lbs Coring Rotary Loosening Soil Garden Yard Grass Aeration Tool

This aerator has been what I was looking for years. It does everything it's says it will do. My yard has areas of soft dirt and clay. It is able to aerate the whole lawn with no issue of not pulling plugs. I have roughly between 1/2 and 3/4 a acres of lawn and this does / will take some time to fully aerate. First pass took about 2 hours. But the good news is your not on the clock like you have with a rental.I did use this at my parents house who have a mix of sandy areas and clay. The sandy area it did great. The clay areas it did well too except the areas that were completely dry. If you have clay for soil like all core aerator you will need the soil moist before using.Assembly was fairly straight forward. Like others have said putting the sand in the wheels does take time but hopefully you only have to do it once.All in all I would definitely. Recommend this for anyone who looking for a core aerator but does not want to be on the clock for a rental and has a small to medium size lawn.

It is a well made product and works. You will need your own tools to put it together though, as the wrenches it comes with would take many hours to assemble with. 2x 13mm wrenches, 2x 8mm for the spikes if you want to remove them to poke out any stuck dirt.It took me some time to fill the wheels with sand, and the sand I used was slightly wet so it didn't pour very well. I had to pile small mounds of sand on top and guide it into the hole to fill up. Might be able to use a funnel or chute like on a cement truck to pour the sand if it is dry.I hit a few rocks rolling in the yard, so some of the spikes got slightly dented/damaged. They should still work just fine. I don't recall if the instructions tell you to disengage the springs after done using, but I did that.

Got this last year but never got a chance to use it so when the weather started to warm I got a little too eager. Soil was probably a bit too moist, but there are holes about 2.5-3 inches deep. First tried it without sand and it wasn't heavy enough. Made the mistake of filling both wheels with about 30-40lbs of sand total . It worked, but had to catch my breath after each pass (100ftx60ft with 100ft span the flattest). Just did the back and will compare with liquid aeration I tried in front. In Fall, I will pour out some sand and have it just heavy enough for the tines to do their thing and hope to get multiple passes when it's lighter. Really solid build. Assembled easily with my own ratchet and crescent wrench. They do include some small tools but not ideal for me. Found backing up a little to change direction was easier than turning on a dime

Scrapes the ground and the wheels rip the grass up. Does not aerate the lawn. Waste of money.

Easy to assemble. Efficient and affordable.

I’m a 66 yr old woman and while I couldn’t put it together I am able to push this thing and I have an area of my lawn that has a slight incline. My lawn is mostly clay but the ground was wet which I think made it easier for me to do. I have about 1.3 acres but only about 1/4 of the lawn needs this now so I did some today and I think I’ll be able to finish tomorrow. I do agree with another reviewer that it would be helpful to make the opening for the sand larger because filling the wheels was time consuming. I’m very happy with this purchase

I feel morally inclined to call out that this product has a very similar design to the AMICK Roll-Aerator, which is a product made by a gentleman out of California and sold in a direct-to-consumer model. However, rather than using upcycled brake rotors for wheels/weights, this aerator has you add sand to the wheels, which allows for 1) easier shipping, and 2) the ability to customize the weight needed to properly penetrate your soil.For simplicity of order and delivery, I was very excited to find this on Amazon. I put it together relatively easily, added some sand, and took it for a test drive. It yanked my hard clay plugs out like it was nothing. Needless to say, I'm excited to add soil amendments this spring and to continue to aerate semi-frequently to rehab my yard for the summer.This is a solid, cost-effective product for the intended purpose. To rent a plug aerator at a big box store costs $100-$200 for a few hours. You also don't have the hassle of having to go pick it up and return it within a tight window. If you are planning to rent an aerator, I'd suggest giving this a try first.Additionally, I polled my community and found my neighbors would be willing to pay me $100 to aerate their yards with this tool. You could literally start/upgrade a little landscaping business with this thing and get your money back easily. My kids are too young, but if I was back in my high school days, I would buy this and advertise this service in my community rather than doing any part-time minimum-wage work. Just food for thought.Great product. 10/10 would buy again.

It works, but holy moly getting the sand in the tires is a royal pita. I appreciate the quality build and all metal but it took me far too long to dump a 50lb bag of sand in there. If I could add water to the tires I would have been done and using it in 20 minutes but it took me almost 2 hours before I could use it. Maybe add a funnel or make the hole wider.
