Not for use on an entire lawn and good if you only want to do small sections. It's also not the easiest tool to use in solid ground but if you water the grass and then use it, it's a bit easier. It is sturdy and held my weight (150 pounds) but that just goes to show that even 150lbs fully pushing down was not working that great.

So, this will kill you if you want to do your entire lawn with it - BUT if you have a small area or garden that needs to be aerated, this is perfect. Creates a really good size plug, not just putting holes into the ground. Very important if you're wanting to actually improve more than just a couple inches below the soil. And it works best on dryer soil. Wet or loose soil just clumps - still works, just not clean plugs. The only thing (and I saw this on another review) is that if you are taller, your knee will hit it when trying to get a good angle. Otherwise, it's perfect for what we need it for.

This is a pretty simple garden tool for the grass lovers. It assembled in 5 minutes just as the description said, and off to the lawn. It pushes in pretty easy basically with just an average person's body weight. It pulled out really dense cores which confirmed out suspicions that we were due to aerate. It also came with a little pick to poke out any stuck cores. Overall, this is effective at what it advertises it does, no misleading claims in quality or function here. Happy I got it, and would recommend for people looking to aerate their lawns themselves for stronger roots.

This lawn aerator is thoughtfully designed and very well made.I gave it a trial run on my front lawn, initially in an area where the grass is browned-out. That trial was three days after the lawn had been watered, each of those three days having had a high temperature of over 100 F (It’s summertime in southern California and there’s no escaping hot days here). The soil had dried-out and it was difficult, but not impossible, to extract some coring's with the aerator. The included photos show the holes created. (For whatever reason, the holes actually look much larger than as seen in the photos.)Given the difficulty of making these extractions, and the possibility that the difficulty may be due to the dryness of the soil, another trial was done in the cool of the morning, just one day after a scheduled, automated lawn watering. Surprisingly, coring was even more difficult than during the first trial. The aerator tubes got so plugged-up with grass, roots, and soil that the cores would not come out the top of the tubes. With the tubes plugged-up, my body weight was not enough to push the tubes into the lawn again, even with repeated application of my body weight and rocking the aerator back and forth. This was the same result that occurred in sections of the lawn that were browned-out, as well as in sections where the grass was nice and green.To be sure, a contributing factor to these difficulties is that my lawn is predominately hybrid Bermuda grass. Bermuda grass grows deep roots as well as vine-like rhizomes (rhizomes are thick, underground stems that grow sideways). For this lawn aerator to work on this lawn, its tubes first have to penetrate the Bermuda’s top growth and its many rhizomes, before penetrating the Bermuda’s roots and soil, a difficult proposition.When winter rolls-around, the southern California rainy season is in full-swing, and the soil is nice and soft, I hope to have better success coring my lawn using this aerator.

We got this to try and aerate some areas in our lawn and I tried it right after rainfall hoping that would soften the ground and it still wore me out trying to sink this in the ground all the way. The core popout tray is cool and the tool does work but you gotta have softer ground or a lot of determination and energy if you are going to try a whole yard with this.

If you need your whole lawn done, do yourself a favor and rent an aerating machine. This is a workout for arms and legs and it would be slow to do a large area. But if there are spots or smaller areas that you need done, this tool is awesome - solidly built, simple to use, and well designed to use your body weight and to be comfortable for your hands (although wear gloves if you are using it for a long time, because you can get blisters after awhile).There are mo moving parts here. Place the hollow fork tines where you want the aeration holes, use your foot to press it down into the ground. Pull it up with the handles when done. The dirt goes into the hollow fork tines and the next set of holes will push the previous holes' dirt tubes up into the catching tray. Dump the catching tray as needed. simple, few parts to break, effective even in hard baked dirt.I will say that the holes made where there is grass/a substructure of roots are a lot cleaner than holes made in bald dirt patches; the bald patches got disturbed a lot more and brought up chunks (although I did it when it had rained the previous day, so things were sticking together a little). This wasn't a problem for me, as I want to churn up the dirt in the bald patches as much as possible.

Just put this thing together the other day. I only need it to aerate some areas where the big aerator couldn't get to. It's pretty solidly built, works well enough for the few minutes I used it. Easy to assemble. Cheaper and more spikes than the local store had. Overall pretty happy with it.

This has stood up well for the fall aeration -- very well built considering it is comprised of multiple pieces.This aerator assembles quickly and doesn't need tools beyond which they provide, and there is a bucket to catch the plugs/cores that come up. I'd rather they be recycled back, but it just means you need to give them an extra shake here and there.Decent lawn tool that I'll get a couple seasons out of!
