Monica Manual Lawn Aerators,17" Aerator LawnTool,Lawn Aerator Roller for Garden Grass Patio Yard (Black)

Assembly was easy, however the instructions left a lot to be desired. Had to load the canister with rock to make it heavy enough to work well, however for the price it did a good job.

I purchased this because of the large amount of mushroom growth in my yard.The aerator provides good coverage, helping to improve soil compaction and promoting healthy grass growth by allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil.The manual operation is straightforward, making it easy for homeowners to use without needing complex instructions or additional tools.Good for smaller yards

Yes, it is true this is a good concept but, it's not the easiest thing to put together. I took some advice on here and filled it with rocks to make the drum heavier so I wouldn't need to put so much pressure on it. I also wet my dirt for easier use. But I still had to put alot of pressure on it which was causing the bolt to keep coming off of one side. I have a small backyard this should have taken 30 minutes at most instead it took almost 2 hours each time the bolt flew off I had to find it and put it back on 3 times! When it works it does a good job just a headache.

Instructions were written in broken English and while it should be simple enough to build as it’s just 4 sets of bolts, nuts, and washers, the pictures don’t differentiate between washer sizes to use. Nuts are also extremely challenging to tighten.Handle/shaft is three pieces connected to each other with a single bolt. Any downward pressure in normal use of the tool would bend the shaft and start wearing down the tightness of the bolts. Imagine your light weight aluminum curtain rods, this is the same joke material for the shaft.While the head/spikes on the tool seem appropriate for the tool, the build quality is some of the worst I’ve ever seen. Do not buy.

It kept coming unscrewed, the aeration was not good enough, had to to keep going over the same spot just to get a good result.

i like that it's easy to work with on soft ground.on compact soil pressure would need to be applied more.

Very easy to assemble, just need a basic screw driver. Set up was only 10 minutes. Heavy enough to do the trick but light enough to not hurt yourself in the process. The spikes are sharp so be careful with that when assembling.

The spikes and drum are heavy duty and will last for a long time. The assembly is not simple but manageable. My biggest criticism is the handle construction and design. I used it on my grass and even though the aerator is heavy, I found myself putting a lot of pressure pushing down to perforate the surface of the lawn which in turn caused some stress on the joints of the pole handle. I can see this will ultimately cause the poles to bend in the future after repeated use. My soil foundation is clay and at the time was a bit dry. I may have to sprinkle my lawn next time to make it easier but I’m afraid this may cause a muddy mess. I may need to rig a solid pole to replace the original one. This is a nice design but needs a bit of improvement.

No pude ni usarlo. Es difícil de armar, no cuenta con instrucciones, no tiene nada de peso cuando logras armarlo e intentar usarlo y a cada rato se safan las tuercas.
