Serves its purpose, but cheaper elsewhere Jun 26, 2007
By Ivan Lai
"Ivan"
This aerator works as it's intended, and wetting the lawn half a day before coring does make it much easier. We have clay underneath the lawn, so the part that was dry was quite hard to core through. It's been a week and a half, and we can see some green grass coming out of the brown patches now. And in response to the person that mentioned it's hard to empty out the holes, you don't need to empty it, just keep pushing it into the ground. Each dig pushes out the dirt from the prior dig. After you're done, just stand up a stick on the ground and push through it to empty the hole, simple as that.
Having said all that, I did see a very similar corer/aerator at home depot for $20. Wish I had bought that one.
Also, a word of advice - stay away from the 4-prong aerator. It's hard enough to push through the 2-prong, I can't imagine the 4-prong working too well.

 Be careful Aug 01, 2006
By Chris
"Chris"
This aerator works great. It's a little time consuming but if you do a small area at a time, it's worth using. My only complaint is that when I received it, I used it that night - it worked great, and the following morning. Unfortunately, the handle snapped that morning. You have to be careful and not put too much pressure on the handle. Use your foot on the core base to drive the cores into the ground.

 All that from something invented over 4000 years ago? Jul 06, 2007
By J. Mcghee
"V_RocKs"
I had a section of lawn that was put in before I moved in. The section is like clay and must be tough for the grass to get water... It runs off into other parts of the lawn... Area was always dry and barely any grass. Used this to make plug holes in the area and like magic... It looks like the rest of the lawn now. No extra watering, no fertilizers... Just a couple of holes in the ground and a world of difference.
So I used it on the rest of my lawn. Now the whole thing looks like I fertilized it but I didn't. My neighbors are hammering me for what fertilizer I used.

Treat it like exercise and you've saved yourself a bundle Mar 24, 2009
By Tarheel_In_VA
This is a sturdy piece of equipment. It does the job quite well. I was skeptical about the quality, but was surprisingly pleased.
You do have to carry around a dowel or something to push out dirt if it gets stuck, because the thing about aeration is that you are trying to pull soil from down below and pull it out onto the top of the ground. You don't want to just jam it down as someone else said like a metal rod compacting the soil more around the hole. By pulling soil out, you allow oxygen and water to get down into the soil for the roots, but eventually this fills back up with organic matter and surrounding soil.
I have a 40 by 40 back yard and this was definitely not a job for the big rental machines. Even if I got a bunch of neighbors together, it wouldn't make renting a gas machine worthwhile. I finished the whole yard in less than an hour and it was good exercise. So, skip a workout and go finish your yard. You'll save yourself a bundle and not pollute the air. The beauty of this thing is that you can pull it out yearly and go over some trouble spots. And you don't have to do the whole yard.

 Broke after 10 minutes May 10, 2009
By Charlie
Huge disappointment. It sheared in half after only 10 minutes of use. It's made of steel, but in at least two parts: the shaft is joined to the fork with a light solder. So unless you apply perfectly even downward pressure, the joint isn't going to hold. By the way, this isn't the first core aerator I've used. I borrowed my neighbor's for two seasons of heavy-duty use and had no problems. Wish he hadn't moved.
