Gave it four stars as it can struggle through thicker thatch, otherwise a great asset for anyone who wants to keep their lawn in tip top condition. At present I’ve only used the scarifier.
Nigel Hirst –
I bought the kit with 2 batteries, which is a good job because they only last 10 or 15 minutes and take about 90 minutes to charge!
The scarifier does what it should, but I find the flap above the basket has a sharp edge which can make my thumb sore with continued lifting

Excellent customer focussed service provided by Garden Machinery Direct.
The STIHL product delivers a superior performance in the garden that heralds excellent results for the months to come. The extra battery bonus is a real boon that ensures no stopping for lack of power.
I found the initial set up to be fiddly and swapping the blades to be even more so!
