I was not expecting much, reviews were hit or miss and there were't any youtube vids showing it in action outside of the manufacturer so I took a gamble. I bought and returned the yard butler previously because it kept clogging and fully expected this would have the same issues. IT WORKS AWESOME!!! For the price, worth every penny.
Built very sturdy, I was really surprised how tough it is. Each piece came individually wrapped in plastic, the thick kind not the saran wrap plastic. Well boxed and shipped quick.
Key to success: The handle curve has to face away from you, it is counter intuitive but this is how you get the leverage you need. Your soil has to be very wet, I luckily had 2 inches of rain over 3 days and right after went and used it for the first time. The picture is about 5 minutes of use. You can see all the cores and my grass is about 5 inches tall right now so not the easiest to get through.
Tip #2 is that you have to use a rolling motion when you push and step on the box. You will want to rock it back and forth forward twice or 3 times to really get it through the soil. Like I said, I have about 5 inches of grass and rolling it back and forward a few times while I stepped on the box and leaned forward, I was able to get a good system working. So far, no clogs yet but as long as the ground is fully saturated, I am not expecting any issues. Probably best to do it right after getting an inch or more of rain, while the top of the surface is still wet to the touch.
This is a hidden gem. The negitive reviews I read I now realized was more user error than anything else.
This is an honest review and I was not paid or compensated in any way to write this.
