The Draper 1200W 330mm 230V Lawn Raker/Scarifier – Stock No.36644, received an overall ‘BEST BUY’ award after featuring in a tried and tested article on electric lawn scarifiers in the October 2014 edition of Amateur Gardening Magazine.

Features – 4/5 Stars
“1200W. Scarifying and raking cassettes. Working width: 12in (30cm) (blades) and 13in (33cm) tines. Various height settings. Weight: 22lbs (10.4kg). Collection bag capacity: 40ltrs. Noise level to 99dB. Cable length: 32ft 9in (10m). Handles can be fitted at two different heights.”

Performance – 5/5 Stars
“Most frustrating thing was assembling the collector, after that it was plain sailing. Quiet, easy to push and manoeuvre it did a good job. The height settings were quickly changed and the swopping over of blades to raking tines was very easy and needed no tools. The raking tines were very effective and could be used a few times each year without leaving a bare lawn. As with all the others on test the collector was ineffective.”

Value – 4/5 Stars
“Lacking some of the nice design touches of the Bosch and Wolf models, but still a very efficient machine, which you’d certainly enjoy using.”
