What Customers Are Saying
The product is a mixed performer. It works reasonably well for small, soft yards, but struggles to effectively aerate soil in larger or more compacted areas, frequently clogging and requiring constant clearing of the tubes. While some found it a decent and affordable option, the majority of users reported the aerating process being tedious and time-consuming due to the persistent clogging issues, especially in clay or compacted soil conditions.

be ready for some physical exertion but rewarding
Would Recommendworks well, left distinct holes
Works well for the price
Would RecommendUsing this product is an excellent workout. Especially since you have to jump on it with all your weight to get it to function properly. The dirt doesn’t always get ejected, even with my full body weight, but I’ve found it works a lot better if the soil is drier. Had to give it 4 stars due to the grip on top. It feels soft at first, but do not use this without gloves. After doing a 500 sq ft area I had bad blisters on my hands.
Manual hand aerator
Would RecommendQuick aeration for small spots in the yard. Ejects the core pretty good of ground is wet.
Solid Manual Aerator That Gets the Job Done
Would RecommendAs a manual coring aerator, it does exactly what you want-pulls solid plugs instead of just poking holes, which really helps with soil compaction and getting air, water, and seed down into the root zone. The construction feels sturdy, and the composite components hold up well without adding unnecessary weight. It takes some effort, especially if your ground is dry or compacted, but that’s expected with any manual aerator. I’ve found it works best after a good watering or rain.
