The Qualcast Lawnraker 32 that I use is 11 years old and still working. It is very good at raking the moss out of the grass. It rakes out lots of moss and thatch but it is far too much for the flimsy collector to cope with. You will need to do the collecting either by hand or with a large leaf collecting mower. The height setting is important. If it is too low and the rake is labouring than the motor will burn out. The motor must be kept spinning at high speed and I find that I need to move the lawn raker backwards and forwards to achieve this. My lawnraker has just broken down. The switch handle has cracked and will not function correctly. There are lots of online suppliers who will sell you a new handle. Overall I am generally pleased with my lawn raker and I accept its limitations. I do not know of a better one on the market. Final sentence - however hard I try the moss keeps coming back.

You get what you pay for! Collection box is almost a waste of time if only to keep the equipment from falling over. Fairly good at clearing thatch and moss although several passes are needed to finish the job. If the drive belt starts slipping the heat produced can melt the drive pulley as has happened to me on 2 occasions now. Bit of a disappointment. My neighbour bought a cheap scarifier from Lidl does a much better job and aeriates too!

I love my Qualcast Lawnraker 32, I was going to buy the Flymo lawnrake compact 340 but having read so many bad reviews mainly with the motor burning out after a single use etc I was put off completely. My personal view is that Qualcast (Bosch) is a better make than Flymo anyway so I felt I had little to lose. Overall - well pleased, I made the right decision. Easy to select height settings you can collect everything from just leaves and cuttings down to moss and thatch etc.
