This is not a problem with this unit but is a problem with ALL hollow tines whether manual or powered. Ensure the soil is soft enough to penetrate but is not too soft that it 'squiggies' and blocks. A one metre piece of 10mm doweling can be poked into the tine to clear any blockage without bending down. Sometimes it is trial and error until you get the soil consistency right.TIP 2 Clear or Smash Cores: Don't leave the cores on the lawn. Either use the flat back of a landscapers rake to collect them or let them dry and go over them with a rotary mower to smash them. This distributes the soil as a top dressing but only works if your mower instructions allow it to be used without the box. Wear eye, face and leg protection.

I have used this product once so far. It did a good job though it needs some strength to apply it and I would say that a lawn with heavy clay might cause difficulties for the user.

The aerator seems well made and using it is straightforward. Its quite time consuming but hopefully worth the effort.

Looks good - doesnt penetrate our soil easily and blocks with every dig. Basically only useful for a lawn laid on perfect light loam. A good idea but a fork works much better

The tines clog much too easily making the tool extremely annoying to use.I have tried sharpening the outside of the tubes as recommended by Lawnsmith.I hope this will eventually pay dividends but as the soil stuck to the outside of the tines as well I reserve judgement.

I purchased the aerator to improve my lawn but alas the ground is too hard for the aerator to penetrate the lawn.I will try again after winter when hopefully the ground will be softer. I must add that the tool is very well made from welded steel and is very strong.

Will use this in autumn and spring. Item robust enough for the task. Had a problem with delivery. Delivery damaged the original item. A new item was dispatched same day. Excellent customer service.

See my earlier review. This product is totally useless and a fraud.
