Very happy with purchase! Works well. Will be something we can use all season if needed and use again next spring. Other reviews talked about clogging, we experienced that but we’re able to use a drill bit and clean it out quickly. Have used it several times and have found that when the ground is wet, not soaked, is the perfect time and we have avoided the clogs.

I have a small yard and hoped this tool would be capable of handling the aerating chores in a cost effective manner. For the most part it did, but not without it's problems. I watered my lawn several hours before attempting to use the tool. For some unknown reason, the right tine consistently clogged with soil, requiring I stop and dig out packed dirt several times. I tried spraying the inside and outside of the tube with silicone spray which helped only a little. There did not seem to be any manufacturing defect that would cause this clogging; the right tine was visibly identical to the left, which never clogged. I tried reversing the tool; the same tine would clog on the left side. I had my son use it with the same results. When it was working correctly, it did a ... MoreI have a small yard and hoped this tool would be capable of handling the aerating chores in a cost effective manner.

Next year I'll try watering more, and earlier. I did like that it was half the quoted price to have someone do the job with a power aerator.

This would work in certain type of soil, however, if you have sand and/or clay and then you would have a tough time. I tried it in the moist soil, which worked fine in regular soil, however, part of my lawn had a mixture of sand and clay. It would just clog in first few attempts, which is really hard to unclog. I had to use pressure hose to clean it off. After drying it, I tried to use WD40 and tried again. It gave me slightly longer mileage but again same thing. I repeat the cleaning and WD40 and tried on different parts of the lawn, which lasted much longer, however, one side clogged and had to clean & WD40 again. I tried this cycle a few times, then attempted to do it when it gets bit drier. Unfortunately, it can't even punch a hole when it's dry.It would clog ... MoreThis would work in certain type of soil, however, if you have sand and/or clay and then you would have a tough time.

Looked up other aerators and saw few with a hole on the side of the plug which should be much more effective design and mechanism than solely relying on pushing out.

This is powered by whoever is using it. Labor intensive tool that requires enough muscle to push through soil and pull back out. It will clog in some soils. I wait until after it rains to use it. To control clogging I spray the inside of the corers with cooking spray. If they clog keep a screwdriver handy. Not for large yards but I've managed and I'm 73. Very economical resource if you have the strength and stamina to stick with it. The results are just as good as a big heavy machine.
This tool works remarkably well. Best to use it when soil is dampened after a rain or watering. It won't push through tree roots, but otherwise you're good.. except when it clogs. The clogging can be tough to clear with a screwdriver or other tool, so you might wanna do what I did to make life easier. Total hardware cost about $7, plus some scrap lumber and some time.It would be easy but dangerous to make something that just had two prongs sticking up. The trick is to make it safe.You'll need a piece of 4x4, some 2x4, and a piece of 3/4x3-1/2" or thereabouts. Then you'll need (2) Hex Bolts 1/2x6" CBL, (4) Cut Washers 1/2" AGB, (4) Hex Nuts 1/2" AHF, and some wood screws to assemble everything.Drill 13/16" holes in the 4x4 spaced to match your aerator tool.

Drill 1/2" holes in the longer length of 2x4 to match your tool (and to also align with the holes in the 4x4). Cut pieces of 2x4 for the bottom stabilizing "feet". Cut pieces of the 3/4x3-1/2" to use as spacers for the inside nuts (leave room for a wrench to hold the inside nuts), and to span the stabilizing feet. Assemble everything to check fit, then remove the 6" bolts WITHOUT DISASSEMBLING and bench-grind the end of the bolts a bit to make it easier to align and push the tool down for clearing jams. Thread a nut onto the bolt prior to grinding to aid in "cleaning up the threads" after the grinding is complete.To unclog your aerator, just align the tool with the ends of the bolts and push down with your foot, just like if you were pushing it into the ground.It takes some effort to make this, but it sure makes cleaning clogs from the aerator go much quicker and easier.
If you don't mind a physical approach, this gets the job done for a small or medium yard. I've read reviews where people complain about the plugs getting stuck in the tool. The key to minimizing this starts with picking a tool that has smooth welds from the factory. Before purchasing, look inside the tines, and see if the seams are smooth. A vertical seem/weld is expected, but some of the tools have horizontal junk metal areas which should not be in the tubes. Reject these units until you find one that is decently made with a smooth vertical seem only, with no junk welds or manufacturing defects in the tubes. Another important factor is to use this on a fairly wet lawn, this way the plugs will slide through more easily. I was able to do my entire lawn with only one ... MoreIf you don't mind a physical approach, this gets the job done for a small or medium yard.

Another important factor is to use this on a fairly wet lawn, this way the plugs will slide through more easily. I was able to do my entire lawn with only one instance of a tube not ejecting the cores. I unplugged the blockage with a screwdriver and a garden hose, then it started working again. I would recommend this tool, but you must expect to put some elbow grease into this task and you'll be able to get the job done.
The little tool works well for my lawn and it is good exercise. I work with the tool about 1 or 1.5 hours each day until my lawn is done. I sweat badly before I am out of streng. It was clogged when I started. so I clean the clog then apply some WD40 to the internal surface. No more clog for the rest of time in folllowing days.One small thing I am not very happy with is the single vertical bar design. Sometimes, it is in the way and hit my knee. I wish it has the 2-bar design as others which allow leg settle between them.Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase.
Against my better judgment, I tried a product like this from Lowe's for the 3rd time in the last 10-12 years, thinking that the manufacturing had to get better. No such luck - same problem as always and I will be returning it.Like the Review Title explains - only one tine ejects the plugs back onto the lawn. The other tine gets compacted / clogged quickly and good luck not injuring yourself trying to clean out the clogged tine. I tried all the tricks - filing the inside of the tine down, soap detergent, Pam spray - nothing works on the defective tine. while the other tine easily ejects plugs with every step.If the product was made with a single tine that actually ejected the plugs, it would still be 100x faster than using this product with two tines where one ... MoreAgainst my better judgment, I tried a product like this from Lowe's for the 3rd time in the last 10-12 years, thinking that the manufacturing had to get better.

If it is not ejecting the core, it is just further compacting the soil.I even flipped the aerator around with each step, thinking that weight distribution or clay soil had something to do with it. Nope - once one of the tines got clogged, that same tine clogged up whether it was on the left side of my foot or the right sight of my foot. Maddening!
While using this tool on a section of my back yard, I stopped several times when a side wasn't ejecting plugs, and spent ten minutes or so unjamming it with a screwdriver and even washing it clean with a hose. I finally realized it was the same side giving me issues, and looking closer at that side's tube I realized there was a horizontal seam that I think was to blame. I went to Lowes and exchanged it for another one, this time making sure to choose one with smooth tubing on the inside. Some of the others in the store had that same lateral seam, I attached a picture of one. Look out for these!The new one worked great! I did the entire front and back yard with it, it almost never plugged up, and when it did, it was easy to unclog. I was amazed how well it worked, ... MoreWhile using this tool on a section of my back yard, I stopped several times when a side wasn't ejecting plugs, and spent ten minutes or so unjamming it with a screwdriver and even washing it clean with a hose.

I did the entire front and back yard with it, it almost never plugged up, and when it did, it was easy to unclog. I was amazed how well it worked, punching through some tough dirt and popping out long plugs of soil. (Side note: as well as it worked, doing this manually on about 2000 sq. ft. was just too much work and time in the end, and I should have just rented an aerator)I also followed several helpful bits of advice from these reviews. I watered the lawn the day before using this. And when I went back to Lowes I grabbed two bolts (1/2" X 6") and a scrap of wood to put them through, so I could unjam it quickly, which worked well but I barely needed it. I also sprayed WD-40 on the second one in case that helped.So Corona deserves 5 stars for the design, but 1 star for the quality control. Make sure you get a good one!
It has been raining here for a month. I thought if ever I could aerate my lawn by myself, it would be now. I just went to the store and purchased one. Looked at every one they had. None had the horizontal mold mark that shows in one reviewer's picture. But all had one side with a vertical mold. I chose the one with the least amount of irregularity. Came home, and the thing worked like a champ for the first 20 or so plugs. Then one side didn't empty out. "Aha!" I thought. "I've got a small rock in the core." I cleaned it out with a screwdriver and took after the lawn again. The one side pulls out a core, the defective side punches a hole. I'm not a man with a well stocked garage, ready to retool a defective product, nor do I want to buy a file to smooth out that ... MoreIt has been raining here for a month.

I think if I pay $30 for a manual tool, both sides should work! Luckily, I can do the physical work of punching out two plugs. But it seems ridiculous to only have one side pulling a plug.I'm taking it back.
