Our approx 600sqm "lawn" resembled the house buying a forgotten military training area. More moss than grass, also still a thick layer all overwhelming larch needles on felt 150sqm. Mole, vole and dogs also acted in the episode still effectively supplement. After a brief attempt to get the problem manually with an appropriate Gardena device in the handle, the decision was made on the reviewed product. The high proportion of plastics has also made me skeptical at first, I tend to otherwise rather gefräßten from the solid things. For longer-term Standfestigekeit I can deliver any experience, I was short the overall concept convinced lightweight but. The unit operates effectively and sustained power, the noise level is the neighborhood reasonable. It does not clog, the catcher makes in spite of getting used to minimal material use a tough impression. In the reclamation of our lawn, it was necessary to have the wheelbarrow near to empty the catcher without great ways to what after a long time often had just the first pass required. This is a simple but enjoyable. So far I'm very happy with the value for money, and I like I said, still can not make a statement about the lifetime.
