It works, as much in advance! The device is certainly suitable only for small areas and willing to work gardener. I was after about 60 square meters at the end with the strength. The device brings a lot of stuff out of the grass and after 4 weeks of once again looks really fat out. The link between work unit and associated stem keeps very well. The handle can also be used for other devices, provided you invest in the right. Probably this procedure is due once a year. Conclusion: connected to work, but for the price completely ok in the garden center around the corner the way there the same equipment for about the same price.
