Rank #7 in Best Lawn Scarifier 2026: 10 Ranked, and the 36V Trap
Hyundai 1600W Electric Lawn Scarifier, 36cm, 45L
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Hyundai HYSC1600E is the number 7 pick in this guide and the cheapest machine on it at £109.99. Unlike the cordless scarifiers higher up the list, there is no voltage figure to interrogate here: the listing gives the power source as "Corded Electric" and quotes a 1600W motor, so the headline number is the motor itself rather than the sum of two battery packs. There is also no second purchase hiding behind the price — the 10m cable is part of the machine, not an extra.
The listing sets out a 36cm (14in) working width, five working heights from -12mm to +6mm on a central lever, a 45L quick-release collection bag and a weight of 13kg — the last of which appears in both the bullet points and the dimensions line, and the two agree. One number on the page does not agree with another: the listing quotes 169 ratings at 4.6 out of 5, while the star breakdown shown beside it adds up to 100 ratings (76 five-star, 15 four-star, 4 three-star, 1 two-star, 4 one-star). Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing and the reviews shown with it, not from a test of our own.
How those 169 ratings break down

Questions people ask
Does the Hyundai HYSC1600E come with a battery?
No. The listing gives the power source as "Corded Electric" and the machine runs from a standard 10m power cable, so the £109.99 buys the tool itself with nothing else to add to the price.
What is the working width of the HYSC1600E?
36cm, which is the same figure the product title gives as 14 inches.
How many working heights does it have?
Five, switched with a central lever, covering -12mm to +6mm.
How much does the Hyundai HYSC1600E weigh?
13kg. That figure appears in the fifth bullet point and again in the product dimensions line, and the two match.
What size is the collection bag?
45 litres, and the listing describes it as quick-release.
How many ratings does the HYSC1600E have?
The listing quotes 169 ratings with an average of 4.6 out of 5. The star breakdown shown alongside them adds up to 100 ratings, so those two numbers on the page do not match.
