Rank #8 in Best Lawn Scarifier 2026: 10 Ranked, and the 36V Trap
MZK 33cm Lawn Scarifier & Aerator, 13A, 30L
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The MZK 33cm Lawn Scarifier and Aerator is a corded electric machine: a 13 Amp motor quoted at 3700 RPM, a 33 cm working width, four depth settings and a 30 L collection bag. It is number eight in this guide and, at £69.98, the cheapest corded scarifier here — the price gap up to the £164.99 Einhell is bigger than the gap between most of the machines listed above it.
What earns it a place is not the price but the weight. One of its own bullet points says the machine weighs 'just 8.8 kg'; the specification table on the same page gives an item weight of 13 kg. That is 4.2 kg of disagreement inside a single listing, and nothing in the ad explains it. The depth figures have the same problem in miniature: the bullets promise four settings from -12 mm to +4 mm, while the specification fields list a minimum adjustable cutting height of 12 millimetres — the minus sign appears only once. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for the MZK G-AC2403 and from the reviews shown on it. We have not tested this scarifier.

Questions people ask
How heavy is the MZK G-AC2403?
The listing gives two answers. The bullet points say the machine weighs 'just 8.8 kg', while the specification line states an item weight of 13 kg. Both figures appear on the same Amazon page for the MZK G-AC2403.
Does the MZK scarifier need batteries or a charger?
No. The MZK G-AC2403 is listed as corded electric with a 13 Amp motor running at 3700 RPM, so there is no battery or charger to buy on top of the £69.98.
What depth settings does it offer?
The bullets describe 4 depth settings from -12 mm to +4 mm. The specification fields list a minimum adjustable cutting height of 12 millimetres and a maximum of 4 millimetres, so the minus sign only appears in the marketing copy.

33 cm working width. The listing presents that width as suited to small to medium lawns.
What do I get for £69.98?
The listing is for 1 item, described as a lawn scarifier and aerator with a 30 L collection bag for moss, thatch and debris. It also states that no assembly is required.
What warranty does MZK offer?
The listing states a 1-year manufacturer warranty and 24/7 customer support, with contact arranged through the Amazon order.
Can it switch between scarifying and aerating?
Yes. The bullets describe quick-switch blades for dethatching and scarifying, used to remove moss and promote deeper root growth.
