At B&Q you can get one with 4 tubes and costs £16!

As I stood contemplating this gadget at B&Q a gentleman came up to me and
whispered "Rubbish - save your money - I bought one and it just chokes with
grass and muck without lifting out the tubefuls of muck as promised"

I guess the performance depends on the type of soil in your lawn but if the
lawn looks as though it needs aerated then it will be fairly heavy. I'd just
use a fork as suggested elsewhere.
