but do they get rid of the moss is the important thing, or would I have to
rake it a few times

I have moss in my garden, Is there a moss machine to remove the moss,
because the person is disabled and can't use an ordinary rake because
it
takes great effort, and if there is are they any good

i think they are called 'scarifiers'... spelling may be off there, but
they are electric things that get the moss out of lawns. you'd still
have
to pick it up though

Like lawn-mowers, some scarifiers come with attachments which collect
the material removed.

Yeah the only problem is the quantity of the stuff.

I end up having to empty the bin every few feet when I do mine.

Otherwise they're very easy to use and a lot of them are self propelled
which would be good for the OP.

You'll need to kill the moss first but when you are ready to scarify you'll
need to go over it a few times.

The first go is the worst and less comes off with each subsequent pass.

In my experience having used one I'd never even consider manual raking now
and yes they're very effective.
