Has anybody had any experience with one of those? Are they worth
using/buying?

Some of our lawn is almost pure moss now; there is too much of it for
hand-raking/scarifying and we can't find any powered machine on the
island to borrow or hire (either petrol or electric) or even, any
contractor who owns a machine and could be paid to do it. The last
resort, would be buying an electric one of our own.

ISTR hearing long ago that electric ones were pretty useless but that
may be out of date.

I borrowed an electric one a few years ago and it worked very well, better
than I expected actually. I can't remember the make of it though.
After the moss and thatch removal my lawn reverted to all grass and I used
to drive my two geese from their overnight hut to spend the day grazing my
lawn.
So, yes, I had a good experience with electric scarifiers.
