- Does it come with batteries and a charger?
- It is sold as a kit with two 4.0 Ah 18V batteries. Check the box contents for the charger, since kit bundles vary.
- Will it work on hard, dry soil?
- It does best on moist, soft ground. In hard or dry soil the tines can struggle, so water the lawn a day before aerating.
- How big a lawn can it handle on one charge?
- It suits small to mid-size lawns. On larger yards expect to swap in the second battery or recharge partway through.
- Does it pull soil plugs like a core aerator?
- It is a light-duty aerator, not a full core aerator. Expect it to loosen and spike the surface rather than pull deep plugs.
- Can I use my other Ryobi 18V batteries in it?
- Yes. It runs on the Ryobi 18V One+ platform, so existing batteries work, though larger packs add weight.
- How do I store it?
- The handle folds down, so it takes less space in a garage or shed than a fixed-handle aerator.
- Where is the Ryobi 18V Brushless 14 in Cordless Aerator cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $479.00, as of our latest check.
