I bought this because the cost was lower than the other rakes. I was told raking your matted carpet will really help to bring it back.
So I figured for the cost I would try it.
Its very flimsy and is already breaking where it is stressed on both sides of the place where the pole inserts, only after minutes of use. This should be labeled a one-time use only, but no for doing whole carpets as its not going to last. At least I didn't spend very much (under $10). SO I take it as a lesson learned. Once it breaks and I cant use it with a pole I may use it by hand.
The bristles are not as stiff as I expected and it does a so-so job bringing the carpet back up. There are no instructions so I have been using it in a pulling motion, maybe I am using it wrong?

After just one use a fine crack line appeared below where the pole is inserted. Second use, the crack turned into a complete break. The plastic where the pole joins is too thin and not durable. Lucky for me, my husband was able to re-attach the rake head by adding a liquid plastic compound and a long screw for added support. Now it is usable and I love the result after raking my carpet. Be aware that it will break after a couple of uses, but it can be fixed. It's just a shame that the manufacture of this product doesn't upgrade it the same way my husband did.

I thought I loved this rake at first, but after just a few uses it created a large crack across the plastic part that attaches to a handle. Now is just flops around and it useless. If they had made the main part out of metal instead of plastic it would have been a great product. I would not suggest you waste your money on this product.
