Comments

J. Zaylea: This thing is a beast. It works for my Zoyia 1/4 acre yard in hot weather. Pulled up enough dead grass to fill 5 paper reuse bags! I had a different brand before and the belts basically melted after they fell away from the spindle cogs. This Earthwise one seems to be a big bang for the buck. It is well build and doesn't seem to heat up like the other brand I have used in the past.

Jason T. Myers: So, the good first. The tines on this thing are nice and sharp. Digs into the grass and dirt wonderfully. I had so much thatch and it did rip it all up. I have it on the deepest setting. Its light and easy to put together. You can go at a nice pace too and it'll rip everything out, just make sure you don't run over the cord. The cord for it doesn't even touch the ground. Don't expect anything from that. I bought a 50' extension cord just for this. My yard was neglected for 15 years from the prior owners.

Now the bad. The left front wheel came off 4 times so far. Like, it unscrewed itself. I have it so tight right now the wheel doesn't spin anymore. At least it's staying on, for now. This is made of cheap thin plastic which isn't too big of a deal considering the motor and tines need to work properly. They do. I tightened all the screws and plastic nuts as tight as I could for the handles. They unscrewed themselves.

To sum this up, it perfectly does what it was made to do. But that's it. The construction is terrible. At this price point it should be more sturdy and not be coming apart. I wouldn't buy it again, and it's getting returned.

Constance S Klagge: I finally got to use it. Considering I'm dealing with RA and awaiting spinal surgery I was able to use this in my yard. I researched all the dethatchers and this one was my choice for purchase. It's lightweight, cost effective and very simple to assemble (attaching the handle). Kinda wish the capacity of the bag was a bit bigger because yes it fills up way too quickly. I use the bag because of my physical conditions and unable to rake. I've only done a small portion of my front yard so far because of the pain I deal with but I am very happy with the outcome. After I dethatch, aerate and fertilize then I can seed. My goal is to recover the nice yard I used to have and I look forward to springtime. Once I'm done with the dethatching, I will post pictures. Since I haven't done the whole yard yet I can get in some before and after pictures. The compacted dead grass clippings have really damaged my yard that the grass couldn't grow. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has a small to average sized yard in a residential area.

Dr. Corey J. CsakaiDr. Corey J. Csakai: Used this dethatcher for about 15 20 minutes and was EXTREMELY pleased with how it was working. Stopped to take a phone call and when I resumed it had a knocking type sound. I intially thought it might be a belt slipping but upon inspection it looks like the bolt that goes into the drum to drive it stripped the female slot and as a result when enough resistance is met the drum doesn't spin with the motor. I will be calling support and will update the review depending on what I'm told.

Update ::. Put an inquiry into America lawnmower.com regarding what I had found. I didn't receive a call or email, instead a new unit was left at my front door a few days later.

Upgrading to 4 stars as unit worked great when it worked and very satisfied with the replacement being sent

Mr RangerMr Ranger: It is time to re-seed my entire lawn (12,000 sq ft). In the 15 years, I've lived here, I have never watered the grass. This year, it became necessary to re-seed (going with a Fescue blend hoping that it will survive the heat of the summer better).

Making multiple passes in some areas, it took me 4 hours from start to finish. I used the grass catcher for the entire project. Although it is small and has to be dumped frequently, I figured that it would be easier than raking afterward. I tried to divide the yard into short row areas where I could go out and come back to the receptacle to empty the clippings. This worked well. In my case, I am convinced this was the way to go. I don't believe I could rake my entire yard in 4 hours.

My lawn took a beating with a long dry period this summer. When the grass thinned, the weeds moved in. In the picture included, the brown areas are where I killed off the weeds. I waited three weeks and then dethatched, running the unit over the weed areas from several directions. When done the weeds are mostly gone and I have a lot of ground for the new grass seeds to contact. If you were able to zoom in on the picture you would also be able...
