[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This piece of equipment is very useful and has really decent power considering it is electric. It did a great job on our established bermuda grass in the areas where it was thick with dead grass. I do think this machine may struggle with thicker yards meaning it would run out of power more quickly. This machine is easy to setup and even easier to use. It it fairly compact making it easy to store in the garage as well. I was worried it may tear up the existing grass but it did not and now the grass coming up where we have used it is great and coming in a lot thicker. In all a really good piece of equipment!
Today I used the SunJoe AJ805E dethatcher to dethatch my front lawn...perhaps 2000+ sq ft. I used the uppermost height setting on a trial strip. That worked OK. I found that as you walked forward with the unit you had to adjust the handle up/down until you felt the unit "pulling" which to me it was actually working. And it did its job. The bag is a bit small so 2 up and down strips filled the bag and it was ready for emptying. The unit did leave some pile of "stuff" along the way. After I finished dethatching I used my lawn mower to suck up & bag some of the "stuff" that was left from the unit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine really cleared out that excess material. I couldn’t believe there was so much of the thatch! It done a good job on the lawn. Machine was super easy to put together. Well build. Great tool. This thing is amazing!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was very easy to put together for use. It worked like a charm! I didn’t realize how bad I needed to dethatch my lawn. One pass and I saw a noticeable difference. I love how lightweight this machine is compared to the gas alternative. It was also very easy to clean and the size makes storage much easier. It is very quiet which is my favorite feature. The high power motor and the large collection bag make this a must have.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Sun Joe Electric Lawn Dethatcher was easy to assemble and the instructions including the depth setting guide, were easy to follow. The machine itself seems to work well but it’s not ideal for a larger yard because of the extension cord required for use. I found myself fighting with the extension cord or worrying about running over it the entire time I was using the machine.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, this Sun Joe electric lawn dethatcher came at a perfect time. Spring is my husband's favorite season because he loves bringing our lawn back to life after winter. This dethatcher is great for clearing up those patches on your lawn, and he is loving life now that he has an electric one to help him!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Sun Joe Electric Lawn Dethatcher is just what our yard needed this year. The machine game with a 13.2-gallon collection bag for the clippings. The machine was easy to set up, and a breeze to run. The height can be adjusted, and I was able to get it to just the right height to maximize the thatch depth. I highly recommend if someone has been renting dethatcher machines. The bagger can be taken off if you prefer to just rake the clippings, and dry grass. I like that it is electric, with nothing to refill or change. We can keep the machine in our garage without a lawn smell.I will be using it again in a few weeks, just to get the lawn ready for full growing season.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my Sun Joe scarifier and dethatcher for a couple of weeks and I finally got to use it. When I received it, it came with everything to put it together. It was super easy to put together. Does a great job making my yard look better
