I have only done a small patch of my lawn so far, but am amazed at the amout of thatch it picked up. I wish it had a larger collection bag.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice Looking Product

Just received. About to assemble and try out. Feel like it'll do the job of dethatching and aerating my lawn for much less cost than hiring a landscaper or buying a battery or gas powered machine. Definitely looks like a lot less manual labor than doing it with a dethatch rake and walking the lawn with aerating shoes. I'll submit another review after using it.

Bag fills quickly but I can deal with that.

Other reviewers complain that the collection bag fills too quickly. While true, I don't think there's any way around it. I have to empty it after each row of 25 feet or so. But it's still much better than having to rake afterwards! Plus I found a way to extend the bag filling to about two rows. At the end of the first row, I open the bag and push the accumulated thatch towards the back. This gives me a little more capacity and is still easier than picking up the bag and emptying it after each row.

Great dethatcher!

I had been thinking about renting a dethatcher and instead chose to buy this. If I use it 3 times, it has paid for itself. The ability to change depths is great and easy to do. The only down side is the bag does not capture all of the grass. It seems to be better just to do it without the bag and rake up after. I'm so glad I bought it.

Westinghouse Dethatcher /Aerator

I recently purchased this item and it was easy to assemble / connect with a power cord and begin using . I was able to fill up two large green bins with grass cuttings. I still have quite a bit of cuttings yet but I am able to reseed and fertilize so I can have fresh new grass, It is easy to use and has a large thatch bag

16" Dethatcher

Unit runs well and gets the thatch up on level 1 & 2 . 3& 4 must be awful low!
Now as to the instructions assembling...no where does it address 3 items that are parts..2 are the cord attachments and easy to snap on at the end by looking at the picture, but item 13 should have been put on back when you install the mid handle...so you get to take off parts to add item 13 and then rebuild what I already had built! directions are incomplete!

Initial reaction is great!

I just got this and assembled the handles. Instructions could have been a little clearer, including securing the collection bag to it's frame, but 78 y.o. me managed it. First test on small patch of lawn was amazing! My lawn was so bad that I will be emptying bag frequently, but that's minor considering on the amount of material that is being collected. Overall, I believe this is a great piece of equipment at a very decent price point.
