Worthless

Do not waste your money on this dethatcher. It overheats within 30 minutes of use and shuts down. The cool down takes hours. I’m sorry I bought it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Needs improvement

Although only two bolts need to be removed to replace tynes, the nuts just turn not coming out. After removing the top, found it full of dry grass. Is this a FIRE hazard?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A good idea, poor execution

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the idea of this product, but from the first use it over heats and you have to wait an hour to continue to do the work. The bag holds little and falls off all the time. Should of returned it. I own a worx lawnmover and snowblower and love them. Wish I could get it fixed or exchanged
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Valued Customer. Thank you for sharing your experience and review with us. It is unfortunate to learn that the WG850 did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback as this will help us improve with our products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easiest way to dethatch your lawn! Plug it in and off you go! This work horse even worked great on way to thick St Augustine grass! My husband loves that I can handle this all by myself!
I would recommend this to a friend!

It did it’s job and did it well. I had no idea there was that much thatch in my lawn. My lawn is more vibrant and healthier than it’s ever been and this product helped it get that way.

Great Customer Support
on August 18, 2023
Posted by: BD86

After damaging my lawn mower by using a thatching blade,
I decided to try the Worx Lawn Thatcher. WG850
It performs great.
Because I also thatch half way through the summer, the 3 level height setting is very helpful.
But the grass catching bag is too small to be helpful. I don't use it.
However, A Shout Out:
Congratulations to your customer support rep. Initials NJ.
Its so nice to speak to a rep who is friendly, professional and helpful.
That seems to be so rare these days.
I would recommend this to a friend!
