Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome tool! Great tool! I was amazed at how much thatch it actually pulled up from my yard. I have a small yard, and I easily filled the catch bag 7 times. I don't think they could ever make a bag big enough to hold all the thatch this will pull up. And after all that, the yard looks much better already. It's really light weight, and the bag is really easy to get on an off for quick emptying. The height adjustment is odd, but it actually works really well. Overall I was able to dethatch my small yard in a matter of minutes. No fuss at all.

I bought this dethatcher figuring it would be just about good enough for my needs. What I discovered was that it worked really well and gave me a lot of bang for the buck. The little bag on the back is nearly useless and I knew the chord would be a pain but the motor has plenty of power, the tines bite in well and you can dethatch a 5000 sq ft lawn in a relatively short period of time. You'll just need to rake up afterwards but that's a given. I dethatched, overseeded and fertilized and after a month my lawn looks better than it has in years. One more thing. I'm tall and it isn't advertised but you can easily adjust the height of the handlebar.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Earthwise DT71613 Not impressed with Misleading advertisement by Home Depot - shows unit comes with a catch bag and offers no indication to think otherwise BUT It Does Not come with a catch bag !!! Because of this I missed the opportunity to use it this spring and had to order the catch bag separately directly from Earthwise … and so I haven’t actually used the unit yet so I cannot comment on its quality nor capability !! Also, because this Earthwise unit is not a direct supply line for HomeDepot I could not return it, and also spent too much wasted time receiving an annoying run around when trying to remedy this issue of it not coming with a catch bag as was advertised.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Does the work but as expected just like the Sun... Does the work but as expected just like the Sun Joe and the Greenworks version, bagging isn't practical. It does what it is supposed to be used for but I don't feel it is superior than the other two electric dethatcher brands. I chose it since it was a bit cheaper that time but currently Greenworks and even Worx cost less. On my first use one of the wheel pulled off the machine while I was dethatching the front lawn. Still better because with Sun Joe on my second use the drive or gear gave up even if the motor is spinning it is useless then I have to send it back to manufacturer for replacement.

We had a huge moss problem we let go for years and this machine pulled it out with no problems. The grass we did have is starting to fill in. We also have some pine trees and we are constantly picking up pine cones and this machine rakes them up with ease. This will be our go to tool for leaf's and cones for sure.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good performing machine (usage about 2hrs so far). However the catcher is absolutely worthless,... Good performing machine (usage about 2hrs so far). However the catcher is absolutely worthless, as it is 1/3 the size is should be. If this is your initial dethatching, you'll get huge amounts of loose material even at the least setting and you'll be emptying the catcher every 40 feet. Unless you have a super dinky yard, you'll give up and run it without the catcher and then use a mower to pick it up. Useless catcher! It is also super annoying dealing with the power cord but that is known before purchase. Cordless and no catcher would be perfect. Shipping was slow UPS GROUND. Took over a week.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It’s awesome! Throw out your dethatching blade Very impressed with all the dead grass this unit clears out. It does an amazing job. For years I used a dethatching blade. I see now, what a poor job this was doing. Get yourself one of these, you won’t be disappointed! Remove the rear bag, use a bungee cord to keep the rear door open and get the job done! The bag is too small, and if it was bigger it would get too heavy in no time. This thing removes a huge amount of dead grass!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Did a great job dethatching an established and very dense Zoysia lawn I bought this machine because my Mantis dethatcher died after years of service. This machine did a great job dethatching on a very thick and established Zoysia lawn. Compared to the Mantis this machine is much quieter and easier to control. It was not necessary for me to scalp the lawn beforehand for this to work well which was a plus. I would recommend this machine so long as a it holds up over time.

Will this work without the bag attached?

Asked by: KJ
Yes in my case it was easier to thatch out the moss and then rake it up because there was so much moss I would go a few feet and then have to dump the bag.

We have a neighboring sweet gum tree that drops those brown spiky balls. Will those clog the machine? Do I need to rake and remove them from my yard before dethatching?
Asked by: SomeDude
No it will not clog the machine. Best thing to do is to pick up as much as you can any debris like branches or those spiky balls that you mention. The machine racks in a sweeping rotating motion that sends it into the discharging bag that comes with the machine.

What are the package dimensions?

I'm debating on having this item delivered to the store to ensure safer delivery in the event I'm not home but I'm not sure if it will fit in the back seat or trunk of my car. What are the box dimensions? Thank you!
