What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the dethatcher for exceptional performance and ease of use. Most highlight how effectively it removes thatch with adjustable depth settings, with many noting results "better than expected" and comparing it favorably to gas-powered rentals—one user completed a 4-hour job in 45 minutes. The lightweight, compact design with foldable handle and interchangeable blades earns consistent praise for simplicity of assembly and operation. Reviewers emphasize strong value, noting it outperforms renting. A few mention the collection bag fills quickly, and some found assembly instructions unclear, but these minor concerns barely diminish overall satisfaction.

Great lawn tool
Would RecommendBought this tool about 3 weeks ago and absolutely love what it did to my lawn. The thatcher works awesome and then it was super simple to switch the blades.

Excellent product
Would RecommendPrurchased this to get my lawn ready for the summer. Works great and nice to have the dethatcher and aerator in a single unit at this price point. Decided on the larger machine to ensure I have no issues.

It works but could be so much better
Would RecommendIt works really well but the bag does really collect much and it is far too small. I don’t like the plastic feel to it.

Dethatcher
The Westinghouse dethatcher is easy to use and seems to work well, but the cord holder doesn't hold the cord well. An improvement would be to make the bag bigger to hold more debris.

Nice looking and light weight
Great alternative to manual raking or power rake rental. This does the job of dethatching and aerating my lawn for much less cost and much less effort. I'm glad it is light weight and small for easy storage on a shelf.

works great
Would RecommendThis is a great alternative to a power rake rental especially on my hilly yard. A heavy machine would be difficult to manage but this worked very well.

Wow!
Would RecommendI 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.

Nice Looking Product
Would RecommendJust 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.
Would RecommendOther 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 ro...

Great dethatcher!
Would RecommendI 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.

Easy to put together and use, great results.
Would RecommendThis dethatcher works great. It took a 4 hour job and made it a 45 minute job. Needing surgery on my shoulders, this dethatcher SAVED my arms and shoulders. Catcher bag filled up too quick and needed emptied often. I removed the catcher and used my lawn mower afterwards to pick up the thatch and it worked just fine doing it this way.

Westinghouse Dethatcher /Aerator
Would RecommendI 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
Would RecommendUnit 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!
