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.

Work horse!

Would Recommend

After 20 years of no raking there was plenty of thatch in the lawn. This little machine did a very good job of removing it.

Does the job

Would Recommend

Better than detaching by hand. Would like a battery powered version at a similar price.

So Far So Good

Would Recommend

Assembly was fairly easy. Lucky I read the reviews and remembered to add the cord holder. I was able to try both blades with two passes before it started raining. Seems to work properly.

Lawn Aerator/Dethatcher

Would Recommend

This is a workhorse. I dethatched for my entire lawn over a two-day period without the bagger. The bag would have filled too fast and hindered my work so I used my lawn leaf blower to capture the dethatched grasses to dispose of. Even with the electrical cord needed to operate I completed the project myself. One safety measure that is not addressed in the instruction booklet that is very important to consider is - 'Call Before You Dig', 811 in CT - especially if you are going the added depth...

Wonderful

Would Recommend

The dethatcher rake works well. I have not used the aerator / scarifier blade. I mainly got this unit for the dethatcher. Renting one for 2 seasons would easily pay for this unit so I decided to buy this instead of renting. The unit seems light but it works well and as intended. I would recommend this as a buy if you are looking for a good home lawn dethatcher. It is small and light enough to easily store and the handle folds down. I use it with a 12/3 extension cord, 75’ using a 20A outlet. I ...

Great product, powerful motor and easy to use.

Would Recommend

This de-thatcher was very easy to assemble and was very light and powerful for it's size. Living here in the south we are plagued with red clay that can be as hard as concrete but it had no problems going through it when using the aerator. When using the thatcher it also was a breeze however it does cause a lot of dust even when using the supplied bag.

Powerful, Easy, and Effective Dethatcher!

Would Recommend

Love this dethatcher! The Westinghouse 13-inch model is powerful, easy to use, and made a huge difference in my lawn after just one use. It pulled up a surprising amount of thatch and the adjustable depth settings let me fine-tune it for different areas. Lightweight and easy to maneuver, plus it folds up nicely for storage. Great value for the price, highly recommended for any homeowner looking to refresh their lawn!

Powerful and effortless

Would Recommend

This thing is powerful! I walked just about 3 steps and it has collected and shredded so much grass and resurfaced the dirt beneath with self propel power. And thats using the blade that came attached, but there's also another blade that comes with it for even more precision. I set my gear to 2 it has 4 settings but I'd recommend starting with the highest number which makes the dethacther taller off the ground. Assembly was pretty easy. Looking at the photo was enough to figure it out. You do wa...
