What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the dethatcher for its exceptional effectiveness at removing thick thatch layers with minimal effort, with most noting dramatic lawn improvements after single use. The lightweight design and intuitive assembly earn consistent approval, requiring no prior experience. Many appreciate the multi-position depth adjustment for varying lawn conditions and quick blade switching. A few note the collection bag fills quickly, requiring frequent emptying, though this minor inconvenience does not diminish overall satisfaction. Most customers consider it excellent value compared to professional equipment rental.

Awesome product

Oh my goodness this is the best thing ever. It’s my new baby. I thatched my yard today and I must say, I’m impressed. It’s llight weight and easy for me to maneuver. My husband did good with this purchase.

We just purchased this product and it worked fantastically! My husband filled up 4 bagfuls of dead grass on our front yard alone! Great product…would highly recommend, especially in South Georgia where the sun scorches everything!

Fast assembly & Easy To Use

Would Recommend

Assembled and used it on the same day I received it. It ran great and I used the thatcher. One small issue is that the guidelines in the User Manual are not as complete as possible.

Dead grass

Would Recommend

I bought the thacher for my beach house lawn. So far it looks like it pulled up alot of dead grass but the assembly instructions are terrible.

I zip tied the bag to bag frame

Would Recommend

This works great. VERY pleased with the purchase. I used 3 small zip ties to attach the back of the catcher bag to the catcher bag frame so it would do a better job.

Doesn’t feel premium

Assembly instructions are unclear. Feels like a toy.

16" Aerator / Dethatcher

Would Recommend

Just got this! Was easy to assemble. Dethatches like a champ/ Haven't used the aerator blade yet. Definitely better than detaching by hand and much quicker! Just wish the bag could hold more.

Lied about inventory

Would Not Recommend

Ordered on the 3/29 with delivery ETA on 4/2. Never arrived but Lowes says it shipped, Fedex says it has not. Now when you search the part number online a week later, its unavailable in every store near me, and when I searched it yesterday there was plenty of stock. Now i cant cancel order because Lowes says it has "shipped" Pulled the bait switch, do not order.
