He showed me pics of his usage, and I figured, why not? It was relatively inexpensive, costing about the same as a one-time rental of a dethatcher from the local rental place. I figured if I get 2 uses out of it and destroy it, I'm ahead of the game. Plus, I could use it at my convenience and not have to worry about returning it. We take pretty good care of our lawn/yard (it's not perfect, especially in the area that used to have an above ground pool, but we try). It's a larger lot (about 1/4 acre) in our neighborhood, and we mow every week with a push mower. We alternate weeks of mulching and bagging, so we really didn't think there would be very much thatch coming up. Boy were we wrong. We started off with my husband cutting and bagging the grass in one direction, and, as he moved to a different section of the yard, I started with the Sun Joe going in the opposite direction, using the dethatching attachment. I followed him around the entire yard doing this. Because we didn't use the bag on the Sun Joe (see "cons" below), he then went OVER the thatched material with the lawnmower to bag it up - first in one direction, and then he did the entire yard AGAIN in the other direction to ensure that it was all picked up. We were going to use our Billy Goat blower, but figured that would make an absolute mess, so we opted for the mowing route. Total time for about 9000sf - 4 hours. And well worth every minute. I should have taken photos, but rest assured that I was completely and utterly dumbfounded at the amount of dead grass and compost-like material that we raised, and it takes quite a bit for me to be impressed by a yard machine. Pros: - easy to assemble - only tool needed was a Philips head screwdriver (also, make sure you push the angled handle portions of the metal tubes ALL THE WAY into the body of the machine - many review complain about this, but I can see where the issue is not pushing in all the way). The rest of the handle is assembled using large, easy to turn plastic thumbscrews. Very convenient. - the height/depth settings are easy to change. Simply push the green t-handle in and move it to the setting you choose. I tried the "0" setting first so as not to damage any grass, and found that moving it to the "-5" setting worked even better and caused no damage. On the areas where we had moss, I moved it to the "-10" setting. Moss no more. - works exactly as described and as needed - they're not inflating the value of this machine, I can safely say. Cons: - the bag. As most other reviews stated, the bag is a joke. True, but we just left it off. See above for how we picked it up without breaking our backs raking. Notes: seriously - make sure you're using the right size extension cord. I used a 12 gauge cord at 100 feet and had ZERO problems. Machine didn't shut off, overheat, or otherwise explode. Also, you can use a tiny bungee cord to wrap around the handle to keep it powered as you move through your yard. The angle of the power switch can get a little uncomfortable over time. Overall - 5 out of 5. I wouldn't change a thing - even the bag. It would take a REALLY big bag for it to be convenient, and the only other option would be a giant vacuum, so I can't count that against them. Review: Apprehensive at first but impressed - It works. I bought a house with a neglected yard. The thatch was so deep that the grass was yellow before mid-June. I rented a huge heavy power rake two different times and I still didn’t get all of the thatch. Then someone in a gardening group suggested this one. I was apprehensive because it was so inexpensive but tried it anyway. When I unboxed it It seemed too lightweight to do the job but the first time I used it I was super shocked. It actually removed way more thatch than the power rake. It does kinda stink that you have to drag a power cord around but on the bright side it makes this lighter weight, you don’t need gas and oil or to winterize it. I can also easily hang it from a hook inside my shed. My neighbor who is always bragging about his grass actually asked to borrow it when he saw how well it worked. I’m not sure if the blade goes dull as others have said (mine did not after one heavy use) but it seems like it would be easy enough to replace it. Now my grass is the greenest on the block because the roots can finally get water and fertilizer. ## Features - High-Performance Machine: Equipped with a powerful 13-amp motor that effectively removes tough thatch, aerates your lawn, and revitalizes grass for healthier, greener growth. - Large Collection Bag: The spacious and removable collection bag makes it simple to collect and dispose of thatch, debris, and dead grass, ensuring a cleaner and neater lawn and yard maintenance experience. - Customizable Depth Control: Tailor the dethatching and scarifying depth to your lawn’s unique needs with the 5-position depth control for precise and efficient results. - Smooth and Effortless Maneuverability: Designed with four durable, easy-glide wheels, this dethatcher offers effortless navigation across your lawn, reducing fatigue and improving overall user comfort. - 2-in-1 Lawn Care Solution: The versatile Sun Joe dethatcher and scarifier combines two essential lawn maintenance tools in one, helping you revive and rejuvenate your lawn with ease for year-round beauty. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08WJQPHRG | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,268 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #3 in Walk-Behind Lawn Mowers | | Brand | Sun Joe | | Brand Name | Sun Joe | | Color | GREEN | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 19,066 Reviews | | Cutting width | 38.1 centimeters | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 24.4"D x 19.3"W x 12.2"H | | Item Highlight | and Collection Bag - 13-Amp Corded Yard Power Rake Tool Machine for Grass Thatch Removal, Electric Powered | | Item Type Name | 15-Inch 13-Amp Electric Dethatcher and Scarifier w/Removeable 13.2-Gal Collection Bag, 5-Position Height Adjustment, Airboost Technology Increases Lawn Health | | Item Weight | 27.1 pounds | | Manufacturer | Snow Joe | | Manufacturer Part Number | AJ805E | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Maximum Adjustable Cutting Height | 12.2 centimeters | | Minimum Adjustable Cutting Height | 2.5 centimeters | | Model Number | AJ805E | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Positions | 5 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Style | 13-Amp | | Style Name | 13-Amp | | UPC | 842470123731 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sun Joe - **Color:** GREEN - **Cutting Width:** 38.1 centimeters - **Item Weight:** 27.1 pounds - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Operation Mode:** Manual - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Product Dimensions:** 24.4"D x 19.3"W x 12.2"H - **Style:** 13-Amp ## Images ![Sun Joe 15-Inch Lawn Dethatcher with Scarifier Blade Reel, AJ805E - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7113HP5KLKL.jpg) ![Sun Joe 15-Inch Lawn Dethatcher with Scarifier Blade Reel, AJ805E - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91qYRI3o5rL.jpg) ![Sun Joe 15-Inch Lawn Dethatcher with Scarifier Blade Reel, AJ805E - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-Gd5-zF3L.jpg) ![Sun Joe 15-Inch Lawn Dethatcher with Scarifier Blade Reel, AJ805E - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811dIdA8e-L.jpg) ![Sun Joe 15-Inch Lawn Dethatcher with Scarifier Blade Reel, AJ805E - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Z7SPTDIUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Set** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What length extension cord is recommended?** A: The goal is to use the minimum length extension cord required to do the job. You will need a 12 gauge extension cord for up to 100 feet. I do not recommend getting a single 100' extension cord, but rather (2) 50' extension cords. One, until you get past 50 feet, it is much easier to manage a shorter cable, and two, when you are putting the extension cords away or pulling the out to use for the next time, it is so much easier to bundle and untangle a 50' cord than a 100' cord, and if you use the extension cords for other items, you'll likely need a single 50' cord more often than 100', so it is easier all around. Using a cord that is a lighted duty cord is going to damage or kill this Sun Joe machine. Most breakers in an electrical panel that drive the outlets in your home are 15 amp. These Sun Joe devices pull either 12 or 13 amps, so that is already close to maxing out that circuit breaker. I have a degree in electronics and the longer the wire, the more resistance there is to push electricity/amperage through it, so if you use less than a 12 gauge cord, you'll burn up the motor in the Sun Joe. **Q: Does anyone use this for picking very small leaves from lawn?** A: This machine works great for hatching your lawn. I don't use the bag because it fills up so fast. I go over the lawn with it then go over it again with the mower to pick up all of the stuff it pulls up. I have had multiple neighbors use it and it is by far worth to money. **Q: So, what does a scarifier do? Is that the aeration function?** A: The scarifier blade seems to remove the thatch and it cuts a little groove in the dirt. It seems to aerate some but nothing like one of those plug aerators. Once I got the handle mounted (the included screws strip easily) I used this on a section of my lawn that was very thinned out, had a lot of thatch, and had hard packed soil. I was impressed. I got about 35-40 pounds of thatch from an area about 10x20 feet. It is very effective. (Once you get the handle mounted!) **Q: does the motor cut out on this one like on the AJ800E? lots of complaints about that one. Please let me know thanks.** A: I never experienced that but my lawn is only 40 x 80 ft so I may have not run it long enough for the motor to overheat. Or maybe the others are using it without the bag and cutting deeper. I got about 120ft into my lawn and it was time to stop and empty the bag. I was very pleased with the result (it dug up the dead grass without laying waste to the live grass) and it performed much better than the one I got from the rental company. If I run it one more time, it will have paid for itself. Your results may vary but I am happy with its performance! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the best yard machine you'll ever buy *by E***B on October 18, 2021* So, I purchased this item after my boss told me about it.

Just my two cents) _My yard was getting worse. I had to research how it fix it soon. I had thinning grass. To many worm hills. possible fugus. And other issues. _I came across a you tube video by a guy who calls himself the "the Pest and Lawn Ginja". He was entertaining and packed with tons of knowledge. (As goes with most of his videos) One video had a review on this device and it got me interested to learn more. Looking at the reviews here, it seemed somewhat of a gamble, as many were saying how this device is not sturdy and breaks. _ Well. I'm here to say. Mine was REALLY put to the test and won with flying colors!!! I had heavy debris and made about 6 passes in the front yard and about 4 passes in the back. I have about 1500 square feet in front and about the same for the back yard. So the use was equivalent to about a single pass on a 1/3 acre of land!! My hopes were- if this unit just held together to the end of this project, it would have served it's main purpose. But I can happily say that this has worked far more than that! _I had to get this project done with less work involved so that I could continue with my lawn renovations/repairs. My purpose was to aerate and pick up the dead debris that was choking out the grass and creating a fungal issue. I decided to bag my debris instead of putting in my compost area. If there was any fugus that was damaging to my lawn, and I used this compost again for a later lawn fix, I would just reintroduce this fungus into my lawn. There ended up with much more debris that I had thought. It did a REALLY GOOD JOB!!! _As the aforementioned video states it's a good light duty unit that's far cheaper than a commercial unit but an extra pass does the job. I thought that if it's light weight enough, this is a good compromise from buying or renting a professional unit. I was hoping that this unit will pay for itself in the first use. Any time I needed it after that, it would have been a good investment. I am happy to say that it has been a good investment so far. I like this unit and how affective it is. I might use this every year to keep things well groomed. _The solid tines that come with this unit could be useful but I wasn't interested in scalping my existing grass. I did reseed, but I used tons of new topsoil so I didn't need to use it. Plus, my thatch wasn't to bad and I didn't need to aerate the old soil before I put the top soil down. But if the thatch does get a little to thick in the future, I'll look forward to using this Sun Joe for my next reseeding. I will update this review if I do. _Also Note: Core aeration is something I do yearly. But not this fall. Aeration is very popular for this claylike Colorado soil. I serves a real purpose here. But the holes are often to deep to use this practice for over seeding. So the solid tine attachment will be more useful for proper soil contact and germination in my future. And aeration will be left for the seasons I don't seed. _Also Note: Some people out there have been misusing the term dethatching. Thatch is the dead root system and other dead debris that is IN THE SOIL not ON THE SOIL. This layer is has some soil nutrients, but to much of it can cause the rest of the healthy and living root system to suffocate (among other reasons). The spring tines are to pick up the debris. Which is the dead grass and stuff on the surface of the soil. That was what I had. I also have WAY TO MUCH worm activity and it was destroying my grass and surface. It was hard to walk on. The tines helped knock down these hills to provide me with a more flat surface. _Work day one: Easy enough to assemble. I like the light weight so that I can lift and maneuver with less effort. This was especially important because I had a solid TWO FULL days of other heavy work to accomplish this task, and I didn't want to put more effort into this than I had to. HOLY COW!! I knew I had a lot of debris, but this was a lot more than I was expecting. First off. Others who had problems with their unit. I saw what they were trying to mow threw grass that was way too tall. THAT'S RIDICULOUS GUYS!!! Use your tool wisely! _So plan ahead_ Mow your lawn 30 percent lower, then wait a few days. Then continue until you get the last mow down just above the crown so you can start with this task. If the lawn is to tall, I wouldn't be surprised that you end up over taxing this device. _The other reason for device breakage: Improper setup. Watch a video on how to use this correctly. Be aware the correct way to install the tines. And don't go to deep. Start high and be aware of your various yard surface heights and adjust accordingly so that you are not going to deep into the surface. _overall observations_ Flimsy: but use with care and this is not much a problem Light weight: can be thought as cheap. But simple is best here. It's much easier with less effort to get the job done. and is more affordable this way. A product that is not under designed, just not over designed. Yes there are better units for heavier use (like commercial). But this is not my use. Easy installation: Be aware how to correctly install the tines. Corded hassle: Yes. I hate cords with a vengeance. But it still is the lesser of evils compared to a heavier, more expensive unit. Durability: well. It might be if used correctly. Time will tell. But I've used mine about 11 times so far... I believe it's paid for itself. So that's a WIN for me. :) Handle/operation: As said before. light flimsy. And the power ON feature needs your attention to correctly activate with side button (as a safety measure obviously) but still a little clumsy. _overall_ great value. I'll try to post some before and after pictures. I power raked with this Sun Joe on September 18th on a hot summer day. And my after pictures are in chilly November 19th!!! One word.
