5.0 out of 5 stars It’s amazing!

I normally won’t buy anything online if I can’t find solid reviews on YouTube. But I own a WEN sheet rock sander and it’s been reliable & well worth the money so I rolled the dice on the Scarifyer & couldn’t be happier with the results. Battery life isn’t super long so folks with larger yard will have to plan accordingly but the machine it’s self works fantastic.

Both the scarifyer blade & de-thatcher attachments are build very solid and very easy to swap out. Very please with the purchase. Will be interesting to see how many years I get out of it. * I’d recommend running without the attached bagger. It fills up pretty quick and slows progress. Took bagger off and raked manually. Much better results and batteries lasted WAY longer.

First, buy a good quality 12 gauge extension cord. My yard is pretty big and thankfully I have a 100 foot long 12 gauge extension cord. Do not use a standard outdoor extension cord since most of these are only 14 gauge. Another recommendation is to use a dedicated 20 amp outlet. If you use a 15 amp outlet, make sure that nothing else on that circuit is using electricity. I noticed a difference in the sound of the motor when I was plugged into a 20 amp outlet on its own circuit breaker verses another outlet that is on a 15 amp breaker that is shared by other outlets in the house.

Now for the de-thatching. I used the scarifier blade for my front yard because it hasn't been detached in years. This machine pulled up piles of thatch while also digging a bit into the soil, which later allowed me to more efficiently seed and fertilize. I filled five large contractor bags with thatch. When I cut the grass with the grass catcher on, I barely fill half a contractor bag. As other reviewers mentioned, the catching bag is much too small; it tends to quickly fill up. I pretty much ignored the catcher and let the thatch overflow, then I followed up with a rake. I still had to stop and empty the catcher, but that really wasn't a big deal. If I had rented a de-thatcher, I would have had to rake anyway and go through the hassle of picking it up, using it and returning it. For the price, I figure I only need to use this machine three times and I will have saved money. I switched to the de-thatching attachment for my back yard. It did a decent job without digging down into the soil. I'll probably use the scarifier the next time to pull up more thatch. Another nice thing is NO EXHAUST FUMES!!!! Yes, handling the extension cord was a bit of a hassle, but once you figure out how to swing it out of the way, it's not a big deal. Just be careful you don't run over the extension cord. Aside from destroying the (expensive) cord, you may get a dangerous and bad electric shock.

It's a good machine and did a much better job than the gasoline powered de-thatchers I have rented in the past. It is well worth the investment. It's relatively light weight, folds up and can be stored on a shelf, under a table or some other dry place that is out of the way.

The WEN DT1315 15-Inch 2-in-1 Electric Dethatcher and Scarifier has been a game changer for my lawn care routine. With its 13-amp motor, this tool is a powerhouse that effortlessly tackles even the most stubborn thatch and soil compaction.

Setting it up was straightforward, and I appreciated the sturdy construction and sleek black design. The dual functionality as both a dethatcher and scarifier adds significant value, allowing me to maintain a healthy lawn with one versatile machine.

Performance-wise, the dethatching mode efficiently removes layers of thatch, promoting better air and water circulation to the grassroots. Switching to the scarifying mode, I found it excellent for loosening soil and preparing my lawn for seeding. The 15-inch width covers a good amount of ground quickly, saving time and effort.

The included collection bag is a thoughtful addition, making cleanup a breeze. It effectively collects debris, leaving my lawn neat and tidy after each use. The adjustable depth settings provide flexibility, enabling me to customize the operation based on my lawn’s specific needs.

Overall, the WEN DT1315 2-in-1 Electric Dethatcher and Scarifier is an outstanding tool for anyone serious about lawn care. Its powerful motor, efficient performance, and convenient features make it a must-have for maintaining a lush, healthy lawn. Highly recommended!

My yard is more moss than grass/weeds. At age 77 I wanted to reduce the energy needed to use a bow rake
or other such soil tending tool to break up the moss and soil. This very light weight device amazes me. It can plow the earth as well as scratch it. The assembly is extremely simple and straight forward and the depth of cutting options are excellent and easily controlled. It has decimated the heavy moss coverage. I could not be more pleased (unless it performed the same without the limitations that come with anything with a cord).

My lawn has a lot of debris from trees, I also use a mulching mower which adds to the random bits clogging up the lawn.  I was getting tired of using a hand rake to clear the debris from the lawn multiple times a year.  This WEN lawn dethatcher does a great job of combing out all the thatch, pine cones and other random organic matter.  It also seems to do a good job of clearing large leafed weeds from the lawn too!  The bag fills up quickly and catches most of the thatch.  Once the bag fills to about half full it starts to leave clumps of thatch behind so be prepared to empty the bag a lot.  The clumps of thatch that did not get collected in the bag are way easier to hand rake from the surface of the lawn rather than when I previously had to hand rake the embedded thatch from deep between the grass, so no big deal!  The detatcher arrived with almost no plastic wrapping which was nice, and nothing was damaged during shipping.  The picture of the box shows how the contents were shipped.  The dethatcher is very lightweight and mostly made of plastic so I was a bit wary of how up to the job this would be.  The design team seems to have done a great job and the detatcher works really well.  One pass is enough to quickly dethatch my lawn.
