Really effective and controllable
I rarely comment on purchases but I am very happy with this one. It performs well for the money. In some ways better than a large commercial thatcher. Here are my notes.It’s motor is plenty strong if you are patient. I bought it to thatch some super thick healthy grass and some areas that were patchy and dead from heat and grubs. I used the wire tines, not the metal blades. If you go slow and are patient it does both well. It also really worked well in mossy areas tearing it up and exposing the soil below. Run it as you would a rug shampoo machine. Be slow and patient. Can go back and forward over problem areas as it is nice and light. Just keep the blade spinning and don’t push it so fast or hard it bogs down. It has a good depth adjustment for that.I didn’t expect it but I did around 8,000 SF of lawn in about 90 minutes. Its pretty wide. And if you are patient it worksbetter in the end than a big gas tine thatcher. Think of pacing it like a slow walk with your lawnmower to get a clean cut.It is just 128$ so yes it feels cheap when you assemble but it is light and easy to move and manage. Perfect for a machine I’ll use once a year. BTW the bag does work but is not strictly needed.Finally, after I was done thatching, I ran my mower with the blade low and vacuumed up all the debris. And, if your grass is long, mow it short before using this machine

Don’t let this pass you up, you need this for your lawn.
For years I’ve searched for an affordable Thacher for lawns. This is it! This small detacher packs a big bang for the money. After reading other reviews, on this item, I was anxious to get my detacher. With some assembly to do, i couldn’t wait to power it on. It didn’t disappoint me at all. It was tearing out the dead lawn and leaving the green lawn. Actually, it picked out more dead lawn than i thought i had. Within just a few minutes I had a pile of dead growth the machine pulled out. I’m more than pleased with the performance of this machine, and the price is great, you can’t let this pass you up. Get it!

Good performance poor build
Worked great but the quality is low. The screws for the handle came out while I was using it. Had to replace and make some modifications but works well.

Buy this one. It is no joke.
WOW ! Just wow ! I was skeptical but thought Iâd give it a shot since it costs nearly the same to rent one for a day. The results were UNBELIEVABLE! The electric motor was strong⦠the thatch bristles are sturdy⦠it has adjustable height that operates easily. If youâre too low and straining it, it will shut off and you release the handle and it will restart.. giving you. An opportunity to adjust depth.It is lightweight and âpartiallyâ self propelled. The bristles pull it along fairly well.I bag clippings 95% of the time and dethatch every 2-3 years. This thing pulled up and TARP full out of my 1500sf front lawn.One caveat⦠the collection bag is useless. It is tiny and would fill up in 6ft run.Youâll have to rake or use your bagger to get it up.. my bagger worked very well.Buy THIS ONE

Worked excellent…for about 5 minutes.
Worked great for maybe 5 minutes. Then the electric motor shut off. Started up again, worked for maybe 30 seconds. Kept turning it on, walked maybe 2 steps, motor just kept quitting over and over again. After checking my electrical cords ( rated at 15 amps) and my circuit breakers in the garage – and they were all fine – I thought this could just be a bum unit. I got maybe 1/3 of my lawn dethatched. Disappointing. And I returned to the UPS store that same afternoon. Can’t recommend this one, folks.

Awesome Tool at an Incredibly Inexpensive Cost
I wanted to try this out a few times before writing my review. This is a truly awesome dethatcher. Used in mid spring and a lot of dead grass and mulch was removed. The yard service does not bag the clippings…problem 1. This tool did a great job and the yard looks a lot better. I would highly recommend it to anyone that desires to dethatch their yard. BTW, this tool removes more dead grass, weeds and mulch than the tow behind tine dethatcher for my riding mower at my last property.

Great Investment for a Healthy Lawn
The LawnMaster GVB1316 Electric 16â 13 Amp Dethatcher and Scarifier is very easy to use and makes swapping out the rollers simple depending on the task. Itâs incredibly efficientâthe bag fills up quickly, which I suppose is a good thing since it means itâs really doing its job. After using it, Iâve already noticed a definite improvement in the health of my lawn. A solid purchase for anyone looking to keep their yard in great shape!

Worth every penny in time and labor saved.
Works very well dethatching. Very powerful. Way better than using a thatching rake or even an attachment for a riding mower. You just have to pay close attention to go at a steady pace to dethatch evenly to avoid scalping the lawn. The one con I have is the bag is very small. My yard hadn’t been dethatched in two years and it would fill up after a few feet. I removed the bag and propped up the guard to allow the thatch to fall out the back. I just went over it with the riding mower to pick it up. Remember to get the lower gauge extension cord.

excelente es un equipo para escarificar, tanto eliminar raiz o pasto seco, como quitar hierbas que solo contaminan tu pasto, yo la puse en el nivel mas alto par que me ventile el pasto y abonarlo y en cosa de dos semanas mi pasto con el riego y los nutrientes esta perfecto, sano y muy fuerte

I only used it once so far but it worked great!Ya people complain that the bag is small but I would rather empty the bag a few times more than rake the grass!Plus use it once and itâs paid for considering what they charge to power rake my yard!Using a cord is a little cumbersome but if you donât like the cord then go spend 3 times the cost on a gas one, but you only use it once or twice a year so who cares about the cord.Great little machine and found out itâs made by black and Decker thatâs why the build quality is pretty decent.

So far, not great experience. Just received the item and putting it together. Noticed damage on the handle. Will update with how well it works. But to start out already damaged, not great.UPDATE: back lawn done, worked great. Powerful little thing!

Works great. The catcher bag could be 1000 times bigger! LOL! Be prepared to stop and empty after every pass. Zero issues. Very glad to get this.

Husband was very impressed with the first use of this machine. It removed quite a bit of thatch (he was using it to scarify an area … and then did an even bigger area). Didn’t bother using the catcher as it would have filled up too fast, we just used the tow behind lawn sweeper to pick up the piles left behind !
