Description

Remember when your lawn was the talk of the neighborhood? Treat your yard right with the WEN 2-in-1 Electric Dethatcher and Scarifier. This versatile machine both aerates your lawn while also removing thatch, debris, dead grass, and other unwanted organic matter. If left untended, this organic buildup prevents your lawn from getting the full amount of nutrients, air, and water that it needs to thrive. Our powerful 15-amp motor rotates up to 3300 times per minute, clearing a path up to 16 inches wide with each pass. The unwanted thatch is then collected into the included detachable collection bag. Choose between the 20-blade scarifying head and the 24 steel-tine dethatching head depending on the task at hand. The 5-position height adjustment features five depth settings: +1/4", -1/8", -1/4", -3/8", -1/2". Overload protection automatically stops the motor during contact with hard rocks, concrete, and other immovable objects, preventing damage to the scarifier and the blades. And because it’s a WEN product, your 2-in-1 Electric Dethatcher comes backed by a two-year warranty, a helpful customer service line, and a stocked inventory of replacement parts, all to make sure you remember WEN.

  • Small but mighty!
Size: Corded 16-Inch Dethatcher
Surprised by this machine. It's lightweight, easy to assemble and operate, durable, and a good value for the money. The scarifying blade and dethatching blade (this one is already on the machine when it arrives) are easy to switch out, and the included instruction manual is simple to understand and walks you through all maintenance. Make sure you use a sturdy outdoor extension cord! This machine is corded, not battery powered. We have a medium sized lot, I was able to do the front, back, and side yards in two sessions for a total of about 1.75 hours of time. I emptied the bag about five to six times, although some people like to leave the bag off and just rake the clippings or ensure they are mulched and let nature do it's thing. Highly recommend if you're looking to save money on aeration services from a company, this machine is fairly minimal work with good results. And you get to keep the machine!! I love my fancy high powered rake :p ... show more

  • Wow! Awsome dethatcher.
Size: Corded 16-Inch Dethatcher
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. ... show more

  • Works amazing, great value
Size: Corded 16-Inch Dethatcher
The unit came as expected and was easy to assembled. Everything worked well to thatch Bermuda grass at the first use. However, it was only used on the highest level setting. It is mostly made of plastic parts. The motor is powerful, however it is very lightweight and does not appear to be intended for heavy duty use. I gave it four stars because it feels a little fragile for long term use. The second use was amazing. I recommend the 16” WEN. ... show more

  • Amazing
Size: Corded 16-Inch Dethatcher
I purchased this last summer (2024) because I was so fed up with raking by hand and boy is this worth every penny. It does what it's supposed to do and it does it well. I had it out for about 30 minutes for the front yard and before the day was over, both sides of my neighbors had reached out to me asking to borrow it. It's such a game changer to dethatch now - effortless and quick, even with a 100ft extension cord! I used the bag initially but took the suggestion of others and ditched it. The machine spits out a chunk of loose/dead grass and once I'm done passing through with it, I switch over to my lawn mower just to collect the loose/dead grass. Works like a charm! ... show more

  • Great Machine
Size: Corded 15-Inch Dethatcher
Worked great! Easy to assemble. Easy to change blades. Just get ready for a lot of raking. This thing kicks up so much dead grass it's amazing. By the way, the raking is much easier than if you were just to go out and take your lawn. When you rake after using the machine all the dead grass is just laying there on top of your lawn, you're not pulling it from the ground nor is it intertwined with the grass. I'm looking forward to a much improved lawn this year and this machine will be the reason. ... show more
