The product works as described. But that simply is not good enough. I am so sick of poor designs and this machine is loaded with them. The cord manager hangs under the start trigger. The cord gets stuck under the trigger preventing it from working. The height adjustment is horrible and I can't get it to stay in the only space I want to use. This machine should be cordless. I paid $100 for the proper extension cord but would rather pay an extra $150 for a tool that was cordless. The machine is clumsy and has to be lifted into place. There is no way to easily lift this machine. A center bar would fix this issue. The motor should also propel the machine for a consistent application. I have bare spots where I slowed down.

It sure is compact. When it comes missing the handle, it’s only a foot tall. I expected a refurbished machine to be completely gone through and inspected to ensure that it is fully functional. When they can miss that there are 4 handle pieces that aren’t included in the box, how confident can you be that they didn’t overlook any of the little pieces? When I reached out to Sun Joe, they wanted me to register it and then file a claim to get the handle. I had no confidence that it would be that easy and that I wouldn’t be spending a whole lot of time trying to diagnose other problems and filing more claims due to their shoddy refurbishing inspection. Needless to say, I sent it back.

This Sun Joe Electric lawn Dethatcher is much better then I thought it would be. I first used it today on a lawn I want to replace. It worked flawlessly. With a lot of little stones in the ground I thought the blades would be bent. They were not. I do highly recement this unit.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with the Sun Joe Dethatcher but it proved to be easy to use and a fun tool. I say fun compared to the very cumbersome and heavy type tillers I have used in the past. One pass across the lawn was more than adequate and I was ready to plant the rye seed. This is a great little machine that I think will do the job and last a long time. Mike Morales

Unit #1. Yes, it's plastic! But a heavy grade plastic. It's lightweight. It arrived quick & was easy to assemble.Well, two washers were left over-but found the way home to the screws securing the handle. Pluged in and hit the start lever (nearly a two handed job with the safe start button) Oh, Oh, DOA. Zilch. Nada! Called the 888 # and worked with a nice man as we changed cords, redid proceedures, and verified power available. Still DOA! So, a few days passed and the new unit arrived, The repacked old DOA unit was picked up later. Unit #2 assembled with ease. A 10mm wrench is needed to change the in-place.scarifier head for the de-thatcher...a very simple proceedure. A phillips screwdriver secures the screws for the handle. EasyPeasy! Unit #2 then went to work. I de-thatched 7000 sq.ft. in a few lazy hours. The catcher bag does a fair job but needs to be dumped often. I preferred going bagless, following with the bagger/mower. Im HAPPY!Read full review
