WEN Electric Tiller and Cultivator

Best Dethatching I have ever had. I have added scarifying to my lawn maintenance thanks to this and I’m amazed how big of a difference it makes. Very powerful and disturbingly lightweight. Bag fills fast with thatch and that’s a good thing. I have been using short durations using 75 feet of 12 Ga cord and it works fine but we have strong voltage supply to start with that compensates reduce effects of cable losses.

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.

Máquina potente y funcional de diseño bonito y moderno. Vi comentarios que la bolsa se llenaba muy rápido y que debería ser más grande pero pienso que es adecuado el tamaño; el problema es que si vas a escarificar antes debes de podar lo más corto posible el césped y con esto se evita que se llene tan rápido la bolsa. No conocía la marca y me gustó además de que el precio es muy competitivo, motivo por el cual voy a ver que otros productos tiene Wen.

Used this for the first time last weekend to de-thatch my lawn, which had never been de-thatched before in over 20 years. Kept the scarifier attachment on (it comes with a dedicated de-thatcher attachment as well) and put it on setting 3 (medium) as a "just in case" to see what this thing could do. At this setting alone, it "tore" up mound after mound of dead grass and organics that had been suffocating my lawn areas. I raked afterwards to pick it all up and then mowed over it again to pick up any extra straggling thatch. Have to echo many others here that the bag is almost useless as it fills up insanely fast. I took it off completely and just raked and mowed up afterwards, as above. All plastic (almost) but it did exactly what it was supposed to and then some, and I will be scarifying/de-thatching twice a year now to help improve my lawn heath. For what I paid for this machine, a lawn company was going to charge me almost exactly the same amount for just ONE de-thatching, so I am already way ahead of the game and will save mucho dollars by just doing it all myself with this great machine. Also, it is super light and can be lifted with one arm and then stored in your shed or garage with ease. Highly recommended.
