LawnMaster GVB1316 Electric 16” 13 Amp Dethatcher and Scarifier with 12 Gallon Collection Bag

I’ve thatched my lawn with a manual thatcher before. You need this. Save your back and time. It has different settings for depth. If you’re looking just for a good spring raking. I’d keep it set high. I used it before seeding my lawn. So I used max setting to really get into the sod. Then seeded and covered the seed with compost. Worked like a charm. My grass was lush and green, in Colorado of all places. I do have a gripe that the catch bad is very small and fills up after about twenty feet. Otherwise it’s a decent power rake for a small lawn.

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

bon produit, il fonctionne, à tester au printepms, reste à savoir dnas 1 an ou deux pour se procurer les pièces de remplacement.

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 works better 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

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 it’s paid for considering what they charge to power rake my yard! Using a cord is a little cumbersome but if you don’t 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 it’s made by black and Decker that’s why the build quality is pretty decent.
