- Sunjoe Dethatcher and scarified | Do electric dethatchers really work? Do electric detacher’s really work? Could they be as powerful as gas dethatchers?
In this video I take the sunjoe dethather to my very thick lawn, did it work? The electric SunJoe has to have to have an extension cord to be able to run. It it is not battery or gas powered. it comes with two modes a detaching mode and a scarifying mode.
I will be answering these common questions:
How do you use a sunjoe detacher
How often should you Dethatch
How do you revive your lawn after you dethatch it
Is removing dead grass from the lawn good
Do you need to remove dead before over seeding
Should you dethach before overseeding
Should I cut my lawn before I dethach
Can you dethach a wet lawn
Do you need to dethatch a lawn
Here is the link to the SunJoe electric Scarifier and Dethatcher:

I wish they made a battery powered option!
As a matter a fact they do: amzn.to/3gett8a
Here is how it performs: ua-cam.com/video/6q-u2agnfLI/v-deo.html
Not they don't there all sold out
@@TheGreenerLawn no there all sold out
As of a month ago, they did. And in two months they will start rolling back in stock.
@@TheGreenerLawn It's gonna be 2 months before if an buy one?
Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.
💯
It's a glorious piece of plastic. feels cheap and performs like a beast
I borrowed my neighbors sunjoe dethatcher and it was fantastic going to buy one asap
@@edwardcosenza3219 smart move👌🏻
It really does an amazing job soooo ez to operate. Love it!!!
@@vincentstivali1561 Totally agree!
Just got mine today , with this video i am ready to rock n roll tomorrow. Thanks For awesome video man !!! It has all information that you need and also self Q/A has all the answers that i need
Heck yea, game on Tony! If you need set up help, I have a video for that:

Glad I could assist ya!
Bought one figure I’d give it a try you know your getting old when your exited about buying yard tools lol
It’s addicting, honestly. These things are like watching the lawns version of dr pimple popper, cause you never know what your going to pull up! 😂
Lol I'm 51 my wife calls me "The Lawn Nazi" got me a Bumper sticker with LCN on it lawn care nut lol I'm grabbing a sun Joe this summer .
@@brentyoung2310 lol 😂
Might have to wait till aug for them to be back in stock, but tell her it’s a good hobby for us nuts! (Ps on the low, I got stickers too 😜)
Easy, I'm only 35....
Just bought the green works dethatcher....
Redid my yard today....
labor day weekend and I would usually be going somewhere. now I am playing with my new dethatcher toy and watching videos now to compare notes.
Wow, what an amazing machine! Thank you for the review of it! I’m going to have to pick one of these up! Love your channel!
They are worth it for sure! You should get one! Thank you for the support and love! Much appreciated!
I really have to try this sunjoe. I have never dethatched my lawn before. Great video! Looks like it worked really well.
You should! If your thatch and dead grass warrant it, you should use it! if your lucky enough to have solid organisms and temps that don’t give u issues, there is no need.
I love my Sun Joe! I've had it for 4 years and use it at both our pretty large properties. It's like a toy but it's a total workhorse. Lawns look fabulous after dethatching, seeding and then aerating and overseeding in the fall. Very easy!
So true.
Thanks for posting this. I am starting to get into taking care of my lawn now and this little machine looks like exactly what I need.
It will def help!
I can't tell if I'm more impressed by the Sun Joe or the incredible Mountain View in the back. Great video. Subscribing now!
I would say they are equally impressive! Lol thanks for the sub! I love the interaction and feedback, so feel free!!
I was super excited to have received my Sun Joe Dethatcher today via Amazon. I felt like a happy child on Christmas day. I look forward to test it out.
They are a blast. When I talk to folks I compare it to watching dr pimple popper, as the thatch just keeps coming and coming out, of what seems like, nowhere. Love to hear your thoughts when you use it!
I bought one last fall. Absolutely worth every penny. Awesome little machine. Yard is looking good Jeremy 👊
+Pacific Northwest Lawns thank you sir! You aren’t lieing, it’s super solid! How many times you used it?
The Greener Lawn I’ve used it once on my lawn and 3 neighbors lawns.
The Q&A was great. Thanks for sharing.
+Tony Bowers i figured I’d look on google and find the hottest questions about it and answer them! Glad you enjoyed it Tony!
Another great video! Just used mine for the for the first time last week and it was a beast!
Heck yea, light weight, flimsy feeling... but performs like an absolute beast for sure!
I had my sun joe for two years already and I can see it was definitely worth the investment, especially since I got it for $80 on sale.
Ahh heck ya! Solid stuff for sure! Can’t beat that sale deal!
Thank you Sir you showed and answered my questions. Great Vid keep up the good work!
Ossie Rod Glad I could of of service! Feel free to ask any others u come up with!
I received mine yesterday and gave it a go today and I was blown away at how much thatch it pulled up. It also levelled out my lawn nicely too! 👍 Very impressed.
Glorious pics of plastic isn’t it?!? For the cost and what it does it punches above its weight 💯
@@TheGreenerLawn That's for sure... totally exceeded any preconceived notions I had about it.
Recently bought the SJ dethatcher. Wow, affordable,easy to use and it really works. I am being asked from my neighbors to work on their lawns.. it is actually fun to work with !,,,
Addicting isn’t it! Lol, I always tell people it’s like watching a lawn version of dr pimple popper.
Excellent video! I just bought one of these and this video was all I needed in terms of instructions
Leon, glad I could help!
I know set up is easy, but here was my vid on that:
ua-cam.com/video/pq02MrlkcB8/v-deo.html
Let me know if I can answer any other questions.
@@TheGreenerLawn Thanks! watching it now
I used the new version of this on my acre+ lot, took a couple days but it did not disappoint. NEVER again by hand!
It is a beast for sure!
Thanks Jeremy. Just bought one !
After this video and then Ginja’s how could I NOT 😀
Lol u will love the little flimsy thing.
I love my Sun Joe! I am 58 years old and love little tiny tools! I just hang it on the wall of my garage when I'm done. Best $120.00 I have spent this garden year!
Carole that’s great to hear! It’s so light an maneuverable, that almost any one can handle it and work it as intended. Very solid investment you made for sure!
I will be getting me a SunJoe ,I have watch many reviews, and yours is the last one I need my mind is made up thanks sunjoe here I come.
Heck yea Anthony! Glad I could help ya! Thing is a beast! Let me know if I can help ya out with anything!
@@TheGreenerLawn no love for the transition zones? When do we dethatch
@@roba168 hey Rob, so the dethatching is not done on zones, it’s done by grass type, cool season or warm season grass. So if you have rye, Kentucky blue, fescue, you have a cool season lawn and you Dethatch in spring. If you have Bermuda, st Augustine, centipede, zoysia, or Bahia are warm season lawns and should be Dethatcher late spring early summer as it begins to actively grow.
There are varying thoughts on dethatch some of these grass types, feel free to ask about your specific one.
JeremyofTheGreenerLawn@gmail.com
I agree, great tool. I used the scarifier on my bermuda lawn this summer. It worked great.
Saweet! Did it have any problems going through that Bermuda of yours? Your lawn is pretty thick!
@@TheGreenerLawn no early spring so the bermuda isn't super thick yet.
ahh, got ya! understood.
Great review! Your grass looks so good. The view in your neighborhood is beautiful! 🏔🏔
Thanks William, this really helped it to breathe! It is a spectacular view over towards the mountains! 💯 thank you
This is an awesome product. I am wore out raking up and carrying away my thatch. Cant recommend it strong enough. Thanks for the vid.
Lots of work, but as you know, your lawn will love it! thanks sir for the feedback!
The Sunjoe dethatcher is now on my wish list. It definitely would beat hand racking the lawn which is my current method to dethatch the lawn. It such a chore. 😂🤣🤦♀️. Thank you for sharing your video and info!🤗
OJ Hoang that raking is a pain, a chore, a no go! When you pull the trigger you will be addicted to the machine for sure! lol glad I could help get ya info!
I've strongly considered manual (hand) dethatching the outlier areas of the lawn before and after using the machine dethatching.
Awesome Video per usual ;) I need to do that!!! Unreal how much thatch comes up, Now your lawn can Breathe, Happy Grass
Thank you, per usual 🙃! It’s well worth it if you have a thatch later! This would be perfect o your lawn!
@@TheGreenerLawn I need to get on that m probably fall now, since I put those sod pieces down
Prtygrl44 true!
Great video, appreciate the detailed information. I love being in the yard during the spring months, and keeping the grass green is a priority. I just saw this little machine today and definitely purchasing one of these for the spring :)
Glad I can be of assistance. I think you will love this machine, it can be addicting.
Spring time is the best for sure, and green grass is a MUST!
If you have any questions, or input please feel free to share.
I have another question but the photo needed to go with my question, I don't know how to upload :) So, I'll have to send a personal email.
@@rondab6390 JeremyofTheGreenerLawn@gmail.com
Thank you... I just sent the email and a photo. I hope it sent.
@@rondab6390 yup, saw it right after I sent that lol. I’ve responded, feel free to keep the q’s coming.
Nice video Jeremy! You can’t go wrong with a SunJoe 😊
+niceAZlawn ohh how true! Thank you sir!
Just got mine today, took it out of the box, did the minor assembly and got my yard done all within 30 min. Picked out way more thatch than I thought I had.
CRAZY RIGHT?!? Friggin’ like dr pimple popper with how much there is in there when you think it’s a tiny amount!
This saved me hours of raking. The cord gets in the way. But a must have for the lawn.
It’s a real help for sure!
Just bought one and today is the day I use it can’t wait.
Ohhh ohhhh ohh let me know how it goes! 👀
First pass is done and pulled out 3 - 55 gallon bags of dead grass on the 10 setting. My house was built in 93’ so I doubt this has ever been done.
What I will say is this more than paid for itself for the $116.00 I invested. Going to germinate my grass seed then scarify and lay it down next week.
Will be great when we start seeing some battery powered options surface as well.
zeroibis 💯
Great video, thank you for helping to understand this!
200% glad to help!
I could not believe the dead grass that came out of my St. Augustine. Since I had an area to dump it, after dethatching a front yard 100 x 40, I had 5 large piles of dead grass at least 6' wide and almost 4' high. Well worth the money.
😳RIGHT?!? That’s Nutz! Good stuff tho! How did it perform when it could breathe?
Just bought one. Can’t wait
wrathcc ahh heck ya!! Get it!!
Just bought one. Can't wait to use it...
Addicting! When using it in the heat….. water water water to rebound it!
Thanks for sharing this video. This is helpful.
Glad I could help! Let me know if you have quesions
Just bought my sunjoe, I'm about to try it today..
Let’s goooo! Let me know how you like it, also, since it’s hot outside, use extra water to help it
I just finished using this thing twice on my lawn. Amazing how much this pulls up. I quickly figured out that holding the back flap open maybe a third of the way with some bungee cords made the clumping problems vanish. Makes is much easier to push along.
Jamie, thanks for the comment. It really is a beast isn’t it. Crazy how a cheap flimsy piece of plastic can do soo much!
Don’t take this as a slam (as it’s not), I just don’t see it as an issue at all. This whole video was shot on -10 setting (max lowest), 2 settings below the recommended 0 setting, and it was my wife pushing the machine. As you can see, outside recommended settings and a lady using it, super thick lawn. it didn’t have any issues. I think people really over think this aspect and make it a bigger issue then it really is.
As the tines grab and pull, this machine actually semi pulls it’s self along(but this could be because I’m have it slammed soooo low out side of recommended settings lol).
But with that said, your on to something there, just be cautious of debris, it can get ahold of it and shoot it at your legs if it’s open like that. I know people who have sent rocks through then bag. 😳
@@TheGreenerLawn Good point about not opening up the flap too much. Debris can definitely fly out the back of that sucker. And fast! Good idea to do this with long pants on perhaps.
I also had it on the lowest setting. This may have been a mistake for the first time use since my lawn had never been dethatched before. So I may have been pulling up too much material in one pass. I think that made the machine a bit harder to push with the flap down and trapping so much material inside the unit. After the first cleanup, I did a second pass. With that pass, I raised the unit one notch and held the flap open a bit with the bungee cords. The discharge was much more even than the first pass. Not nearly as many clumps since the material wasn't getting trapped inside the machine then dumped out all at once.
One thing to consider with running the unit with the flap partially open is that the motor will probably be working with less stress. With less material inside the unit flying around the tines, the motor can work easier. I can see this extending the life of the product as well as keeping the unit and your extension cord running cooler.
@@JamieWardHD 💯 spot on! I see the motor
Heat being a prob for sure and in that case; releasing effort /debris is a spot on move! 💯🔥
They come with a catcher in the newer models
Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. Liked and subscribed.
Anytime, feel free to reach out with any questions! JeremyofTheGreenerLawn@gmail.com
Just bought one can’t wait to try it out
Marsha, your about to fall in love! Lol it’s addicting!
Just bought one and as a landscaper I was skeptical but this video helped but that worry aside. We'll see how it holds up over multiple use
I have lent mine out several times over 2 years and no issues, they come with a 2 year warranty as well. Not pro level but def beast mode!
Love my Sun Joe..Thanks Jeremy!
Deborah Randall no probs Debra! Any time! Solid little machines!
Great review Jeremy, thanks! 👍👊
+jef chaplin thanks Jef! How have ya been? How’s your lawn?
The Greener Lawn been well, thanks for asking. 😎
The lawn is always a work in progress. 😳
Thanks for the three tips I will use when dethatching, scarifying and oversending this fall. 👍
Thanks again for your effort on these videos, keep up the great work. 👊
good to hear Jef! Lawns are funny animals, most people can’t grow a single house plant but we try to tackle millions in our yard...... 😳
Always love sharing tips and tricks.... makes our yard work a touch easier! gl with the fall dethatch!
Always appreciate the confidence boosters! thank you!
Excellent review, a friend just lent me hers, and like a responsible human being, I wanted to make damn sure that I did it the right way. Great explanation, great delivery by yourself, and great little extra tips. Thanks for making this!
Thank you for the feedback, and the quest for knowledge!
Great explanation really well done video.
Hey! Know you! Your who I learn all my slick editing tricks from! (Had to sneak a plug in there for ya!) glad to see you stop by, checking up on my editing? 😉
Great review subscribed!
Thanks! Glad to have ya!
I've had the SunJoe a few years now. I would suggest finding a way to slightly open the back cover so that the unit is not dragging the thatch. I use a bungee cord, but plan to put in something more permanent, such as a 1/4” all- thread.
smart!!
Holy cow just got mine. Wow awesome machine
Right?!? Glad you got one!! Thanks for the feedback!
Awesome simple video!
Thank you, much appreciated!
Gosh great place to live, magnificent scenery in the back ground.
Utah, my friend! 👌🏻 Thanks Sandy!
Yes i see why your lawn is the way it is. really really thick and dry, its all the sun your have there. We never have this, but the best ever lawns in April and on wards. From Leicester England.
@@sandysanderson8588 yea, we are a desert. So we get little water any time. But the mountains make a nice reprieve! Is England wet?
@@TheGreenerLawn England is very wet at the moment, I've just bought a new Allett mower Kensington 14b. but the lawn is just so so wet. Its a bit grime so say the least. but in a few months time were sorted.
Great info. Thanks, Jeremy!
Thx graham!
Just rec'd mine Sunday will try Saturday. I have a smaller lawn then yours. Wish me luck.
Your going to love it... I can give you that heads up! No luck needed, as it’s actually addicting!
Good review. Thank you.
Thank you, working on another one of these videos right now lol
I ordered one of these through Amazon three months ago. Mine won’t be in until September so don’t order through Amazon. Looking forward to having one of these machines. My man Lawn Ginja highly recommend .
John Herman Lol who’s this guy you speak of? Is he a rep for this company? Is he the owner? Could he maybe be found here?!? --> instagram.com/p/B9LB8eIJyeP/?igshid=pyqapolnzp8t
Amazons getting slightly better.. but ur correct.
Everywhere is out or super slow right now with the Dethatcher
Weird i ordered mine and got it within a week almost a month ago
Love the blue siding color w/ the rock accent!
💚💚💚thx!
5:11 Nice. Great advice. Thank you!
Such a time saver! I don’t like wasted time, when things can be done quicker with minimal
Impact! Thanks for your feedback!
That mountain view is ridiculous!!! Oh and good job dethatching
Thank you, Utah has a beautiful back drop 100%. Where are you from?
I love mine! Only issue I had is that after three lawns last season the gear wore down. So, I have to find the part in the machine and SunJoe will replace it.
Dadding All Day ohh wow, but it sounds like they will handle it? That’s admirable! Really seems like a solid machine for sure! I had worried that it would be flimsy, and not be able to do a thicker, long lawn. It proved me wrong! Thanks for the comment!
The Greener Lawn Oh yeah. Great company! The warranty on that thing is fantastic!
I got the greenworks one and it’s awesome.
Solid stuff! I’ve never used that one, but I hear good things.
Shame I can't get my hands on one of these in Australia 😞. You guys have access to so much more than us Aussie lawn lovers.
Our Aussie fam needs love too! Makes me sad you guys don’t get some fun toys... but then again you guys have kangaroos.... and we don’t 😂
The Greener Lawn Hilarious and True, 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
Kangaroos are just hoppy deer you can't shoot without being a farmer. Much rather have deer here 😁
Excellent video
Thank you Qichen, I appreciate the feedback.
Cold me insane but I was not only impressed with Sun Joe but that clove hitch knot you used to hook up your extension cord :-)
lol.... I’m impressed that I pulled off a knot 🪢 that had a name! You have made my day lol! Thanks! Ohh I mean, I know what I was doing knot wise the whole time ..... 😝
I get better results with mine after I cutted1 1/2" off the front lip so that it does not dig in the ground all the time, block the rear door partially open( to let the dead grass out easier) and use not the racking tool but the scarificator.
The scarificator blades add the advantage of creating "groves" in the soil for the fertilizer or seeds to lodge in.
I use mine once in the spring ( I just did it yesterday) and once in the fall.
Do it twice at 90 degrees from each other.
I use my lawn mover to pick up the dead grass.
Solid use of the Scarifier, not its “intended”, but adaptations of tools is key!
I’ve seen and been recommended the open the back hatch up a lot, but I didn’t see any issue with it. Do I agree it would help? Yea, but I’ve never experienced an issue with it yet.
I've used mine several times and its already paid for itself.
They really do, if you figure a good dethatching costs around $10-20 a 1000 sqft... it adds up quick 💰💵💰
SUN JOE! GREAT Machine for the money!!
+James Phillips III 💯 % thing does work, that’s for sure!!
BTW Love your conifers!!!
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Professional here, use some wire or rope to lift the lid in the back a little so the grass don't stuck. Smoothes the process, but don't lift it too high becouse of stones and other things that can be shooted from blades.
So you have a great idea (and people should prob do it 💯 ), but to be honest, it never really clogged up, it kicked it out really easily, crazy enough. I’m supprised thinking about it after the fact.
The grass seemed to clog so I used a couple of spring clamps to hold the catcher "door" open a couple of inches to allow the dead grass to come out clog free.
Never experienced it on the 801e, but I use a paint stick on the 805e so I 💚 your engineering
Have one works great.
More impressed with the backdrop.
Lol yea, Utah mountains are Phenomenal
Great video
Thank you means a lot!
Just ordered one!!
HECK yea!!!! GAME ON SOON! It’s addicting 😅
Can we take a minute to appreciate the snow capped mountains in the backdrop

Awesome… thanks. Just ordered a SunJoe… looking forward to using it!! Can you comment on the scarifier please. How, why, and when should this be used? Thanks kindly. (One day later) - Ok… done… did my lawns and wow!! … got three huge and compacted garbage bags full of dried and yellow “thatch” with very little green grass in the mix. The SunJoe was awesome… performed extremely well. I was elated. It is now two weeks later and the lawns look fabulous!! Highly recommended 👍

12:24 I explain and show it. Let me know if I can clarify further.
Sun Joe baby, I love mine!
Heck ya! Things a beast! Love it! Well worth it on smaller sections for sure!
Great Vid.. Thanks
Thank you! Do you have one?
I love the brie of the mountain.
makes it a great place to live, very scenic!
I can attest dethatcting once a year can not be the way. The English, dethatch many of times a year. I believe both spring and fall. For us northern cool season folk is almost a must
All lawns are different. It depends on Care, watering, feeding, environmental, etc. Some, you are very correct, they will need a dethatch bump often, and some others never need it.
My lawn struggled from last year having the wettest spring on record for Utah. It drew all my roots up, causing a lot of drying out issues, causing more dead grass then normal for my lawn. So, that is 1/2 the reason I Dethatcher. The other reason was for a lawn leveling I really need, I didn’t want thatch under a bunch of sand.
Man's favorite machine.... this is better than lawn mower.
SOOOOOO enjoyable, its addicting like watching one of those pimple popper shows.... lol
Nuff said. Gonna order one
Boom! 🔥
?? How soon after dethatching should I set new seed in to the lawn? New to lawn care. Thanks Matt for suggesting the "The Greener Lawn". great video by the way!..
Right away, as you opened up the soil, and your seed needs seed to soil contact. With that said best time to seed is fall beginning in September. Second best is spring time.
You can during the summer, just takes more water and time.
Late to the party. But, I watched the video and was a good one bro!😎👊🍺🍺🍺
Thank you brother! You are never late, just fashionably early for the next one! 😁
The Greener Lawn Bingo!😎👊
Excellent video and beautiful lawn! I was just wondering though. I just purchased this Sun Joe and the instruction recommends not raking at -5 or-10, but I see you used -10. I apologize if this came up in the comments as I didn't read them all.
Lol this one was my neighbors machine (I was told how to use it.. not correctly), I got my self one and I rectified the statement in this video:
SunJoe Dethatcher Scarifier Unboxing | Assembly | Q&A ua-cam.com/video/pq02MrlkcB8/v-deo.html
You are correct!
@@TheGreenerLawn Thanks for commenting. The machine didn't seem to struggle, so I just was wondering what you thought.
@@KM-bs1zu personally I didn’t feel or see any struggle, I personally tell every one to use it as it says in the manual ( I still use it on -10... lol) I like that setting, even tho it’s wrong 😂
Well would you look at that , just look at it !! I'm buying me one , whether I need it or not
You didn’t know how much you WANTED IT... before this video.... now... you need it to satisfy the urge to pull out dead grass... 😜
Ordered mine this week. It will be here tomorrow..
+Andrew Lee AHHH HECK YA!!! Now it’s game on for you, for sure!!
@@TheGreenerLawn just hope im early enough in the season. Cool season zone 5b. We've had a rough spring so far. Not alot of sunny days a bunch of rain and cooler than usual temps. So i think lll be fine
+Andrew Lee sounds like it I like to use dethatchers below 75, during periods it
Will Not get Above 80 For like 1.5-2 weeks of recovery. You should be fine if you meet those requirements. The removal of thatch in that situation will help with possible fungal issues.
Where you order yours from?
I just bought the green works one hope it works it will be here soon!!
Vinny Pinatelli I’ve heard decent things about it! 👌🏻
I’ve had mine for a couple of years and am very satisfied. If you go slow it gets up more thatch. Next year I’m going to once a month during the season.
I didn’t this year and it was more work. Hint: if you let the loosened thatch dry a little you can blow it with a leaf blower and reduce the raking.
johnnybeanz1 heck ya, thanks johnny for the tips!! Much appreciated!!
Thanks really appreciate it I was getting discouraged Cuz I hear bad things about it all the time
Hard Flex on every single person watching right now! Lol just order mine! Thanks
Lol love it! And best flex ever!
couple things
1. those are some nice lawn shoes
2. i would like it fr just the scarifier
3. no mulching tube here lol
1- 🤫 that’s the wife in those shots.... lol
2- Scarifier -solid use for it! Those blades do work! Lol
3- reel?
Nope. No reel. Just a vintage mtd Briggs
+Matthew Schorfheide ohh sweet? I
Take it since it’s vintage, that’s the reason it doesn’t have a mulch plug.
Newbie seeking advice from anyone!! Thx for the video. Your yard is nice to start with. I have a bumpy yard with creeping charlie and bellflower starting to take over in some spots. My plan was to use this, then seed and fertilize with Milogranite. Now I'm wondering if I scrape it through the weeds, will I spread it to the rest of the yard. Thank you.
I’d the weeds are not actively seeding, then no, you could alway use a herbicide first on your lawn let the weeds die back then start your process (draw back here is they herbicides will give you a time frame till you can seed, there is one tho that works!)
But using the Dethatcher and then the Scarifier for the seed to have good seed to soil contact. You will be in the right direction.
Feel free to email me at JeremyofTheGreenerLawn@gmail.com for help.
The SunJoe is great. However, the cord is beyond annoying. I cant wait until they release a battery powered version.
Can’t argue that.... solid con and solution!
My Sunjoe works great!!!!!
Heck yea!
what do you use to delimitate your garden from the lawn? do you use prefabricated concrete ones?
Love mine!
Heck ya!! How long ya had it?
@@TheGreenerLawn This is my first lawn season with it. Fun and effective! Used to rake up lawn sections at a time (for days), and now, whole lawn in an afternoon!
mn_lawn_therapy_ now that’s an effective machine... lol I would do the same with that dethatch rake at the beginning..... I feel your pain! 😅
Thanx
Glad to help George!
walking that slow with my 3 acres of TTTF would take till the US pays off all its debt. It did sound like a industrial hoover. Think best bet for me would be a billy goat model. Cool vid.....
Lol yea, 6k sqft is about max… maybe 10
great video and information. How do you protect the sprinkler heads when using the Sun Joe dethatcher. Obviously go around them but anything else we need to do?
I flag them, but to be 💯 honest I don’t think it could do much damage, machine is light, and I feel it would just bounce off it (lift up not cause issues).
Cord management was tedious. This was the first use of my de-thatcher. Any suggestion for cord management to keep from tripping/tangling the cord?
First pass is the closest then work your way away from it that way each pass is going away from ur. If you notice it was closest to my flower bed first, that’s the closest to the outlet. Then I worked my way away towards my sidewalk. Way easier... first pass or two could be tricky then the cord will stay out of your way.
I would really like to get one of these. The price is right, for sure. However, I would need at least a 100' extension chord to do my, not that large, lawn. As a 50' cord that is needed would run over $80.00, I can't see spending that much more for a cord than I would for the dethatcher. The cord price is from Walmart.
lol I’m using 100 ft on from Home Depot; , that isn’t horrible.
