It offers five adjustable height settings for precise lawn care, dual interchangeable heads (20-blade scarifier and 24-tine dethatcher) for versatile aeration and thatch removal, and a detachable collection bag for easy debris disposal.

## 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.

Review: Great Machine - Great value for the money and actually works. Used to scar bare spots on the lswn. Used the deepest setting without the bag and it tilled the soil just enough to reseed. Easy to assemble, easy to operate. the handle hieght is adjustable so I could adjust it to my 5'1" and then to my husband's 6'2" height. Kept the wheelbarrow handy to enpty the bag when using the thatch blade. while the bag does not hole that much, emptying it into the wheel barrow made the thatch easy to dispose of without having to rake. Much better than renting the heavy cumbersome aerator from Home Depot and the lawn does not have dirt plugs everywhere. Will spread 4 cu yards of amended topsoil tomorrow, over seed and cover with a thin layer of dirt. We are trying RTF tall fescue in tidewater Virginia.
Review: Excellent Product for Occasional Home Use - This is a really good little unit that does the job it claims to do. I was really pleased with how effective it is at extracting the thatch from my bluegrass lawn. Start with the highest setting to get a feel for how deep you need to go. It’s very lightweight and easy to push. The electric motor is plenty powerful and does the job well Easy to assemble and operate, solid quality, well designed & constructed from WEN. I’m a fan of their products- I also have an WEN electric pressure washer and a WEN inverter generator. I’ve been very pleased with the quality & performance of those two machines, so I was confident in buying the de-thatcher

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What sizes are the wheels? I have a bumpy lawn!**
A: The front is 7 1/2” and the rear is 5 1/2” wheels. This works amazing. I did purchase the extended warranty 3yrs. I’m abusing it at the moment

**Q: Can you provide a link to replacement tines or a replacement tine bar? I want to purchase the unit and the replacement tines together.**
A: I ordered replacement tines from Amazon

**Q: What is the capacity of the collection bag (# of gallons)?**
A: The collection bag is very limited.  because of the design of the cutting edges it never really fills more than halfway.   So it doesn't really matter it will not fill up any how.

**Q: What do u do for replacement times?**
A: I ordered extra ones, the complete rooler

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Much better than I had expected
*by S***D on April 11, 2024*

Wasn't sure how well this would work but after reading the reviews I decided to give it a shot. I was a little concerned about the light weight of the unit and the reviews about the bag filling up too quickly. While the bag does fill up very fast, (after about 20 feet of scarifying) it's because it pulls out so much thatch and undergrowth. Very impressive for the light weight of the machine. Worked like a champ and I was able to do my entire back yard in a couple of hours. Pulled out so much undergrowth that I completely filled two 96 gallon trash containers with thatch. Instead of removing the catch bag and then having to rake the entire lawn, I just emptied the back once I noticed the thatch no longer being picked up. Saved a ton of time on raking. In the end, I only had a few piles of thatch to rake up. I ran the mower over the lawn to help pick up any remaining thatch and then watered the lawn. Seemed to be taking water better. Will post some follow up photos in a few weeks once everything begins to fill in more. The only down side is the size of the catch bag. Not sure if it could be redesigned bigger and still work but that would have made my review a 5-star review. Honestly, that is the only thing I was not impressed with. Overall, this machine is awesome and I will be using again at the end of the season to get ready for winter. Much better than having to find one to rent and going through the hassle of picking up and dropping off in a set time limit. For the price, this unit was only about $50 more than renting a unit locally and now I can use whenever I need to instead of trying to deal with the rental hassle. Definitely recommend this unit.
