For a small-medium sized lawn this is good if you are close to a power outlet. Since it's used maybe once a year, corded is better than battery. The bag is useless. You will need several garbage cans/bags to dispose of all the thatch. Or just use the thatch to cover the overseeded areas. Some rake it up or use a lawn mower.

Is this what I think this does: You're basically slicing or poking holes (based on the attachment) the soil?

Dethatching is removing the raft of stuff that sits in between your grass and dirt. You can do this manually with a dethatching rake but it's very physical. Thatch can build up and keep water from permeating soil if it's too thick. Helps with absorption. People also use it before they overseed a patchy lawn. You mow low, dethatch or scar, then overseed so the seed falls on looser dirt. Lookup dethatching and overseeding on the tubes. overseeding is most successful in fall. People use it in the Spring to wake up their lawn.

Question for those that overseed.

Where do you get your seed? I have an acre that I want to overseed, so I'd like to figure out a decent place to get that much seed.

I have a bermuda lawn and my sun joe is not even 2 yrs old and the motor is getting louder like its about to go out. I use the heavy 12 gauge drop cord, I never run it backwards and never use it on the lowest setting. If it goes out I will never purchase another one. I guess its not meant for bermuda.

EDIT: mine is the older style

A couple 50 lb bags would probably be enough. If your lucky enough to have a seed store near you that would be ideal. But Lowes, True Value, etc all sell big bags. Make sure you do a little homework so you know what type of seed is best for your area.

Last year I bought grass seed from Rural King. IIRC, it was cheaper for a 50lb bag there than for 2x 7lb bags at Lowes or Home Depot.

Not really meant for either one. It might work to bag acorns but probably not that great and may mess up the tines quickly.

This (805 model) is the newer version in the larger size, the one you linked to is older and had some issues.

AJ798E is the new version of the one you linked (12 amp 13") and this one here is the 15" 13 amp newer version. With this sale both new ones are the same price right now.

Got 5 huge oak trees so there are usually some oak leaves/acorns even after mulching them. Guess I can use this after mulching/bagging most of it up. Probably will help the areas without oaks on my property. Thanks
