I bought one of these a week ago. Can't recall when I have been more pleased with a powered lawn product.
I did a lot of research after seeing the recent 5/18 Sun Joe dethatcher deal for the 15" 13 amp deal for 130. Much of the SD discussion focused on extension cord length needed to support the amperage the Sun Joe required (and the small bagger). I didn't want to also invest in a 10 gauge 150 foot cord or drag my generator around the yard, so
went with the Greenworks because 10 amps made my long (150') 14 gauge workable for me. I had some concerns about whether the unit had enough power on paper, but decided to give it a try.

My 5000sf lawn is steep and medium-small and hasn't been dethatched in 5 years.it took me all day to do it. I mowed to 2" and bagged clippings beforehand, then went quite slowly, holding the dethatcher back somewhat as it pulled forward. I also discovered if I wiggled the handle back and forth while moving it got a lot more thatch and, more importantly, didn't need a second pass at right angles later on. When I was done, I had raked up 14 tightly compressed large landscaping bags of thatch. The unit never overheated or even protested.

Bottom line, I am completely satisfied with this thing. It didn't leave the carnage that a heavy gas dethatcher does, it's easy to get up and down the steep slopes on my lawn, and I did not have to invest in yet another electrical cord.
I agree, this is a fantastic deal.

The witch doctors here will say yes, but it seems like a waste of the vestal virgins.

On a separate topic, the dethatcher will scarify the ground plenty well.

Dammit SD. Not sure I need this, but just moved into a new house and the lawn is decent, but I'd like to take a hand at making my lawn one of the nicer ones around. Hope this will help!

Depends if your lawn needs it and how you use it. If you use it wrong, you may end up with no grass. Lol

Similar situation, bought a place last fall. Have been waiting for a deal on this or the Sunjoe one. Lawn care FB groups seem to prefer the Sunjoe for the scarifier.

Anyways I manually dethatched a 1,200 sqft lawn this spring. I'm fit, but would chose to never do it again. At this price no brainer.

I've never dethatched our yard, 12 years. It's half an acre, but we do have a large area of landscaping, with patio and pool and campfire pit, etc.
Should I pick this up, or is there a better idea I should look into?
If you have more than ~1/4 acre (~10,000 sq/ft) of turf, I would recommend renting wider commercial equipment. Most commercial units will scarify and detach at the same time, as well.

Ugh, bought this item in April for basically full price, and I'm four days outside the return window. That's a $50 punch to the gut. Love the item though and it's definitely worth it at this price. Wait until the fall to use it though.

Quote from JohnnyFairplay :
I used to dethatch every spring but then read that it's better to do it in the fall. In the spring the grass is delicate as it's "waking up" and you'll be opening more opportunity for weed seeds to take hold. Idk if there's any science to that, but I skipped it this spring and am going to do it in the fall
You'll be opening up that opportunity any time of season. The trick is to apply a pre-emergent after the operation.

Anyone know if sacrificer is needed? I bought the sun Joe for 150... Curious if this is just as good. Haven't used sunjoe
Depending on your type of grass, the scarifier is better. For example, on Bermuda you don't want to use a dethatcher because the tines will damage the stolons and rhizomes.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank Joelioli

One thing to keep in mind, not every lawn needs dethatching. A small layer of thatch (1/2 inch) is good, and acts as a protective barrier for heat & traffic and retains moisture. You only need to dethatch if the thatch layer gets to 3/4 inch or more.

Aerating is often much more beneficial than dethatching.

I bought a dethatching rake 4 years ago and haven't used it other than to scarify dirt for seeds. My lawn has practically non-existent thatch for whatever reason (perhaps because I mulch, which actually provides decomposing material that breaks down the thatch layer).

I've used this for two seasons, and outside of the inconvenience of having a power cable, it's a very good product. At this price, it's a no brainer.

I bought this same unit 9 yrs ago.. use it yearly. Works great, no complaints really.
Mine came with a bagger.. never used it.. up in attic still. Don't see the point.

I live in Seattle area.
