Absolute steal at this price. Would jump on it if I didn't already have it. Helpful tip, don't bother with the bag. Do your dethatching without it and then take it up or use your mower to bag it.
can anyone tell me what is this for?

Pretty recent thread talks about this to death. I posted a bulleted list that summarizes other prior deals, however, I dont think the thread actually says what this DOES, lol.

Thatch is a layer of dead grass which in reasonable quantities keeps lawn moist and lessens diseases. However, too much, and new grass cant grow out. Think of new grass like ingrown hairs which cant poke through the thatch (skin).

Most of the YT videos which promote using these use them as part of a winterizing regimen (overseeding, aerating, fertilizing inc.) The machine is wired and large properties will take some time.

I love mine (but Im not totally in love with Sun Joe QC...)

Omg! Yeah I just notice when I purchased mine. I was about to share my items to a fellow lawn care friend but it showed up out of stock. I basically got it for "free" with my IB Cashback and redeem it for instant gift card.

@ 50 feet or 100 feet, those cords will cost you about twice you paid for this dethather.

I secretly think this "deal" is actually a scam to increase their sale in cord akin to the printer inkjet business. But there doesn't seem to be a real connection between Sun Joe and any of the cord suppliers, so I'm going to put that thought at the bottom of my pile.

Thanks for the deal post!

Specs say requires 14 gauge cord. Scanned HD site and their HDX brand don't look too terribly expensive.

Bought 10 of them. Resale value 🔥🔥🔥
Discontinued model that will be on clearance at several sites, and shipping cost is high so you'll have to try and find a lot of local people that want one and don't know it is an old model that can be found cheap online with warranty, whereas no warranty from you....

Good luck

It's just WM offloading stock of the discontinued model. No scam or conspiracy. Though I believe Sunjoe does have their own 12 gauge ext cords.

There are regularly deals on the yellow 12 gauge 50 foot ext cords for like $25. And they can be used for much more than just this.

That's also a rototiller. I guess tearing up all your grass technically removes the thatch.....

There are optional attachments for dethatcher and edger and some other stuff. It is nice to have gas power while dethatching.

OMG! I was going to buy this for $129 on Amazon, but was still contemplating on the purchase and did not made it yet. Well, this made it easier to decide! Bought 2 of them and it's still under the $129 price tag. At this price, it wouldn't hurt to get a backup. Thanks so much, OP!
The one on Amazon is the newer model but there isn't anything that makes it worth more than 2x the price so yeah this discontinued one is the way to go at 50 bucks.

To preserve the motor in the unit I'd use 12 gauge and try not to go beyond 100 feet.

Sure for $400 to 500 for the unit and attachment, I'm sure it's great, but for most it would make more sense to rent a gas one once a year at that price. For a small lawn, can't beat this one. I've used a gas one before and this does just as good, but it does takes a couple passes to match the result. Plus the hassle of the cord. But again, 50 vs 500 kinda apples and oranges.

Most dont need to dethath every year as the mulched grass clippings will continue to breakdown. Every 2-3 years is more than enough for most. Its best to combine dethathing with core aeration and overseeding in that same cycle in the fall to get the best results.
