Deal Details
Had been watching this but missed it when Amazon had Lightning Deal and dropped price from $175 to $122 the other day. Since then, its been around $144 for both Amazon & Walmart, until I checked just now seeing it drop to $118 (at Walmart)!

I am also eyeing on one.
But, I would wait a little, it was selling for $49 few weeks back.
I'm sure they will need to get rid of this before winter.

I could be wrong but that price might be for the smaller AJ801E which is 12-amp 13".

This bigger one is 13-amp 15" and had been $175 prior to the Lightning Deal. Nice that Amazon now matched the price too!

These are decent units for the price - I bought one in the summer on a deal for my ~ 0.5ac lawn. Tried it out for the first time a couple weeks ago, and it took around 2.5-3 hours to do the entire lawn *once*. I only stopped to move extension cords, the unit ran the entire time without thermal overload or stopping.

For reference a gas powered model @ HD is around $85 to rent for 24 hours, at least near me. I have no doubt that's a better solution, it probably is wider, but will still take time, and for the ~price of one rental you can have this one to own. I guess it depends on how much your time is worth, although for the HD unit you also have to include the time it takes hauling the unit to/from the store, so it's probably a wash unless you have a very large lawn, in which case electrical would be impractical anyway.

I had a smaller one from Greenworks...only used it a handful of few times but died the last time we tried to use it - last year. LOL My neighbor and me planned on dethatching that day soooo...we scrambled and went to the local rental place. Thankfully he has a pick up truck and we were able to haul a gas powered beast home. I think it was $70 to rent and we split it.

Naturally, the gas powered one removed tons more than the Greenworks. It was also exponentially heavier than these electric ones which I would think helps keeps it grabbing at the ground better. It was really nice not having to deal with a cord but you're right, having to haul the thing and needing a pickup truck negates much of the positive imo, especially if one is not doing a ton of land.

My lot is .3 acres. The Greenworks was a toy in terms of power compared to the gas powered one but it was also lower amp and smaller deck. I hoping this 13-amp will be significantly more powerful than the Greenworks.

I watched several YT videos and reviews are very good for the AJ805E.

One thing to note for those reading is to use the proper gauge extension cable for this 13-amp to give it enough juice and to not prematurely burn out the unit.

There was an unit available for $50 at Walmart a couple of months back. I think for once a year use that would be a better investment.
