About this product

Get your lawn in top green shape with the Sun Joe Dethatcher Joe AJ801E 13 in. electric scarifier + lawn dethatcher. Powered by a robust 12 Amp motor, the Dethatcher Joe rakes a 13 in. W path in a single pass to get your job done fast. Enhancing its raking ability is AirBoost technology, which maximizes thatch pickup with spring steel tines that stay sharp longer for reliable performance. Use the 5-position depth control knob to tailor the raking depth from 0.4 in. (10 mm below the soil) to 0.4 in. (10 mm above the soil), depending on your lawn's scarifying or dethatching needs. Scarifying your lawn at regular intervals cuts grass roots and encourages growth for thicker, healthier turf. Thatch is a dense mat of roots, stems and grass clippings that accumulates on lawns over time, blocking the flow of water, oxygen and vital nutrients. It is important to periodically remove thatch in order to keep your lawn green and healthy. While ordinary manual rakes are tiresome to use and not very effective, the electric Dethatcher Joe starts instantly with the push of a button and easily gets the job done without polluting the atmosphere with toxic carbon emissions. No gas, oil or tune-ups make the Sun Joe Dethatcher Joe your green choice for greening your lawn.

    Great little machine. Very impressed.

    This thing is great. I can't believe all of the dead stuff it pulled up. I filled 3 trash cans of dead grass and I have a tiny yard. I followed the advice of previous reviewers and left the collection bag off. I just went over it with my lawnmower to suck it up afterwards. I wish I had gotten it sooner as I probably over seeded too late in the season. I am looking forward to using it again in the spring. The only thing that annoyed me was having to drag the super heavy cord over the yard but it was a small nuisance.

    Great Electrical Machine

    I have used my Sunjoe about 5 times since purchasing in the Spring. I’ve not used a gasoline power rake, so I can’t say that this one is better, but I can say that the Sunjoe is better for my needs. I bought a 100ft extension cord that is long enough for me to complete my front and back yard. I find it easier to use it without the bag since the bag fills up quickly. Easy to change between thatch and scarifier attachments, and adjust the height. Overall satisfied with the purchase.

    Best Buy sent me a used damaged product

    Best buy sent me a used damaged product! This product you can tell was sold to someone and it was returned. There is still dirt inside the machine. There are bends in the plastic. I cannot believe Best Buy really believed I was gullible enough to think I was going to keep this product.

    Works as expected

    Use it once and it’s paid for. The local rental was $100. It is small, but I have a small yard. It really works. Changing the blades isn’t the easiest.

    A workhorse perfect for rebuilding your lawn

    Did what it was advertised to do would have been 5 stars if the collection bag on the back wasnt so small. Even better solution would have been to have a universal clamp to use a regular size mower bag. Had the power to perform the task was alittle difficult to turn but for the price point was to be expected perfect for anyone with a stanard size front lawn been 3 weeks already seeing positive results from the newly planted seed.

  • Can this be used to pick up leaves?

    It’s probably inefficient with leaf collection. The metal tines would probably pick up some leaves, but the bagger is way too small even if the rake attachment is successful at “collecting” instead of poking at the leaves.

  • Is the sun Joe dethatcher power cord or battery?

    Corded.
