Product Description
Remember when your lawn was the talk of the neighborhood? Treat your yard right with the WEN 2-in-1 Electric Dethatcher and Scarifier. This versatile machine both aerates your lawn while also removing thatch, debris, dead grass, and other unwanted organic matter. If left untended, this organic buildup prevents your lawn from getting the full amount of nutrients, air, and water that it needs to thrive. Our powerful 15-amp motor rotates up to 3300 times per minute, clearing a path up to 16 inches wide with each pass. The unwanted thatch is then collected into the included detachable collection bag. Choose between the 20-blade scarifying head and the 24 steel-tine dethatching head depending on the task at hand. The 5-position height adjustment features five depth settings: +1/4", -1/8", -1/4", -3/8", -1/2". Overload protection automatically stops the motor during contact with hard rocks, concrete, and other immovable objects, preventing damage to the scarifier and the blades. And because it’s a WEN product, your 2-in-1 Electric Dethatcher comes backed by a two-year warranty, a helpful customer service line, and a stocked inventory of replacement parts, all to make sure you remember WEN.

Easy assembly, folds up small, it’s pretty light overall.
Compared to my tow behind dethatcher the Wen scarifier pulled up more than 10x the thatch. The one reason I give a four is that when I did this it was 90+ degrees, and the machine seemingly overheated a few times as so much grass got wrapped around the blades in combination with the heat. A five minute water break seemed reset the machine.
Tip: keeping back flap open a bit to let grass clippings escape worked best for me, no bagger as you’d be emptying every five steps.
Overall good value, would purchase again!

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2024
After reading reviews prior to purchasing, I was concerned about how small the catcher is, and how often you need to empty it. Well yes it is small, and I had to empty it almost every 120' feet or so, but the bag had hotter so heavy that it would top the front. Seriously, I didn't find emptying it a problem with the amount of thatch it picked up. After dethatching, I actually ran my mower over the lawn, to grab anything the dethatcher left behind.
The only complaint I had was I wish the handle in the mid section was about 1 inch wider in both sides. It would make removing and resetting the catcher so much easier. Or just make the second handle section as wide as the first.
I am completely satisfied with this unit, and would recommend it's purchase. Lightweight, easy to adjust height, easy to change blade to scarifier, and the price was right.
But I took 1 star off for design. 2 things that could be improved:
1) When removing the grass catcher bag, the upper flap automatically closes, and has to be lifted every time when re-inserting the bag. Well, the bag fills up so quickly, it becomes very annoying lifting up that flap every time I have to empty the bag. My lawnmower has a flap that locks in upper position during bag removal, and releases automatically when the machine is started. This is a simple mechanism that should be added here, too.
2) It is absolutely impossible to fit this machine into the box it was shipped in without fully disassembling all the pieces again. Let's face it, most of the users/buyers are homeowners. We dethatch grass TWICE a YEAR ONLY. That's TWO days out of a whole year (unless we need to scarify once in a blue moon). For the rest of the year, it needs to be stored somewhere. Not everyone has dedicated sheds. And I have plenty of other things I need to store in the garage. It would make more sense to make this machine with handle bars being fully foldable. As it is, the handle bar cannot be completely removed because of the cable and power switch mechanism. The bar has to be taken apart, which is cumbersome with twisting the 6 bolts in and out every time. And even when the bolts are removed, most of the items fit into the original box, except the leaf bag and scarifier blades. It would be so much better designed if I could just put the machine in the original box, fold the arms down into the box, put the leaf bag on top, close the box and store for the next 6 months.

Only other gripe is that it came with the scarifier attachment installed instead of the dethatcher (dethatcher is in its own little box). All the tools required to swap attachment are included and it took like 30 seconds to get the blades swapped.
All in all, great little machine, I pulled an entire bin worth of thatch out of like half of my small back yard. Definitely does the job!
