Greenworks 48V 15 in Dethatcher review

The only cordless dethatcher here. It has two 24V batteries and a brushless motor, costs more than double the corded rivals and has 18 ratings.

The case for cordless

A dethatcher drags a cord over the whole lawn, so a battery machine is a real comfort. No other model here offers it.

The case against

It costs more than twice as much as a good corded machine and publishes no runtime. If you can reach an outlet, the corded machines win easily.

Service safety

Remove the batteries before you clear tines or change the roller. Mark sprinkler heads first.

What this machine usually gets asked

How long does it run?

The listing gives no runtime, so ask the seller. Dethatching loads a motor heavily.

Are batteries included?

Yes, two 24V 4.0Ah batteries and a 65-watt charger.

Our score

7.6/ 10

Worth it only if a cord is a real problem.

This one and its buyer, among lawn equipment

A lawn too far from an outlet, or an existing Greenworks 24V owner.

The way we judge this lawn equipment

The live figure beside a product went and asked the shop for it the moment this page opened; any amount written into the text has not moved since the sentence was drafted, and it is the first of the two that counts.
