Tines rake out, blades slice in · review
The cheapest dethatcher here at $79, with a 13.2-gallon bag, 26 scarifying blades and a 3-year warranty.
At $79, this undercuts everything else on this shelf by $30 or more, and it still offers a big 13.2-gallon bag and two rollers.
The 3-year limited warranty is the longest here, with TIECTOWN and Greenworks.
Most owners run a dethatcher only a few hours a year, which suits a low price.
Unplug the machine before changing a roller or clearing the tines, and use an outdoor-rated cord on a GFCI-protected outlet. Mark sprinkler heads and buried lines first: tines at working depth will catch them.

The listing does not explain it. The specifications compete with machines that cost twice as much, and a rating of 4.1 suggests buyers are mostly satisfied.
The title says 4, and the table says 5.
