Tines rake out, blades slice in · review
Well-specified and fully documented: two heads, a 14.5-gallon bag, 5 published depths and a 4.5 rating, for $150.
Westinghouse publishes what many leave out: 24 tines, 20 blades, the depth range and a 14.5-gallon bag. At $150 it sits in the middle of the shelf.
A bigger bag means fewer stops, and that matters more than a few RPM. The weight of 29.5 pounds is fair for 16 inches.
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.
