WORXWG850 12 Amp 14 Inch Corded Electric Dethatcher, Black

I have seen reviews that said that the bag was trash but I don’t know if they have updated it or what but mine worked perfectly! I had to dump it about 6 times for my back yard didn’t have to take anything up it got it all!! I filled up a 40 gal trash can!

I was very impressed up until I stopped to move the cord to a different outlet and the unit just stopped working. I thought for sure it was dead but after about an hour of torrets, it just started working again. If there is a heat sensor there is no indication other than... I'm broke for a while. It did eventually begin working again and I was able to finish the yard. Did not use the bag. Just mowed after to clean up what it pulled up. Filled my mower bag countless times. Immediately fertilized and seeded the yard after. Hoping for a much better yard next year!

I received this on Thursday, used it for 20 minutes on Friday and it stopped working. The blade's washer for the blade was plastic, one end on the blade is metal but the other end (the importent end) is plastic. I went online to order a new blade as the instruction booklet said it is available. It is not listed at all as available to purchase. It didn't read Sold Out , it just was not listed at all. No replaceable parts for the dethacher so it is useless. I returned the machine.FYI, St. Augustine grass runners wrap around and around the blade. I needed to stop often to unwind the grass. Finally it just stopped turning because the plastic parts broke.The bag catcher is small, as mentioned by others, but personally I didn't mind having to empty it.Very disapointed in the plastic parts on machine.How much more of a cost increase (to the company) would it have been to have made all the blade moving parts metal? The cost for all metal parts, after all, would have been included in the retail price we customers will pay for the product.

I have a .7 acre lawn that has never been thatched. I have some areas that I want to over seed and so I bought this electric dethatcher hoping to be able to thin out the thatch so the seed would make good contact with the ground. I have had many WORX lawn tools before and they were all first rate.I mowed the lawn down to 1 inch in height and then used the WORX dethatcher. It grabbed about 50% of the thatch on the first run over the lawn without damaging any of the good grass roots.It was easy to assemble and I am quite happy with the results. It is a good value for the money. I was looking at more powerful gas driven units but then I would’ve had another gas engine to maintain. Since this runs on 120 V AC I just plug it in and use it.A good value for the money. It isn’t built to last forever or to dethatch a golf course but for a small lawn like mine it worked well.

I have a 1/2 acre property that I divided into 2 days worth of dethatching. The first day, the machine worked great. The 2nd day, it shut off after I was almost done, assuming due to overheating. It wasn’t until an hour after originally shutting off, was I able to get the machine to turn on again. When running, it worked good. However, it will overheat and shut itself off for a lengthy period of time.

I had my doubts but found it to be very good at tearing out the thatch in my yard. The negatives are the catcher basket is way too small! I took it off and when done tearing up the thatch picked up the crap with my mower. Its worth the money. My lawn service quoted me over $500 to do it!

Hold on tight, folks! I'm about to take you on a wild ride through my experience with the WORX WG850 12 Amp 14 Inch Corded Electric Dethatcher. Buckle up and prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions as we delve into the highs and lows of this turf tamer. With my honest and authentic review, I'll provide helpfulness tips and share my personal experiences with a dash of humor. So, let's get started on this grassy adventure!The Highs: Let's begin with the positives of the WORX WG850. First and foremost, this dethatcher packs a punch with its powerful 12 Amp motor. It effortlessly cuts through the tangled mess of dead grass and thatch, leaving my lawn looking refreshed and revitalized. I was impressed by its ability to handle even the most stubborn patches.Additionally, the 14-inch wide deck provides ample coverage, saving me time and effort. With each pass, the dethatcher efficiently rakes up the thatch, making it a breeze to collect and dispose of later. The adjustable depth settings allowed me to customize the dethatching process according to the needs of my lawn, ensuring optimal results.Another standout feature is the ergonomically designed handle, which provides a comfortable grip and reduces fatigue during extended dethatching sessions. The lightweight nature of the dethatcher made it easy to maneuver around my yard, even in tight corners and tricky areas.The Lows: Now, let's dive into the bumps along the way. One aspect that left me somewhat disappointed was the corded design. While I understand the need for a power source, the cord's limitations were frustrating at times. I had to be mindful of its length and positioning to avoid running over it or accidentally unplugging it. An extension cord became a necessary companion during my dethatching endeavors.Furthermore, the collection bag that comes with the dethatcher could be improved. While it effectively collects the thatch, it is on the smaller side. This meant frequent stops to empty it, disrupting the flow of my dethatching rhythm. A larger capacity bag would have been a welcome addition.Despite its adjustable depth settings, I noticed that the dethatcher struggled a bit when it came to extremely thick thatch. It required multiple passes in those areas, which added to the overall dethatching time. Although it eventually got the job done, a more powerful tine system would have expedited the process.Helpfulness Tips:1. Before starting, prepare your lawn by mowing it at a lower height to make dethatching more effective.2. Use the adjustable depth settings to find the right balance between removing thatch and avoiding damage to the healthy grass.3. Consider investing in a heavy-duty extension cord to ensure freedom of movement without interruptions.4. Plan your dethatching session on a dry day when the soil is not overly wet to avoid causing damage.5. If your lawn has extremely thick thatch, consider using the dethatcher in multiple passes to achieve optimal results.Personal Experience: As I embarked on my dethatching journey with the WORX WG850, I couldn't help but feel like an adventurer on a quest for the perfect lawn. Armed with determination and a pair of gardening gloves, I set out to conquer the thatch monsters lurking in my yard. The initial excitement was palpable, as I plugged in the dethatcher and felt the hum of its power resonating through my hands.With each pass, the dethatcher's tines eagerly sank into the turf, revealing a sea of tangled thatch beneath. I marveled at the efficiency with which it cleared away the debris, exposing the vibrant green grass below. It was as if my lawn had received a long-overdue spa treatment, shedding its dullness for a newfound radiance.However, as I progressed, the limitations of the corded design began to dampen my enthusiasm. My otherwise smooth journey was interrupted by frequent glances back, ensuring I didn't trip over the cord or unplug it accidentally. It felt like a comical dance routine as I weaved my way across the yard, dodging obstacles and maintaining the delicate balance between efficiency and cord safety.Nonetheless, despite these occasional setbacks, the WORX WG850 proved its mettle by consistently delivering satisfying results. It transformed my lawn from a lackluster patchwork of dead grass to a vibrant and inviting carpet of green. The sight of my rejuvenated yard brought a sense of accomplishment and pride, making the dethatching process worthwhile.

The work was much simpler when I used the dethatcher . This is a good and reasonably priced product .

A la hora de usarlo da excelentes resultados, la verdad q buena decisión comprar este equipo

When I received the box it was leaking sand. I assembeled the thing and it was also leaking sand. When I tried to start it up it choked. I unscrewd the detatcher to look inside and saw the weight bag inside was cut open and the sand from the bag went in the electric motor and almost broke it.

This de-thatcher is truly easy to use being light weight and small. Getting under bushes is straight forward. You can control the amount of scrabbling by slowing down/speeding up your pace or tilting the unit backward. The handle bar is designed for a person 6' 6" or taller, so I bent the control arms down a little using my electrical conduit tool... now the handle bar is belly level not upper chest level. The paint came off the bars when I bent them (no primer unfortunately). When articulating the handle to put the tool away - more compact position - the carriage bolts get jammed, making the procedure awkward. This might be fixed by enlarging the holes so the threads don't catch.... this is a minor complaint.We'll see how long this garden tool lasts... but overall this seems like decent value, even better that you don't have to fill it with gasoline!

This machine performed as expected. Fortunately I read previous reviews that suggested using without the bag attachment then finish sucking up the thatch with the power mower with bag attachment. The dethatching process took some time to understand best handling for maximum efficiency. Oh, by the way, the. Cost of this machine has paid for itself compared to the cost if done by a contractor.
