WEN Electric Tiller and Cultivator

Assembly takes about 15 minutes. The instructions are not the best but its pretty easy to figure out. There are 3 locking positions for the handle. The handle is wide and padded. The handle is metal, the rest of the body is plastic. The handle is assembled with plastic toggles which have a quick release so you can toolessly fold them down for storage. Light enough to hang for storage. It comes shipped with the heavier scarifier blade attached which makes sense. The dethatcher is in separate box and you can easily switch them with the included allen key and 5 minutes. The dethatcher box does not fit the scarifier blade. Large shifter handle to adjust the cutter height. 2-prong male power plug. Detachable clipping bag. The whole unit is lightweight which is good for using with one-hand on an incline. The wheels are large and it rolls easily. The drive is not powered but during operation the blades will provide some self propulsion. I used the highest setting of 1 and it was enough to pull thatch without harming the ground. You do need a 2 prong extension cord. I found that 14 gauge worked fine although 12 gauge is recommended. The button on the side starts the motor and the orange power handle keeps it locked on. The handle is good to hold on top or on the side. The optional bag will fill up quickly because the bag is not too big. Any dethatcher, by design, does not have large enough blades to create the airflow required to fill up a large bag anyways. Even the professional $3000 gas dethatchers (that you can rent) dont have a bag. So don't judge ANY dethatcher by its bagging capacity. The noise is equivilent to a shop vacuum. Hearing protection not required but advised. This was very effective on my lawn and it took about the same time as cutting the lawn. For the homeowner who wants to dethatch and/or scarify twice a year this works well and should last many years. I chose corded because its better for the environment and noise, and you dont want to run out of batteries in the middle of dethatching or scarifying. My lawn is 5,000 ft2. A long cord needed but worked non-stop with no problems.

Máquina potente y funcional de diseño bonito y moderno. Vi comentarios que la bolsa se llenaba muy rápido y que debería ser más grande pero pienso que es adecuado el tamaño; el problema es que si vas a escarificar antes debes de podar lo más corto posible el césped y con esto se evita que se llene tan rápido la bolsa. No conocía la marca y me gustó además de que el precio es muy competitivo, motivo por el cual voy a ver que otros productos tiene Wen.

Great value for the money and actually works. Used to scar bare spots on the lswn. Used the deepest setting without the bag and it tilled the soil just enough to reseed. Easy to assemble, easy to operate. the handle hieght is adjustable so I could adjust it to my 5'1" and then to my husband's 6'2" height. Kept the wheelbarrow handy to enpty the bag when using the thatch blade. while the bag does not hole that much, emptying it into the wheel barrow made the thatch easy to dispose of without having to rake. Much better than renting the heavy cumbersome aerator from Home Depot and the lawn does not have dirt plugs everywhere. Will spread 4 cu yards of amended topsoil tomorrow, over seed and cover with a thin layer of dirt. We are trying RTF tall fescue in tidewater Virginia.

So this machine is pretty lightweight, BUT, it definitely gets the job done. I was initially a bit worried because of the 15 amp power requirement on the box, but I got my whole back yard done with no circuit breaker kicks. One downside of the device is that it's almost TOO light, you might find yourself having to pull back the dethatcher a couple feet and going over the spot again if you have even a little bit of uneven ground in your yard. 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!
