I also own this unit, 3 years now, and love it. Everything he has said is 100 % accurate …. It is so easy to use, so easy to change from dethatch to scarify …. Bag does fill too quickly so it will clog and dump it back on the lawn …. My “hack” is to put a bungee cord down near the unit, from handle to handle and rest the discharge door on top of the bungee cord so it stays open…. Then simply go over it with my mower set on a high setting to “vacuum” it all up…. Great product and worth the price for sure.
Good video Lawngineer!!
Thanks! I love the bungee cord hack. Gonna give that a try.
I bought mine 2 yrs ago. Absolutely love it. Have a 5k sq ft lawn. Used it to dethatch and did a renovation for barenburg rpr. Works perfectly. The bag fills fast so i dont use it. But for the money.. great unit that works really well. They do have a battery version and wider.
I only have the Greenworks dethatcher. Naturally learned of the Sunjoe afterward. But my dethatcher does a pretty good job. Dethatcher scratches the surface well enough for seed, especially using a covering over it anyway.
I also have a similar model to the Greenworks (Earthwise)… good unit.
I love my Sunjoe Dethatcher Vince picked it up for $35 on Craigslist a few years back. Works every time! If the unit shuts off from overheating just go back and mow up / rake what you’ve done ✅ usually cools off enough in that time. Happy New Year 🎆 sir 😎
Nice Craigslist find! Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!
I have this exact unit and love it. I've only used it for my lawn reno so far but looking forward to using it for lawn Maintenace moving forward.
What grass type did you go with on your renovation?
@@TheLawngineer 50/50 mix of Ryann Knorr's PRG and GCI's KBG Blue Heat. The color and stripes are amazing. I can't wait to see it more mature this year!
@@PNWlawnguy1973 it’s gonna look good!
Great video demonstration!
@@cynt344 thank you
I love these videos. Getting me excited for lawn work come warmer weather!
13 minutes of excitement!
I'm planning some french drain work this spring too. It'd be great if you'd include more drainage type videos. Looking for inspiration especially after all this rain!@@TheLawngineer
Vince, I love my unit, have had it for about 3 years. I use the scarify side for my eagles 🦅 Bermuda grass in the back yard and my rye/fescue in the front and side yard. I just wish they made something for aeration.
Nice! How do you like the Bermuda grass?
@@TheLawngineer I am using the Tahoma 31 Bermuda grass plugs from tuckahoe and unfortunately It hasn’t been spreading as rapidly as I want. I have been having issues with drainage and really bad dirt (Marlton) so I am trying to aerate as much as I can. (Hence why I want a cheaper aerator) but from the plugs I planted it looks great.
@@johngrinnell we gotta get together soon since you are so close by. I’ve considered the Tahoma 31. Should do nicely around here. Feel free to reach out anytime via email at vincethelawngineer@gmail.com
Thanks for a great product tutorial really appreciate very informative everything covered one end to the other
Thanks for watching!
Great review!
How often do you dethatch? I usually cut my lawn at either 3 and a quarter or 3 and a half inches. How low should I go in preparation for using the dethatcher or scarifier?
I typically do it annually. I’ll usually lower the deck to about 2 inches. Do it when the grass is vigorously growing and not under other stress.
Thanks so much
Which is better for reseeding, the scarifier or the dethatcher? I’ve heard it each way. Thanks…
First, use the dethatcher IF your lawn has buildup of dead grass on top of the soil, then use the scarifier, because it cuts slits in the soil surface, about 1/4 inch deep, about one inch apart. When you spread the seed, some of it will fall into the slits, where it is protected and should germinate properly. These SunJoes are a must have for lawn care. It will pay for itself in a couple uses.

What type of grass? Some say not to dethatch Bermuda.
I’ve heard conflicting things about using this on Bermuda (or other grasses with stolons). One argument is that it will lift up the stolons injuring the plant. Others say it really helps the plant grow vigorously. I’ve never done it. I’m using it on cool season grass types.
Do saint augustine grass like to have this done to it
You know what, there are two schools of thought on this. Some fear that running a machine like this will pull up the stolons and damage the plant. Others rave that it really helps thicken things up. I personally don't have experience with warm season turf to tell you one-way or the other.
What’s best month to do this job?
I like doing it before seeding. Either in the spring or fall. When the grass is growing.
What's the best depth to use?
If you want to seed, I'll go on the lowest setting. If I'm just maintaining and picking up thatch, I'll leave it on the '0' setting which is the soil level.
Anyone run into sod netting with these? Curious if it bogs up or cuts through a lot of the net.
This is a good question. I hope someone chimes in to share their experience. I have not experienced this.
Can u use this as a mower?
No. This will not cut grass.
