(2023 Upgraded) SWIPESMITH 16” 15 Amp Electric Dethatcher Scarifier, Lawn with 5-Position Depth Adjustment, 14.5 Gal Removable Thatch Collection Bag, Quick-Fold, Keeps Health
  • Productive Dethatching: SWIPESMITH electric dethatcher features more efficient dethatching thanks to the 15 AMP strong motor and 16-inch extra wide raking path. Note: This dethatcher is not a lawnmower but an efficient solution for removing the layer of debris and dead grass from your lawn and keeping it healthy.
  • 2-in-1 Functionality: SWIPESMITH lawn dethatcher comes with a dethatching and a scarifying blade. The dethatching blade removes thick layers of dead plants, and the scarifying blade cuts grass roots for thicker and healthier lawn growth. The stainless spring steel tines maximize thatch pickup and stay sharp longer for reliable performance.
  • Working Depth and Angle Adjustment: You can use the 5-position control lever ranging from -0.47” to 0.4” to adjust the rake heights for lawn maintenance all year round; the 3-position adjustable rod is suitable for people of different heights, meeting every family’s needs.
  • 14.5gal Thatch Collection Bag: The 14.5gal removable thatch bag achieves hassle-free raking that automatically collects the thatch during the dethatching. Note: Pouring the thatch bag several times is necessary to complete the dethatching work if there is too much thatch on the lawn.
  • Safe & Easy to Use: With two switches, the SWIPESMITH scarifier avoids accidental start and ensures your safety; simply press to operate and collect the thatch and debris with the 14.5gal collection bag.

🔌 First Impressions & Set-Up

Unboxing this beauty, you’ll notice it isn’t your dainty little garden gadget. Sporting a 16-inch width, it’s built to mean business.

And with a name like SWIPESMITH, you almost expect it to craft a sword or two. Spoiler: it won’t, but it’ll sure give your lawn a good combing.

🌱 Performance

SWIPESMITH brings the power with its 15 Amp motor. This isn’t your grandma’s dethatcher, folks. If your lawn could scream, “I’m being pampered,” it probably would.

The dethatching capabilities are quite commendable, with a scarifying feature that might just make your grass send you thank-you notes.

Design & Ease of Use

Built sturdily but not bulky. It’s like the Hercules of dethatchers – strong but not intimidating. The handle feels comfortable, almost like it’s saying,

“Let’s get to work, but at your own pace.” The controls are user-friendly, making it accessible even if you’re not a lawn-care aficionado.

🔋 Power & Efficiency

Did I mention 15 Amps of pure electric prowess? Unlike your typical teenager, this one has no issues getting up and getting to work. It powers through dethatching tasks efficiently.

But remember, it’s electric. So if you’re fond of the “I’m-free-as-a-bird” gasoline experience, this might be a tad tethering.
