About This Product
Get your lawn in top green shape with the AJ801E Sun Joe 12.6-in. Electric Scarifier + Lawn Dethatcher. Powered by a robust 12-amp motor, the Sun Joe Dethatcher rakes a 12.6-in. W path in a single pass to get your job done fast. Enhancing its raking ability is Sun Joe's exclusive AirBoost technology, which maximizes thatch pickup with 27 spring steel tines that stay sharp longer for reliable performance. Use the five-position depth control knob to tailor the raking depth from -0.4 in. (10 mm below the soil) to 0.4 in. (10 mm above the soil), depending on your lawn’s dethatching or scarifying needs. Scarifying your lawn at regular intervals cuts grass roots and encourages growth for thicker, healthier turf, all thanks to the scarifying cylinder’s 20 slicing blades. And the best part? No gas, oil or tune-ups. Comes with a complete two-year warranty, too, for worry-free performance you can count on, season after season.

Does this aerate the lawn as well?
Dear Nikki, The Sun Joe 13 in. 12 Amp Electric Scarifier + Lawn Dethatcher with Collection Bag is not capable of aerating a lawn. Hope this helps, if you have any other questions please let us know. Thanks Customer Service Team Snow Joe + Sun Joe
No, if by aerate you mean doing something other than scratch the surface. It does a decent job at dethatching for an inexpensive tool, but it does not go deep.
No, it dose not aerate.
No. But the scarifier does a shallow aeration with the lawn cut short. This system is also limited to a 100 foot extension cord. Warns that anything over 100 feet may cause damage to the motor.
