      Same here. Bought the original. I’ve done a few different sections of my lawn (the worst ones). After three weeks, it’s amazing. Be got a lager section I want to do, but it has become quite hot here recently so I’ll wait until September for the rest.
      For what I paid, if I get thru this year and next season, I’ll be happy.

    Good and helpful info. My little unit is trucking along, but I do keep it on a short duty cycle. I use it for several passes and shut it off while I re-position the extension cord. Then I use my mower w/ the bag to vac it up on a lower setting.
    Lather rinse repeat. Give that little motor as many breaks as time allows and as you need too.

    Thanks for the review! Probably going to get this model. It would seem to be less laborious to put a bagged yard can out in the yard and keep the bagger on and dump the pulled up thatch into the can as it fills bag, versus dumping everything on the lawn only having to have to go back and pick it up manually and fill the bag...

    @staceybanks3674 Před 3 lety

    I got the new 15 inch and used it for the first time last weekend. Got a good amount out of my yard with a dethatcher and a ton with the scarifier. I had the same issue with the grill caking with debris. I used my air compressor to spray in there and it got it almost totally clean. That side collects the debris because there is a filter behind the grill.
    Overall, I am incredibly pleased with it and am getting ready to lend it out to some of my neighbors.

  • @acoldguy2381
    @acoldguy2381 Před 3 lety +1

    Looks like they greatly improved version 2 especially on the front leading edge; on version 1 the front leading edges would snag & drag on clumps and bumps mainly when scarifying. When I renovated my lawn with version 1 I ground off the lower edges of the plastic so I could smooth & level out the ground without being stopped by the bumps.

  • @ralphee2604
    @ralphee2604 Před 3 lety +29

    I've been using the Sun Joe for 3 years now and it still works great, and lawn looks amazing. One thing I did is remove the 2 springs on the guard cover that aid in holding the bag on and guard down, they don't seem to be needed at all without the bag. Without the springs the thatch slips out the guard cover more evenly and allows the entire machine to work better.

  • @BenNawrath
    @BenNawrath Před 3 lety +19

    Those carriage bolts in the handle need to be about 1/4 to 1/2” longer so you can open them up enough to fold the handle. I replaced mine and it’s perfect now!

  • @derekhowell1601

    Just ordered a sun joe 2.0... 1-2 months for it to ship. But I guess it means that I will be doing it just before end of season. (In time for over seeding.) I am sure I will do the "dethatch" when I get it. Then scarify just before season end. Enjoy the yard tips thanks for the help on getting my yard glorious and the envy of the neighbors.

  • @TheLawngineer
    @TheLawngineer Před 3 lety

    Good point about the extension cord... need the larger gauge to carry the current over that distance! Another issue to look out for is when the unit is plugged into an outlet on a 15 amp breaker that is running other things. Then the breaker pops due to being overloaded. 13 amps is no joke! Seems like a solid unit!

  • @PacificNorthwestLawns
    @PacificNorthwestLawns Před 3 lety +2

    Great review bud! On your 1.0 I've found that if you take it apart and get to the motor area it fills up with dust and debris that needs cleaned. If it gets too dirty there's some sort of shutoff that kicks in to keep it from over heating. Clean it out and you're good to go. 👊

  • @Maxspeed996
    @Maxspeed996 Před 3 lety +1

    I like the newer Height adjustment bar better. The tool attachment is very simple, but very effective at holding the blades or threshers to the motor. Same rule applies. Have a solid cord to run from a good circuit. I have an extra 30 amp dedicated for a freezer that I don't use anymore, and a heavy gauge cord. These little guys really pull some power.

    • @pestandlawnginja
      @pestandlawnginja  Před 3 lety

  • @DK85

    I just bought the smaller one to get the small rocks out of my lawn. Dethatching with it works. It was worth the $116 gamble. And my property is 30,000 sq ft. Great point about the 12 gauge cord. My model is 12 Amp, but it’s good advice nonetheless. Glad to see you back!

    @johngimperling6233 Před 3 lety +18

    Love my Sunjoe and all that it does. But there's a problem I ran into that I want to pass on: BEWARE of hidden tree roots lying just below the soil line. The spinning bar under the Sunjoe on one side has a slide that allows the bar to "skip up" if it hits anything solid. But the other side, attached to the motor and gears is solidly attached and has no play in it. While scarifying, I hit a buried tree root (at least 30 feet away from the tree), stripped the gears (they're made of plastic), and killed her. Sunjoe kindly provided me with a replacement for which I was happy. But it
    is something to be mindful of. Keep the good work, Ginja. Your videos are spot on!

  • @matthewstover6789
    @matthewstover6789 Před 3 lety +2

    Use your blower to clear the vents or a gentle brush. Also I found another flaw. The depth setting lever can jump down if your lawn is bumpy. My workaround was to use a light bungee from the lever to the opposite side of the handle midsection. After using the bungee there were no further issues. Another plus is the improvement of the ground clearance in the front. The previous model would drag and scrape against the lawn as you went making it a bit more difficult, not so in version two.

    I've got the Earthwise dethatcher. Works really well, no scarifier though. I loaned it out once last year with the 12ga cord. Don't get to use it til maybe August though. When mine gives out i'll get the SunJoe. For the price and ease of use compared to renting a big machine or paying someone, these are totally worth it. 2 total uses, if it last 10 times I feel that is pretty good value. The work afterwards was a pain, had 19 bags of yard waste.

    I have the Homelite 14-inch dethatcher. I'm amazed how well these work! I wished mine had the scarifying blade change out assembly. I've been extremely happy with mine, but If it wears out, I will look at the Sun Joe for the ability to scarify. My only concern with the 15-inch, is the dethatching attachment. It does not look as robust as the 13-inch unit. Please keep us updated on your thoughts and experience with this new unit.
    Stay safe, healthy, and happy.

  • @ginsengjin
    @ginsengjin Před 3 lety

    I wish you showed us the gear portion on the new one. Older sun joes have a weak point in the gears that connects from the motor and if it breaks it's not replaceable which is why I recommend not using the scarifier on rocky soil like in the northeast and just use the dethatch barrel. Anyways thanks for another great video lawn ginja!

    I bought version 1 last year and the Landzie and I finally put them to use last weekend to overseed my small front yard. I hit it right before the first dandelions are just popping. Both were easy to use. I just scarified, as the lawn was REALLY patchy (only about 60% coverage). Fingers crossed it works for me.

    Ginja, I bought the Greenworks version a couple of weeks ago and tried it on my large yard. The front yard alone is 10,700 square feet and is about 180 feet from front of house to street. The problem I had, and I suspect the SunJoe might also have, it lost power when I had to go beyond my 100-foot heavy gauge electric cord. The instructions warned of this but when I realized I could only reach about 65 percent of my front yard I dared the instructions and tried a second 100 foot cord. For sure a loss of power but it got thatch up with me walking at a slower pace. When I went back for a second round and went back to the single cord, the full power really didn't return. So be cautious as a buyer if your yard extends beyond the length of a 100 foot cord.

    So I picked up the Earthwise dethatcher last season and it works well (and was cheap). But kinda wishing I picked up the SunJoe because of the ability to swap between the scarifier and dethatcher. I knew they made a dethatcher, but was not aware of the ability to swap cartridges.

    I'm using the original, but there is a screw hiding under the sticker to get the top part off. I know because I hit a root and broke the belt. Received a new belt under warranty, but the replacement price is under $10. Should have ordered one at the same time! Thanks for the video!

    For the clogged front vents, the website mentions AirBoost technology? The owner's manual says "Ensure that the air vents are always unobstructed and clear. Clean them if necessary with a soft brush. Blocked air vents may lead to overheating and damage the product."

I noticed on this video especially, that when you turn away from the camera, the audio really dips down a lot. Other than that, keep up the great content, thank you!

  • @emerickscott

    interesting. I just sold my Sunjoe yesterday because I bought an Allett 43B w/scarifier. Note: I feel like most lawn care youtubers get them reversed - the dethatcher is the heavy solid tines and the scarifier is the spring tines. This is expected, because SunJoe gets it wrong too :)

    • @pestandlawnginja
      @pestandlawnginja  Před 3 lety +1

      funny story brian, it was allett that got the names wrong and they're aware of it too LOL. that's why they call it a power rake / scarifier. the term dethatcher is wrong in my opinion no matter the application. I think the term rake is great.

    I ordered this guy from the home store here.. and was super excited ... put it together and was getting ready.. but then found that the little plastic teeth that were used to set the height of the wheels, were broken... the teeth for the higher settings were snapped off, so the highest i could set it was at 0 height.. I wanted to run the first few passes of the dethatcher at a higher setting... Contacting Sunjoe to see if there was any warranty help was met with "Just return it where you bought it".. This model had become out of stock, so couldn't get a replacement.. so ordered the 13-inch...

      The sun joe isn’t as invasive to the grass or soil. Making recovery time significantly longer when you power rake
