Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower czcams.com/users/postUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.
Bought the SunJoe last fall. I scarified my front yard this spring and overseeded. My front has never looked so thick especially with two large maple trees that shade it almost all day. Used the dethatcher a few weeks ago on my backyard and pulled mass amounts of dead debris after 3 passes. Aerated and overseeded with JG BBU and is just now in the baby stages.. SunJoe is a beast for how small that thing is.
This is exactly what I needed in order to finally pull the trigger. Thank you for the content Jimmy.
Thanks you so much for your time to compare these products. I've been on the fence between Sun Joe and Greenworks, and after seeing your review I'll jump and buy the Sun Joe dethatcher. Continue your good work, it's appreciated!
I'm glad you pointed out that you could start the Sunjoe with one hand because my left arm is paralyzed so thank you for that extra detail! I just ordered one also because it works great.
Great review Jimmy. I've been on the bubble about these two machines. Sun Joe looks to be more of what I'm looking for. Thank you so much.
Have the sun joe for 4 yrs now does great job.
Thanks so much for this review! It made my decision between the two brands really easy.
Awesome review I appreciate your time and diligence it save me a lot of time. Thank you again be safe and stay healthy
I was on the fence on deciding which dethatcher between the two to purchase. After watching your review, I made my decision. Thank you for this very helpful video!
Just discovered this channel and I love it. I’ve learned a ton just by watching a few videos. Thanks!🎉
Great video. I've read a few reviews on both machines but this was a really helpful "head to head" comparison.
Got our SunJoe this week. Cant wait to get started!
I got the sun joe and wow this yard hard not been done. Wow it was exhausting but well worth it.
I've had my sunjoe for 3 months and was amazed by the amount thatch that is pulled from my lawn. I highly recommend it, easy to use and surprising how it holds up.
Great review Jimmy! Purchased a SunJoe for myself last fall after viewing the Ginja’s review of both machines. Absolutely love the scarifier attachment as well! Used it when renovating 3000 square feet of my 10,000 square foot lawn this fall. Your lawn, as always, is looking great!
Same
Best video showing the difference in performance between dethatching and scarifying for the SunJoe!
Just ordered my sunjoe should be here Thursday, thank you for the review, btw the mountain background in the beginning of video was breathtaking..
God bless🙏
Thank you
Thanks for the comparison, I now know which one to get. Great job!
Wow! Never detached my lawn before but that sun joe has got me sold.. great video!
Great comparison, thank you!
Thank you… great video. I used my SunJoe with the dethatcher blade and was absolutely amazed. I have not used the scarifier yet but after seeing your vid will consider this in the near future!
Nice review! I was deciding between these two. Very helpful.
I have Green works. It's been with me for many years. I need to use it
Great comparison of the two! I have the greenworks and have to say the height adjustment is confusing. The manual clearly says when setting “I” is at the bottom the dethatcher is on the highest setting. In reality, when “I” is on the bottom it’s actually on the lowest setting.
I have the Greenworks and love it, looking at getting the Sunjoe for the scarifier. I'm English and next years project is for me to use pure English lawn car practices on my back KBG/PRG lawn - scarifying is something my Dad would do after aeration in the fall. After scarifying the grass will produce lots of sideways shoots, which will result in a thicker sward.
I hit the subscribe button when you cleverly incorporated your kids comparing their heights to the machines. Good stuff man. Thanks for the inspiration. Peace
Great video Jimmy! I was on the verge of buying the Greenworks dethatcher but will definitely be getting the Sun Joe Dethatcher for sure! I actually have a Snow Joe Thrower (electric as well) and a Sun Joe cordless air compressor and I am very happy with both of those Joe products.
Thank you for your video. It help me decide which machine to buy.
Great video... thanks for posting. Just the info I was looking for,
Great vid, thanks for posting and awesome lawn...
I have seen at least one other comparison that had the exact same results yours did...the SunJoe got significantly more “junk” out. Led me to purchase the SunJoe and have been very happy with what it’s done. Great review!
I just used my green works one for the first time and I like it but its not the greatest so im gonna buy the sunjoe for the same reason you did thanks for the reviews loved it
Thanks Jimmy - awesome comparison and very helpful :)
i have sunjoe and it works great for me this is the 2nd season im using it, haven't used scarifier that comes with it yet (planning next year).
Cant speak for greenworks as i never tried it .. but i believe both will work just great...
Thanks so much for all the information I’ve been back-and-forth in my head which one I wanted to buy, you made up my mind. 😊Thank you!!
Glad I could help! What did you decide to go for?
Found my Sunjoe online for 127.00 love it did a great to prepare go seeding
Excellent comparison video! Definitely helps with my upcoming purchase. Thanks.
Thank you
Very convincing reason to buy Sun joe. Thanks.
I bought a SunJoe and it kicks ass. Its hard to believe how much it can pull out of the lawn..
1) your yard looks fantastic
2) I bought the SunJoe and am excited to use it in the spring.
I love the scarifier attachment. It will be on my must buy list for next year but for my Liberty 43 :)
I have one for several years, I love it.
You need to leave the rear door a little open to let the grass out and to cut the front lip 1 1/2" so that it does not plow in the ground at all time.
I prefer using the scarifier attachment even to dethatch.
Very informative and helpful vid. Thanks
Sun Joe all day baby! Love mine!
Awesome video! You just sold me. The rental place never called me back so I'm gonna do it myself. I just bought the Sun Joe AJ801E for $138 at Walmart.
THanks !! You video was helpful, I was about to order the Greenworks.... but changed to the SunJoe!!
I mowed my TTTF to about 2” and then set the SunJoe at lowest dethatch setting. It was the first time dethatched in 3 summers. I was really impressed with what it brought up. Next year, I am going with the scarifier and try what one of the comments said about using it to lift up thatch, seed, and then go back over. Sounds like a great idea. I had someone aerate and they tore up areas that caused more issues than what it was worth. Thanks for the great video!
Sounds like a good plan! Thanks for watching
So Don are you saying dethatch and remove it, then seed, then use the scarifer to cut the seed into the soil? Just asking and wanted to know if compost or additional to soil is needed? Thanks either way!
@@davondd I ended up on my front yard using the Sun Joe power rake attachment sand going over it twice. Both times I used my mower to pull up all the dead grass. Then I used the scarifier attachment as aggressively as I could. Again I used the mower to go over to pull up the dead material. After that, I seeded but changed my mind and used a “garden weasel” and ran it over the worst areas. I was just concerned I might bury the seed using the scarifier again.
On my side yard which didn’t have as much dead grass, I used the scarifier twice, picking up the debris both times, and then seeded. Again I used the garden weasel. My side yard is showing the better overall establishment after 10 days.
On my backyard, I power raked it twice. It is slower germinating. If I had the opportunity to do it again I would have power raked twice and then scarified. I just don’t think the power rake stirred up the soil enough. I did use the garden weasel in spots.
All areas received GreenView Fairway Formula Seeding Success mulch. It spreads real nice with a Scott’s rotary spreader plus it has fertilizer. I used peat moss last year using a peat spreader but this is easier and didn’t have the chunks to contend with.
Hope this helps.
@@doncline6372 thats really great advise, thanks a lot Don.
I agree, scarifier is the way to go, I have both units too. My front yard is 7,500k and I need to break it up so I have enough room in the yard waste can.
I was pulling for the greenworks but you sold me on the sunjoe. Great video
Thank you
Thanks, Jimmy
Great Comparison. Thanks
Nice review. Keep up the good work
That pile at the end is an unbelievable amount of material!
Thanks for the review! And great shirt you're wearing... I love Raising Men Lawncare Service!
Love what Rodney is doing. He's a great person.
I bought the greenworks years back and used it in our front lawn that was struggling. the material it pulled up was insane. turns out we had a front moss, not lawn. very little actual GRASS left after
Excellent video. Thank you!
Great review amigo!
This was great. I had ordered a greenwork so I canceled and ordered a sunjoe! Thanks man!
Cool. I just bought the SunJoe last week.
Good choice!
excellent review...thanks so much
Just bought a Sun Joe - have not yet assembled it. Alternative was the tow behind because we have a large yard (almost an acre) but will take it slow and do it in sections.
Great Video. Thank you for sharing it.
I bought the sunjoe. You are right about the bag I walk 5 steps and had to empty it. But other than that I liked it.
Thanks for the content. House and yard looks great.
Really appreciate the detail in this review of the two units.
That one step - brutal toe stuber. Internet full of know it alls but from my own experience you can cut the slab prior to that low step at crack/joint line and lever it lower and make that step in line with the others for height. If the slab is sunk you can lift with crow bar and blast sand under it using water hose. I have done a couple now and was easier than i expected. See
I prefer the looks of the looks of the greenworks but the sunjoe is more versatile. I had mine for over 2 years and unly recently stopped working. Luckily I had an extended warranty and after emailing them I had a brand new one within 5 days. I bought mine refurbished, including warranty was just slightly over the brand new price. Still get the warranty its super cheap and peace of mind .
Great video, thanks for sharing
I just bought the sunjoe last week and used the scarifier attachment yesterday. Wow could not believe how much thatch this thing pulled out of the yard.
Cant wait to get one
I just purchased the Green Works. Then I watched your video and canceled the order and got the Sun Joe. Thanks.
Glad I could help. Hope you like it.
Jimbo. Epic product review video man. Great work.
Thank you
I got the Greenworks - does exactly what it says it will do. No attachments but comes with a replacement set of tangs(what ever you call them)............. 2 years no problems............. so far so good.
Outstanding video.. Thanks
I bought the sun joe a few months ago, it is awesome
U I 7
You always do a good job with the reviews. Nice comparison. Did not know about the sun Joe before getting my green works. Wish I did.
same thing with me Grace :(
Very useful test 👍. Thanks
you already have a beautiful lawn to start with
Thank you. A beautiful lawn doesn't maintain itself, unfortunately.
Very helpful. Thanks.
Scarifier looks like the real deal! 👍🏼👍🏼
Love my Sun Joe
Beautiful yard ... thank you for doing the perfect video for me ... I was just wondering which one was better for me to purchase. I will definitely be subscribed to your Channel thanks for putting out some awesome info.
Great video!
One trick I learned on my SunJoe is to use a bungee cord to hold the discharge flap up. This allows for a cleaner discharge of the pulled out materials. Good review.
Thank you SoCal, I will try that trick as I get a lot of clumping discharging.
Great minds...I did this too and worked perfectly
I’m very impressed with your sun joe comparison. We mow three acres so do you have a recommendation for a larger implement?
You make good videos. Well done!
Thank you
Very informative......thank you!
nice comparison , bought the Sun Joe 2 yrs ago , do my lawn (10,000 ) aq ft twice a yr , only problem is there are no replacement blades for the Sun Joe , so I would imagine when you wear it out its disposable !
Greenworks works great if you dethatch your lawn in the early spring before it turns green
Thank you for sharing. I was looking for a nice video on these two and you hit it right on the spot. I think the San Joe will be better for me as well since it’s taller and I’m 6’ 2” .
Thank you. I agree with your decision.
Sunjoe makes a great product there’s no denying. I try and buy gas powered equipment only but I’m starting to have a small sunjoe collection lol
thx for doing the review. that was helpful, and great that you spent the time on this. One comment: im a bit leery of trusting the material results because the section closer to your house is more shaded based on your sun angle. this corresponds to the greenworx patch. the sunjoe patch appears to get much more sun and as a result, would probably have more organic buildup over time. so perhaps that is that reason why the sunjoe pulled more stuff. you could go over each section with the opposite dethatcher and see if it pulls more material, but that would be for another day.
Thanks very much. Regarding your theory, the house is west facing and that front yard gets tons of sun all day.
I had a greenworks, when it broke down I bought a sun Joe. Both worked, I prefer the sun Joe, I think it's a bit better personally
have them both
Thanks!
Thank you so much. Appreciate you watching!
A couple of comments - Yes, take the bag off of the SunJoe and let the material that it pulls up with either attachment sit on top of the grass. Then use a rotary mower with a bagger on it to suck up or vacuum up that material.
If you are overseeing then definitely use the SunJoe with the scarifier attachment because not only will it pull up the extra material, but it will act like a slit seeder as you scarily so you will do one pass to pick up dead material then vacuum that material up with a rotary mower. Then do your over seeding and go back over it again with the scarifier to slit seed that grass seed into the ground and give it seed-to-soil contact. Finally, spread your starter fertilizer and water frequently. The SunJoe, in my opinion, is a great machine and well worth the money.
First Aussie 😁. Another great honest review Jimmy 😎👍👍. Another blue sky bird chirping day to film.
Welp, This isn't the first video I've seen going over the SunJoe... but it is the one that convinced me to buy one.
Hey there! Great review. I'm looking to purchase the 15" sunjoe dethatched with scarifier. My question is, what is the main purpose of the scarifier? Why would you scarify over dethatching? Or can you do both, say, in the spring time and maybe end of fall? I would imagine that scarifying would be good for spring time. Could a guy dethatch and then scarify the lawn and overseed every spring? That would be a great way to thicken up a lawn. Thanks for the video!
Still conflicted on which to get. But beautiful lawn, home and community. Americans definitely have great looking neighborhoods.
Digging the shirt. Rodney is good peoples
