Customer Reviews:

really works [Posted on 2007-09-09]
I questioned whether this would work like in their video. It does, I would say even better than the steel bladed dethatchers I have rented. Although the mantis takes much longer to cover the same amount of lawn.

The biggest problem is the duribilty as the tines bend quite easily.

Works great! [Posted on 2008-03-23]
If you have never dethatched your lawn before, you'll be in for a surprise using this dethatcher. I was surprised at how much "stuff" came out when I dethatched my front lawn the first time. It's a small front lawn, but there was enough material to fill four mower bags!

It is best to do this when the soil is just a little moist, or a little to the dry side. The dethatching wires don't work well in mud! After dethatching, your lawn will be covered by the brown thatch. A lawn mower serves as an effective vacuum cleaner for this. If you haven't dethatched for a while, dethatch again after vacuuming with a mower, and you'll be even more surprised how much stuff you'll get out in the second run!

This attachment is very easy to attach to the tiller and use. Now, I am ordering the aerating kit separately to get the lawn ready for Spring fertilizing/overseeding.

I bought this dethatcher with aerator after I bought the cultivator/tiller. I have been using this dethatcher for over 3 days now. We have a big lawn th e front lawn is at least 100 ft x 40 ft, and more from the 2 sides of the house, back of the house etc... This I used it for a big area. It has performed more than I anticipated, I just have to make several passes because it is a small machine, but performs a grate job. JUst make sure that you put the wheel on the right place, like R on the right side, I made a bubu on mine and I was wandering why I was not able to remove the brown thatch, but when I got it working it was good. I will aerate my lawn tomorrow before I apple my fertilizer. I have collected several bags of nasty brown dry grass and left over dead weeds from last year.
