RYOBI 18V Cordless DeThatcher / Aerator
Available at Home Depot in about 2 weeks.
I was not paid for this review unless you consider an overnight stay at the Springhill Suites and some finger food being paid.
I did get first look and access to RYOBI's newest tools and that's nothing but fun for me and sometimes, believe it or not, I like to be paid in fun.

@sslnight 2 года назад

Thanks for the first look. I’m looking forward to your review as i have been waiting for this for a long time. Your comments are in line with what ryobi told me two weeks ago that it was coming this spring. I really wish this was 40v though. I know Dad it yourself DIY was going to try to convert this to 40v so I’m hoping he gets this done. In any case thanks for all of the great lawn videos. I look forward to transforming my lawn hopefully over the next year. :)

@markymarkvancity 2 года назад

I bought a sunjoe for $120 CAD 4 years ago and love it. I use it every year in Vancouver, BC as for some reason our grass here grows like crazy in spring and summer and ends up choking itself off. It is also a perfect preparation tool for overseeding/reseeding I really don't see why you wouldn't use it once a year in the spring before you overseed.

@kennyconnolly9648 2 года назад

I live in wimauma and already through down 7-0-20 3 weeks before freeze and followed up with alittle iron 2 weeks later and the day before the freeze i did a deep watering .. I started using the 7 -0-20 last summer and my lawn took off and hasn't missed a beat thanks to you my lawn has dominated well over 100 houses right now in my neighborhood this winter....👍

@jeffreymckenney6415 2 года назад

The Ryobi 18v equipment works well. I've had an edger and most of their small tools for years and love them. I recently purchased one of their 40v multi-speed blowers and haven't fired up my old gas blower since. I highly recommend all their products to anyone that is going to use the equipment around their house.

@viper2148 2 года назад

ha Ha, I just charged the batteries up and I’ll be trying out my new Ryobi 40v self-propelled 3 in 1 mower today. So far dittos on the recommendation.

@neogator26 2 года назад

Awesome! All my tools are Ryobi from my hand tools, all my lawn care up to my electric riding mower. I love them and most were bought second hand returned products. As a plus they are all charged off of the solar panels on my shed so my cost of operation is $0.

@FounderOf4 Год назад

I love my Ryobi tools and came here for an honest review, I appreciate your input. My issue is that I just went to buy one and these are running $459 as of March 2023. I going to rethink purchasing Ryobi and see about something in the $150 range. Again, thanks for the content!

@rickwithturftyme7264 2 года назад

Bought one over Christmas and had it shipped from the UK. Still in the box as Im in the transition zone and no use just yet but excited to give it a go being 99% of my tools are 18v and 40v Ryobi. I talked to a guy that has one here in the states trying to convert it into a 40v scarifier/dethatcher via a 3D print adapter. Not sure how that works but regardless will be fun to see how it holds up and not having to drag around a cord like on the SunJoe.

@mocobb4791 2 года назад

LCN, thanks for the review. Ryobi has had this as "coming soon" for almost a year, this was supposed to be my birthday(Nov) and Christmasgift from my wife, obviously that didn't happen. I have over 30 18v ryobi power tools and about 5 40v tools. I don't need anymore 18v batteries, I wish they sold it as bare tool only and offered a 40v version. Thanks again.

@hassenfepher 2 года назад

my first thought is "how do those tines treat stolins". Secondly, "how small can this tool get?" it looks like it folds up a bit smaller than a mower, and being such an infrequent tool, storage would become important IMO.

@viper2148 2 года назад

Ryobi makes quality/value tools for non-professionals. They are not peers with Dewalt, Milwaukee, or Makita. I am fully invested in the Ryobi universe and completely satisfied (great deals at Home Depot in April/May). That said, I’m scratching my head as to why Ryobi didn’t go straight to 40v with this product.

@ChrisGovert 2 года назад

Ok uploaded 9 days ago... The statement of "the next couple of weeks" is still valid but I've been waiting for this forever! As mentioned several times below it should have come out in the 40 volt lineup.

@yycguy8722 2 года назад

Another great video 👍 I asked Ego over 3 years ago to get into this space making a quality battery 🔋 powered lawn de thatcher, nothing seems to be in the works. Do you have any contacts at Ego you can ask to inquire if they might finally create a lawn de thatcher like this Ryobi? I have invested a lot of money into Ego equipment already, this would be the next piece of equipment I could really use in my lineup.

@markhughes1587 2 года назад

If I were to buy this, it would be using it to overseed my lawn, so, I would want it to be able to settle the seeds down into the base of the grass and 1/4 in into the dirt. Do you this this tool would be effective for that.

@mattfrekwentflier8342 2 года назад

For something you might use 1/year, I think it's better to just get a corded Sun Joe dethatcher. The cord really isn't that much of a hassle. However, I agree if you already have that line of tools and want some extra batteries, this is an easy way to get them.

@wcbscout 2 года назад

I agree, partially, however I must emphasize how much I hate the cord

@THRILLHOUSEV 2 года назад

I am in the same boat. I have an absurd amount of Ryobi 18V tools, but a corded dethatcher is completely maintenance free and it isn't worth a couple hundred bucks to have a slightly more convenient experience for an hour a year.

@kenbred46 2 года назад

Here's a question about dethatchers. Everyone says don't dethatch a St Augustine lawn. And I can see why when it's in full growth. BUT, can dethatching be done when the grass is in the winter dormant stage? With all the heavy clippings that end up on the ground from summer mowing, would dormant season dethatching tear up the stolon's too much?

@troyhenry3267 4 месяца назад

Allyn, would the cordless version do me just fine if my front lawn is only around 2000 sq feet ? and my back yard is around this size. Do you think the cordless would do me or the corded ? Thoughts?

@brookekathryn1980 2 года назад

I bought a green work one about 3 years ago. Works great. Wish I got the sun joe at the time. Really annoyed at dragging around a cord! Also annoying that it doesn't have a bag or scarifier! Guess I'm switching!

@stephanie09.11 2 года назад

Green Works has a cordless. I also use my lawnmower and go back and mow my lawn to pick up the thatch.

@brookekathryn1980 2 года назад

@@stephanie09.11 I do the same. It's just bag after bag when I do it every 3-4 years. Would be nice to have a bag on it, to collect, then now to clean up the rest. The battery unit doesn't come with a scarier and by the time I invest in a battery and charger, I might as well just get the Ryobi as I already have their tools for my house. Might work great for someone else, just not a great investment for me. I don't need a battery sitting around for 3-4 years that never gets used. I already have to deal with that being as the only EGO product I have is a snowblower and it drives me nuts only using the batteries in winter...lol

@sj7601 2 года назад
