Ryobi One+ Battery Powered Dethatcher Review

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Giveaway is closed! Thanks to all who have entered. I will have a video out asap announcing the winner!

[@richardefriend]

I think I'll wait until Ryobi wakes up and does this for their 40V platform (and comes without batteries, since I already own their 21" 40V mower with PLENTY of extra batteries). AND gets more realistic on pricing.

[@largelysubatomic]

They really need to offer a tool-only version for all of us who have tons of Ryobi batteries already. They sold this in the UK for like a year before it was available in the US and on UK Amazon you can buy it as tool only for like $220 (but to get it in the US you'd have to pay $100 shipping)

[@djbille4283]

I agree!!! As I have a dozen or so of the 4ah and 6ah high performance batteries…

[@troutman1951]

Ryobi has done it again, way to understand your customer’s needs. Losing the cord is huge, wireless dethatching for the win!

[@lawnguy]

Thank you for the opportunity, Jimmy. This would be perfect; Because I help a couple of my neighbors with their lawns out here in tooele and lugging around extension cords is the worst. Great review. Good luck to everyone that enters.

Am I the only one getting spammy comments? Can jimmy delete these people?

[@JimmyLewisMows]

@@ikwhite I'm not seeing any of these comments on my end. If you could email me a screen shot or something I can do a little more digging and delete them. Thanks.

[@DPRocks100]

I like seeing a well established company bring out more tools for battery ecosystems I already own. Can't wait to see what else Ryobi brings to market!

[@gamble1080]

Great review, steep price point! Learned a ton from your videos and have always wanted to try dethatching. Thank Jimmy, maybe I'll get lucky!

[@chrisryan8863]

Having cordless dethatcher is so much more convenient than using extension cords. I agree it is a bit expensive. It looks like batteries run about $79 or higher for the high performance ones. I appreciate your channel Jimmy and your gentle demeanor. Blessings to you.

[@jakebosquez4060]

Great review & video! Bottom line is I have never dethatched my yard & I think this machine could take it to the next level. My wife doubts this can make any difference, help me prove her wrong! Also, I have to keep up with the retired folks in my neighborhood, domination time! Thanks for all of the informational videos.

[@shawnwalker8220]

Dragging the chord around has been on of the main things keeping me from "pulling the plug" on one of these. Awesome!

[@cdelvonp]

Hi Jimmy, 16 year vet here; I've been following Allen and your channel for awhile now, and my lawn has really been looking great the past 2 years. However, this spring I had a really bad outbreak of Red Thread, initially thought it was just a small area that hadn't come out of winter dormancy. Anyway, went back through Allen's vidz and that's how I figured it out. But it had spread to 75% of my turf; I used Allen's suggestion (diseasex/propaconazol/nitrogen/mow & bag), saved most of it, it looks good but I suffered lots of damage. Would love this to pull up the dead stuff and overseed this fall. Thanks for the content and help you provide to us DIYers. And I do have the pics before, during and after infection

[@CurtisGauger]

I have been waiting for this to come to the US for a while. I was a bit disappointed by the price point, considering its more than twice the price of higher rated (so far) corded competitors. Thanks for showing it on a real lawn. Keep up the good work.

[@joncastle458]

Thank you for your honest opinion! This item looks super awesome to help improve my lawn.

[@ericcomfort6228]

I was very excited to get one too. Until the price went up to $429. Crazy

[@nland]

I think one of the best parts is that you do not have a power cord following you around the yard. Would love to have this another tool in my lawn equipment lineup!

[@myyardtherapy]

I'm a new homeowner and DIYer. I've been slowly building up my Ryobi arsenal, and was excited to see that they included a dethatcher to its list of products AND it's cordless. It'd really help me step up my lawn game!

[@mikerob1404]

Never had a dethatcher to use on my front lawn but this would be ideal for my bermuda grass lawn.

[@raymondbohn2852]

As a 76 yea old disabled Vet living in a very rural area that does not provide lawn services, this would make me very happy and definitely improve the condition of my neglected lawn.

[@richv70]

Looks great, I’ve been looking at these and this looks like the best option for me, thanks for the chance!

[@deek1906]

Just watched this video. I currently have a SunJoe dethatcher/scarifier. Your video using the SunJoe was one of the reasons I chose to buy it. My yard, however, is about 3800 square feet of grass. Towing a cord along with my SunJoe is a bit cumbersome, so getting one of these Ryobi systems would be great. I love the SunJoe, so I definitely trust your review. Love the videos. Keep up the good work.

[@willparis2570]

This ryobi dethatcher seems to be amazing!!!!! You don’t have to drag 100’ of cord around anymore. And looks like does a amazing job. While still being well made and versatile with all the other tools in their line up. I would love to have a chance to get my hands on this. I have been trying to overhaul my yard, dads, and father in-lawns. All at the same time I went to school for nursery/landscape maintenance and currently am working a Vanderbilt legends golf course as head horticulturist. Getting this would allow me to dethatch the clubhouse while still being quite to allow water, oxygen, nutrients down to the roots. Also be able to get seed down to the soil!!!!! Ha maybe this will be the game changer to have the leg up on my neighbor 3 doors down that I compete with!!!!😃

[@brelandpowell2158]

I've been looking for a dethactcher and doing some research. I was originally looking into Greenworks and SunJoe. Added both to my amazon cart at one point and couldn't pull the trigger on either. I then watched your video on the comparison and decided SunJoe was the way to go BUT I didn't want to mess with cords so was looking for information on battery life with the SunJoe dethatcher. That's when I came across this video and was instantly SOLD! Like many others out there I am already invested in the Ryobi 18V system and already have multiple tools and batteries for this. Ryobi is the clear cut answer for me on this. A chance to win one in your giveaway would be amazing, especially given the cost difference between the Ryobi and the competitors mentioned above.

[@jordanrockwell5873]

This looks like a cool piece of equipment and I have other Ryobi tools so this would fit in nicely in my lawn care program.

[@ImagingPro]

Would love to get this model. Thanks for taking time to review for us Jimmy

[@tonymm429]

Hey Jimmy Great Videos Ive learned alot from them this past year and this Machine would work Great for my Lawn.

[@wgsmokeNstripes]

I’ve been waiting for this one! As I’ve been super stoked ever since the reveal at the sneak peek in Alyn’s video. My only negative is that they didn’t make it for the 40V lineup yet.

[@kickflip10118]

Thanks for the review, Jimmy. This will fit in awesome in my existing Ryobi tool set!

[@frankieb8974]

My parents need one for cutting their grass tall. I used the corded one, but they can benefit from doing it consistently from winter kill.

[@tomhigbee5308]

Cordless is the only way to go. I would love to win this, My lawn desperately needs dethatching, Thanks for the giveaway, Tom

[@DavidHallCid84]

Great to see your channel continue to grow... watching for years now and couldn't wait for spring to start and the increase in you content... This is definitely on my wish list for this year. It's year 3 after my complete renovation and time to take it to the next step. Thanks again!!!

[@bretthornsby]

Awesome review! Ryobi is changing the game!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

I'd love to have one mostly because the giveaway closes on my birthday. That would be an awesome present. Great review Jimmy. 👍🏼

[@JABoyle3875]

Picked up one of these after seeing this. Have done two passes….5 stuffed 50 gallon trash bags of stuff removed from my yard. Wish it had a tool only option but still worth it.

[@mattv1415]

The freedom of no cord would be awesome. Looks like it works great .

[@MidnightRunISF]

I’m a first time homeowner and this will be my first full season with my Bermuda lawn. Love your content. I’ve already gone battery powered with an ego mower, blower, and multi tool. Cordless de-thatching and scarifying looks awesome but the price point definitely seems HIGH.

[@1hotsocalguy]

ryobi has come a long way i agree with your comments on the tool price is way too hi but no cord is nice great job jimmy

[@jwbowie11]

Looks like a great unit. Was a bit shocked when I saw what retail was compared to the other brands in the market.

[@strickstrick2005]

Ryobi has been improving on expanding into a broader market. Good stuff here

[@jaymetheaccountant]

Supreme giveaway Jimmy! Looks like a good little unit, and I'm set for the One Plus batteries. Thanks for the content!!

[@carolus_calvus5064]

My yard needs a lot of love after buying my house last year and guessing it wasn't taken care of in the last 8 to 10 years. It needs a good cleaning and without a cord this dethatcher would be a great tool.

[@stanchickey7590]

Hey Jimmy, great review and it looks like it does an excellent job!

[@Jdid-kc9zs]

Appreciate what you do! I have a lot of work ahead of me to restore my lawn. I already have multiple Ryobi one + tools and I'll definitely be in the market for one. Good luck to all!

[@pak7man]

Just bought a new house and it needs a lot of work to get the lawn into good shape... this will help big time!

[@mikest.germain5223]

Awesome review! I’m a ryobi guy and have been anxiously anticipating this coming out. Definitely heftier price tag than I hoped, but would love to have the flexibility of the batteries to use on my lawn!

[@ingopintos]

I love your content, this is a great option for my project and i will like to have it. Will like to see the comparison between ryobi vs the sunjoe.

[@sethrichert8872]

This would be a great addition! Been waiting for a cordless version

[@natemanning4569]

I would LOVE this. We just remodeled our new home, and I have started on the landscaping. There is years of neglected dethatching and this is a much needed tool so I don’t have to manually dethatch it with my dethatching rake! Let’s gooooooo!

[@fluong821]

Great review. Would love for my lawn as its a 1 1/2 year old lawn that hasnt been dethatched yet! This would be perfect for my ~1600 sq ft lawn

[@ambitiouslawn1678]

Tried a dethatcher machine from a family member for the first time last year and was impressed with the results, I definitely need to add to my arsenal! Great video!

[@scottmulder5104]

I like it! I have a corded one from another brand (which works awesome ) I call it "Martha Thatcher". That price point is pretty steep tho, considering one can get 4ah batteries for $99 during Ryobi days at the Depot

[@siyannyneren3039]

Great review! I’ve been detaching with a manual detacher & it’s hard work. I considered buying a cordless one, but the price point is a bit high for me . This will definitely be on my Mother’s Day wish list. 🤪

[@phillipriordan5043]

I’ve been looking forward to this tool for almost 2 years. Even at the $400 price point it is still cheaper than renting one every other year.

[@lebowski009]

I am planning a complete renovation of my front lawn this fall, so I think this dethatcher could really help things out.

[@mikekano]

This would make a great father's day present. Your videos are helping me fix my ugly lawn. Thank you.

[@markg3726]

Tool seems awesome on the initial impression. I am on year one of trying to rehab and renovate our lawn. The Ryobi dethatcher tool would come in super handy this fall when I do my over seed project.

[@jordanandersonhomeloans]

I’m on a journey to have the perfect lawn, and this tool will help me get there

[@TheBandit93]

Awesome review I'm really considering getting one now that I watched your video. I really like what your favorite part is about it... it is battery powered cordless is a big deal to me. I can't stand dragging the cord with me through the lawn. Great video I like that you appreciate and take care of your lawn super nicely I watch your videos and take notes I want my lawn to look nice as well. Take care 👍

[@jes7842]

NO CORD!!!! Absolutely yes please! Enjoy your content Jimmy, keep it up!

[@nick4123]

My oh my I would love to win this. Thank you for providing a thorough review. I’m new to the channel and just subscribed after seeing this. Even if I don’t win, I’ll probably look into picking one up at some point.

[@vitaliyyurchenko241]

Awesome giveaway! Would love to get this dethatcher! Using a manual dethatcher right now and it is a pain lol

[@engrxtn]

I would love that tool…my wife and me are beginners lawn geeks!! My new perennial ryegrass is dying from grass clippings. If I’m not mistaken last year the same tool was introduced in Europe for less than $200. $400 is very steep. Maybe the right price should be $259 to $299.

[@juraterfan]

I have a sunjoe dethatcher and as much as I love the sunjoe, I’m heavily into Ryobi line and this would be a great addition! I hope they come up with a 40v version too

[@fudhater8592]

The 2 18v batteries are effectively 40v, in fact if you put a voltmeter on them in series you'll get about 39v

[@TheMontanaSides]

Great review! Would love to have this to help me get my yard whipped into shape

[@joenobles1086]

I've been waiting for that to come out but $429. I can't see paying that much even though I have alot of Ryobi tools and yard stuff thanks for the sharing and post

[@standavis7266]

Ryobi for the win. Looks like a great tool to add to the lawn care arsenal.

[@carlosnieto949]

I’ve used the Ryobi corded dethatcher before and it’s worked great. Obviously, a battery powered one would be even better as to not have the hassle of the cord management. Great video!

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

I'm neck deep in the Ryobi One+ ecosystem, fully committed, so of course this is going to come out a year after I buy a SunJoe. Then again, the SunJoe was a third the price. Guess I can deal with an extension cord twice a year. LOL

[@mattw2701]

After using the SunJoe for the first time a few weeks ago, I realize how much a battery powered one is necessary. Would love to try this one and already have a pretty good amount of Ryobi tools as well. Great review!

[@tylerhowell4350]

Great review of this! I wish that they had it in the 40v

[@Kairi-16]

Omg my husband is a Ryobi freak and he would love this! We are first time home buyers of 2 years now and our lawn is in desperate need of dethatching. Thank you for doing this giveaway!

[@stevenmiller3330]

Great review, looks like it could be a good tool to have!

[@robs.8629]

Looks like a great product.

[@zacharyashton665]

I am the owner of a small landscaping business. We started in 2020. This would be an awesome tool to switch out our sunjoe dethatcher

[@hackerengineering9266]

I hardly ever comment on videos, but I enjoyed your software engineer comment. Gotta love starting at 0 and ending at N-1. Also, great content; keep it up!

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Love it. Thanks!

[@bradwarmuskerken5687]

I have used a similar product, but corded. The cordless option the Ryobi product affords would be a game changer

[@natecarmen7515]

This is JUST what my lawn needs!!!

[@HomegrownHowTo]

Nice video! Great review- looks to be a solid unit! This would tank through my yard, which is needed!

[@DanKauk1979]

I would love to add one of these to my lawn tools. I loved using the corded version and not dragging a cord around would be amazing!

[@user-ht1vh6tq3h]

I was searching battery operated dethatchers before the video was even over lol I'd love the chance to own this. I agree with a lot of comments that the proce tag is just too hefty but jts a great tool that I'd love to try before I reseed my lawn.

[@jmax5105]

Man... cordless would be SOOO much nicer than having a cord to manage every single pass! Thanks for the review! Now if I could just get my lawn to look nice! lol Pretty sure I have a re-seed project in my future as well. I HATE my lawn and sprinkler system the way it is!

[@tungsten7436]

This looks like a great product. Would love to own one.

[@RobertGeneretteIII]

Nice. I never used a dethatcher but based on your video review, Ryobi makes it look simple and easy.

[@chrisdelapena1123]

Ryobi Detatcher and scarifier looks solid. Thanks for the opportunity to win one.

[@Asutunester]

Great to see a cordless option, I wonder if they'll offer a tool only option for Ryobi fanatics. or maybe switching to the 40v option for extended use

[@maximumresultsfitness]

Thanks for the awesome videos. This looks like a great dethatcher. Better than the pull behind one I had to use. Hopefully I'll get lucky. Trying to make the yard look like yours.

[@smdotterer]

Ryobi is really stepping their game up!

[@nateboogie5747]

Ryobi One+ Battery line of tools and equipment is a game-changer. I can use the same battery to power my other Ryobi tools….Whaa. Sign me up! Thanks for the review and keep posting.

[@Ricardovdiez]

I have been a Ryobi tool fan for a while now and now started to switch my lawn tools from gas to electric. This would be a great addition to my collection. I have recently gotten into and really enjoyed lawn care. I have lived in my home (new build) since June 1st 2018 and have never dethatched but something I’m looking forward to. Great content and awesome giveaway.

[@bmk418]

Awesome review, just started following you recently for yard advice. I would love this for my front yard. Back yard is too big for this size. i use a JD rider with pull behind on back yard.

[@jkmartin127]

Thanks for the video. I've experienced the pain that comes from lugging a cord around with lawn tools and would love to be able to dethatch and scarify without worrying about running over the cord!

[@timdial1891]

I’m needing Toro engineers to work double time to expand their 60v line to include a dethatcher & aerator before I invest in another system for those. It would be cool to see Toro include a rotary scissor attachment with their power head and a 60v reel mower!

[@kaileyirwin4013]

Thanks for the review. Glad to see more companies are making these machines. I love them so much. What's up with the pink flamingo? All you lawn KZbinrs have them, but what do they represent? Some sort of secret combination?

[@bobzilla6618]

The flamingos have hidden powers. I have them in my yard too 🤣

[@matthewmueller4776]

Looks like a great product - would really help cut out the dead stuff (and hopefully some of the WEEDS!) from my tall fescue(ish) lawn and revitalize it. Thanks for review this - price point seems reasonable considering cost of batteries these days. Great video - professional and always nice to watch from start to finish. Thanks for sharing all the great knowledge and experience.

[@robbiegolding1831]

I'd love this for the cordless feature. I have tons of Ryobi tools both hand tool line and the trimmer/edger and blower so this would be a great addition

[@Irishtwinbeads282]

I have been looking at this unit for a while. I love Ryobi equipment. This would be a big replacement for having to rent a unit or pay a landscaper to do the spring and fall cleanup only.

[@gtjman1]

Jimmy! Nice video. Good call on the verbiage. I had the pleasure of visiting the TTI facility in Anderson, SC for my job this past week and got to test this thing out and gave them the same feedback on using “aerator” as I do not find this to be the primary function of this machine.

[@niccirose4481]

Something like this would really help me out in getting my lawn in shape. $400 is more than what I would spend on lawn equipment that gets used 2-3 times a season. But its definitely easier than using a rake!

[@KA47CT]

Too bad they’re not offering this as a bare tool. It could help the price point for people already in the battery platform or have access to it. I could definitely use it though. Bought our house last year, and lawn was neglected for decades it seems.

[@alejandramavillatoro3709]

Thank you for the great review. I have been (over) thinking in dethatching my garden and this tool would help me a lot since I have tried to do it manually, but as you may imagine, it´s hard work. Cordless and good quality seems to be the right investment for an outdoor tool. I have seen your previous dethatching videos and i really enjoy the nice grass you keep. Regards!
