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.

[@s.woberts6576]

Good plan. I purchased the 18v model and immediately regretted not getting the corded model since 18v batteries drain in no time. It's asinine that they went through 18v route here.

[@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…

[@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.

[@troutman1951]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@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

[@bretthornsby]

Awesome review! Ryobi is changing the game!

[@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.

[@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!

[@richv70]

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

[@jaymetheaccountant]

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

[@shawnwalker8220]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@mikekano]

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

[@joncastle458]

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

[@kickflip10118]

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

[@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

[@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

Love it. Thanks!

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

[@strickstrick2005]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@ericcomfort6228]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@paulmcneilly7757]

My lawn is jealous of your lawn. I have lived with this lawn for 4 years, always looking for ways to improve it. Browsing today I saw a corded Sun Joe at Amazon. while researching that I saw your comparison of the Sun Joe vs Greenworks (?) and enjoyed it very much. Not too wordy, straight to the point and good visuals. I agreed that I would like a cordless. THEN - WHAT!!? You had a video of one, and a Ryobi at that. I have accumulated Ryobi tools sense they were Blue & Yellow (hurt because I am a MSU fan). Any-who, they fixed that. AND THEN A GIVE-AWAY??!! So here I am entering. Looking forward to more vids - Thanks.

[@stanchickey7590]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

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

[@nickreid9242]

I had no idea about dethatching until your videos. My lawn has never been dethatched and needs work. Lots of dead grass entangled in it. Love the vids and hopefully I get lucky!

[@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

[@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!

[@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 🤣

[@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

[@alucard8336]

Great video! This tool has been on my wish list for two years. I'm about to renovate my lawn and this tool would be a great help.

[@Russianking56]

Thank you for an honest review. Finally have a house and my yard is everything. When I need to get away from screaming kids I go out and do my yard work. Also sometimes have oldest daughter help me when she wants to. I've been looking into picking one of these up, this would be awesome so I don't have to explain to my wife why I need money to but it. Haha

[@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!

[@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.

[@tonymm429]

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

[@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!

[@tomhigbee5308]

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

[@mattv1415]

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

[@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.

[@RobertGeneretteIII]

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

[@dougowens5802]

Looks like a great upgrade for future lawn work!

[@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.

[@jwbowie11]

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

[@kelkev85]

i knew you would give me all the information i needed to make a decision on this, thank you!

[@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!!!!😃

[@sethrichert8872]

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

[@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. 🤪

[@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.

[@jordanandersonhomeloans]

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

[@lebowski009]

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

[@mikerob1404]

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

[@thelawnanalyst7377]

After using the corded SunJoe dethatcher, it would sure be nice to do away with fighting that power cord. Thanks for the quality content!!

[@user-lo9jf6kq2b]

Thanks for the review. Would love a cordless dethatcher for my small yard!

[@HomegrownHowTo]

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

[@vanceriekels7171]

Looks awesome, saw this and immediately knew I had to watch this, I have a never before dethatched yard that I would love to use this on as well and my up and coming teenage lawn mowing business as a add on service to make some extra cash, as always keep up the great videos!

[@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!

[@danellemueller2912]

Great review! I have been holding of purchasing a dethatcher because of the cords. I LOVE the fact that is is cordless!!! Like you said the price is a little steep, so I would definitely need to save my Pennie’s. Especially if we need to invest in a 2nd set of batteries. All in all I would love to win this machine. Thank you for your generosity and to Ryobi!

[@stuartspicer3386]

So cool and thank you for honest review and clarification on description, as to what it should really be called

[@davidson3680]

What a machine would like this De-thatcher for my lawn business could help out with some of those lawns that really need it. Ready for the Win!!

[@kylelowe6625]

Yay for giveaways. I have the greenworks corded dethatcher, but a cordless machine that also comes with the scarifier "cartridge" seems like the best option to go with. Appreciate the honest review and the shoutout to The Lawn Care Nut himself.

[@terryinozland]

I used the Greenworks scarifier for a commercial job. It performed really well for such a large grass area. Bought two batteries but I really need three. Battery won't charge until it cools down and that's an added thirty or forty minutes on top of two hr recharge time. Not the best but fixable with a third battery. Scarified really well after I prepped the grass to 15mm. Now it's already come back beautiful and I love it.

[@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.

[@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.

[@jesseward1493]

Great review Jimmy. Not having to drag the cord around would be amazing. Keep the videos coming!

[@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 👍

[@carrasparks]

The Timemaster is definitely the go to for cleaning up the thatch! I wonder if Ryobi will do a bare tool product for this for $250??

[@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.

[@williamheron3386]

Great review. I’m was very impressed with my ryobi power washer!

[@vuladamsUT]

Wow, that looks solid. I'm stoked it uses the same batteries... it'd be easy to go from dethatching the lawn to sanding down a wood project. 😉 I didn't realize RYOBI was in the game. That's awesome. I would love to use this on my neighbors yard. Gotta share the love with the neighbors. 💕

[@jasongallion784]

Jimmy thanks for the review. I’ve been wanting a cordless dethatcher since they came out. The ryobi looks legit. Appreciate what you do.

[@javiabbi8088]

[@peterscanlon9727]

[@chrisdelapena1123]

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

[@Hawkdoc]

Thanks for the video and look forward to your Ryobi Giveaway. I had a corded Sunjoe dethatcher which worked great until I loaned it out. Seems like Ryobi has an overall strong lineup in the electric tool lineup. Have to admit I've been sitting on the fence to see who's brand actually holds up the best for electric lawn tools

[@mosh265]

It would be great to see this with the 40v Battery

[@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.
