FEATURES
- INSTANT START: Pushing a button and starting right away is possibly what we look for in most of the mobile products that we are planning to purchase, right? So, you need not worry about starting this SUN JOE AJ801E 12.6-INCH ELECTRIC SCARIFIER + LAWN DETHATCHER as it is just a matter of pressing a button now. No more pulling the starter cord, no more gas involved, no more smelly exhaust and no more mess around. Great deal, isn’t it?
- POWERFUL MOTOR: Performance is linked to how powerful the motor is at least to some extent. With that being said, this product from “Sun Joe” comes with a robust 12A motor that does the job exactly the way you’ve dreamt of since long now.
- TINES: Tines play a very important role when the area of target is your lawn / garden. Good quality tines ensure better results, without a doubt. SUN JOE AJ801E 12.6-INCH ELECTRIC SCARIFIER + LAWN DETHATCHER has 24 tines made of good quality stainless steel providing you with the best possible results.
- DEPTH ADJUSTABILITY: What better than being able to adjust the raking depth as per the requirement? Yes, this is where this product from Sun Joe scores a point. One can now make use of a 5-position depth control knob to tailor the raking depth from -0.4 inches (10 mm below the soil) to 0.4 inches (10 mm above the soil) all depending on the dethatching and / or scarifying needs of your lawn.
- AIR BOOST TECHNOLOGY: This product comes with an “air boost technology” that helps in maximizing the thatch pickup using spring steel tines that stay sharp longer for a better performance.
- SCARIFYING AND DETHATCHING: Scarifying your lawn at regular intervals cuts the grass roots thereby encouraging thicker and a healthier turf. Thatch is a dense layer of roots, stems and grass clippings that accumulates on lawns over a period of time. Removing this periodically is important as the thatch might lead to blocking water, oxygen and other vital nutrients to seep into the grass. And when you have a product like “SUN JOE AJ801E 12.6-INCH ELECTRIC SCARIFIER + LAWN DETHATCHER” that does both these tasks, then what more can you ask for?
- WARRANTY: The warranty period for this product is 2 years. You can download user manual from here.
