Greenworks 14-Inch 10 Amp Corded Dethatcher
The Greenworks 14-Inch 10 Amp corded dethatcher earns a best-in-class spot for homeowners who want a balance of motor torque, a practical 14-inch working width, and a competitive price. Compared with smaller 13-inch models like the Sun Joe and Earthwise, it delivers noticeably stronger dethatching performance while remaining far more affordable and portable than tow-behind commercial options such as the Agri-Fab. Its combination of reliable electric power and mid-range coverage makes it the go-to choice for small-to-medium lawns where cost-effectiveness and durability matter.

It undercuts more powerful models on price while providing acceptable performance for low-to-moderate thatch conditions.

Yardworks 15-Inch Electric Dethatcher
The Yardworks 15-Inch electric dethatcher is positioned as the value-minded mid-size performer, offering a slightly wider coverage than most consumer electrics to reduce runtime on mid-sized properties. Technically it provides faster job completion than 13–14 inch models like Sun Joe and Greenworks without the steep purchase and maintenance costs of a tow-behind Agri-Fab, making it a financially smart choice for homeowners who want greater efficiency without moving to commercial equipment. Its balance of width, ease-of-use, and price makes it the practical pick for moderate lawns.

Review Summary
"Owners report the Yardworks 15-Inch electric dethatcher covers more ground and performs well on thinner thatch, but extended use reveals a less robust build than pro units with tines and wheels showing wear with frequent heavy jobs."

Earthwise DT71613 13-Inch Electric Dethatcher
The Earthwise DT71613 13-Inch electric dethatcher emphasizes a lightweight, corrosion-resistant design for homeowners who prioritize ease of handling and longevity in damp climates. Though it offers similar coverage to the Sun Joe, Earthwise often differentiates itself with quieter operation and rust-resistant tines that reduce lifecycle costs compared with less-protected competitors, even if it sacrifices some power versus the Greenworks and Yardworks models. It's a good fit for small lawns and users seeking low-maintenance, environmentally conscious features.

Agri-Fab 45-0294 48-Inch Tow Dethatcher
The Agri-Fab 45-0294 48-Inch tow dethatcher is the market leader for large properties and professional users, delivering unmatched efficiency through its wide 48-inch coverage and heavy-duty steel construction. Though it carries a higher initial investment and requires a lawn tractor to tow, its per-hour productivity and adjustable depth controls make it far more cost-effective for big lawns than repeated passes with consumer electrics like Greenworks or Yardworks. For anyone managing acreage or offering lawn services, Agri-Fab’s mechanical reliability and scale trump smaller electric units.
