The Greenworks 40V 14in Cordless Dethatcher / Scarifier is a lawn care tool that you're going to want to consider this year. It's a bold statement, I know, but after recently moving into a (total) reno with a yard in a similar state of affairs, its capabilities became clear after the first use.
As with the best lawn mowers and electric lawn mowers at that, I tried out all the available (and possible) features on the Greenworks 40V 14in Cordless Dethatcher / Scarifier for a few turns around our yard. From the delivery and set-up to dethatching and scarifying, this yard tool was put through its paces. I liked that it wasn't corded or gas-powered and how easy it was to use. The collector bag quickly filled, though, which became a nuisance since I had to keep stopping and starting to empty it. It's not the most robust lawn tool I've used, either, with a flimsy handlebar and small wheels.
