    • Still going strong after 6 years A very nice tool. Now 7 years.
Style: Cultivator
Review Image by Lightning

But it's not. It can dive into big heavy clods and reduce them to powder in a few passes. Diving into clods won't be a regular thing. The Mantis will mostly be used for cultivation and preparing small beds here and there for annual flowers. The Honda 4-stroke starts very easily. You can't go wrong with Honda. CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN ALMOST 6 YEARS SINCE I BOUGHT THIS THING. It suffers the usuall small-engine neglect...It goes 6 weeks or more sometimes without running....BAD. I was having trouble keeping it running and was about to buy a new carburetor. But I just poured a half bottle of carb cleaner in the gas and now it runs like new. HONDA! It is a great tool.... my garden soil is now perfect and I will cross my fingers and put in more kale, cabbage, etc. Houston! You never know if the weather will turn out winter perfect as it often does. Sept. 20,2025.... Update. The Honda started right up after about 3 months rest. Works just as it didn't I've had it long enough so I don't keep it in the garage like something delicate. It's under a tarp on the back porch. Still starts right up... of course, Honda... So light I can carry it anywhere. Put in the back of the car. In no time it makes the garden look great and makes it just right for planting. And now in March 2020. Same opinion. Starts easily even after sitting idle for a month or two. Does a perfect job of getting new ground ready for beans. The two pictures on the right...only about 20 minutes apart. I'm glad I got it. Time has passed. I like it even more. It's so nice to crank it up and reduce our garden beds to powder in no time. Now and then I hit a brick; it bounds up into the air, comes down and keeps working. No damage. I will have to read up on mantises. Whatever they are they are tough. Started right up after a rest of a few months. Runs just like it did when new. If it starts to run rough or quits on you..... change the fuel filter. They cost very little on Amazon. ... show more

    • The Little Tiller That Can!
Style: Cultivator
I must say I am impressed. Researched many tiller models, some mini and some not-so-mini. Settled on this Mantis after surveying reviews here and elsewhere. What a delightful little machine. The money and time it has saved allowing me to do the project I had paid for itself a couple times over. In spite of its relatively lightweight status (24lbs I think?), it did a surprisingly good job of digging into the heavily compacted dirt and clay in my yard. Doubly so because of roots I asked it to go through, leftover from the four trees we cut down. I do have a few recommendations for getting the most out of it: (1) Make liberal use of the ability to easily reverse the blades back and forth from “cultivating mode” into “tilling mode.” The cultivator mode made a HUGE difference in being able to cut through tree and plant roots without tangling and/or jamming every few seconds. Once the roots and plants are well dealt with, a quick return to the more aggressive tiller mode churns more deeply in very short order. NOTE: this also reduces the amount of bouncing that seemed to irritate some other reviewers. And me. :-) (2) Take your time and let it do its thing. Some want to make a single quick pass and then wonder why it only takes off an inch or so of the hard compacted top layer. Remember that it is, after all, a MINI tiller. Give it a moment, pull it back and forth a few feet to remove some of the dirt pile that builds up under the tines, and it will settle in for the deeper churn right quickly. (3) Get the kickstand. It’s too convenient to skip. (4) I think the real value of this machine (for me, anyhow) lies in its ability to do double-duty. Or quadruple duty, I guess. Treat yourself to the attachments. The power rake, edger, and aerator attachments are fantastically effective additions that really round out the Mantis’s capacity and utility in the yard, turning it into a true year-around workhorse. The attachments have been utterly worth the added expense, and switching between them is an easy and quick affair. My review was not solicited. I am submitting this review only because I am so tickled with it’s performance. The only criticism I can offer so far regards the less than perfect directions for assembly. Some of the nuts did not match what was described or displayed in the directions, and the wording was not entirely intuitive in every instance. Having said that, a little looking at what I had in the box made it clear enough what was needed, and it worked out just fine. The only caution I would have for potential purchasers is the size. This isn’t a critique of the unit itself so much as a cautionary comment to make sure it is what you want. It does a fantastic job for a mini tiller. But it is a mini tiller. My house sits on just shy of 1/3-acre and it takes a long time to work my entire lawn in any mode. If I had more storage room, I’d be wanting their larger model. Especially if my plan were to till the entire yard. Having said that, it does a fantastic job. I am highly impressed that such a small unit can do so much and do it effectively. The amount of time, effort, and money this Mantis has saved me has made me a huge fan. Far better machine than some of the other tillers I have used in the past and I couldn’t be more tickled with my purchase! ... show more

    • Great Mantis Tiller with Honda engine
Style: Cultivator
The Mantis tiller with the Honda engine is just the right size for my hoop house. Honda engines are so reliable and I have several on other equipment. It is lightweight which is good because I am an 80 year old female senior. It is very powerful and compact and tills great. I only have to have it powered up a little for it to do a great job. I assembled it just fine except they had given me American nuts for 2 Metric bolts. I had a hard time putting the nuts on but soon discovered why and was able to purchase a couple Metric bolts with Metric nuts. Everything went on according to the directions. I emailed Mantis about that problem and they responded immediately telling me they would send the hardware but I had already purchased the correct hardware so didn't need it. Great customer relations. ... show more
