  • Exceeded my expectations! So powerful, and such a great value!
Size: Corded; 16 inch, 12 amp
After a week of shoveling, and attempting to prepare a 30 ft. long area along my fence, and several other areas for fall planting (in very hard, dry, California clay soil where nothing grows well), I realized I needed help. What I used to be able to do when I was younger, had gotten a bit harder. I had previously seen a demo of another model of the Sun Joe advertised on QVC, and thought it looked to good to be true. They were tilling soft soil. But, I desperately needed help and hiring someone to help didn't fit my budget. I decided to do some research on different Sun Joe models and found this one to have very good ratings on Amazon, and the price was amazing, especially if it did what everyone said. Long story short, I ordered it Saturday, and it was delivered Monday. I unpacked it this morning and it took only 15 minutes to assemble. I have already used it to till along the fence and I was amazed! It honestly does a great job, even in my bad soil. That said, I'm thankful for the previous reviews and advice to water the dryer areas ahead time in preparation. That turned out to be perfect as I just spent an hour tilling, and the soil that I wet down a couple of days tilled with no problem. The hard dry soil did not. It threw the tiller. I'm watering the dry areas now, and will try again in a couple of days. This 59 year old woman is very happy! I was able to carry the Sun Joe in its box, as delivered, into my house, assemble it, adjust the wheels, carry it out back, attach the extension cord, and start tilling within an hour. It started up easily, and really dug through the soil. I can't wait for my soil amendments to be delivered tomorrow so I can use the Sun Joe to work them in and get planting. Thanks Amazon and all of you who posted your ratings and comments. You saved me weeks of hard work! ... show more

  • Nice tiller for price
Size: Corded; 16 inch, 12 amp
Background: Let me start by stating I have never used a roto-tiller before so I do not have anything to compare it to. I purchased this item because I needed to reseed a 50 x 50 area of my lawn that had been taken over by crabgrass. After working a short time with a rake I decided to purchase a roto-tiller to do the job. I typically am one that likes gas operated equipment and high end equipment. however being that I was only going to use it infrequently I felt a gas operated tiller may not be best because of long term non-use. After reading reviews of several I decided to purchase this unit. Review: First, because of the current rating (12 amps) I purchased a 12/3 extension cord with unit. Most extension cords will not handle the current for this device. I would highly recommend you do same. The unit comes in 3 pieces and assembles quickly. The weight of unit is manageable and should not present issue with most users. To start with I would like to say I was quite impressed. Although my yard is not very rocky it made short work of cutting thru the weeds and hard packed soil. I started with the adjustment at the greatest depth and quickly realized it was to much. The unit easily dug a hole and buried itself. After readjustment I found a setting that dug a depth to about 4 to 6 inches. The unit was very manageable at this depth. Deeper depths require more effort to get thru the "mounded" soil it creates. When the unit did encounter rocks it easily pulled it them out. Several where in the 4"-5" range. I would estimate that it took about 45 to 60 minutes to do the 50' x 50' area. I did not work continuously, I stopped on occasion to allow the unit to cool and rake to the area previously done. I allowed the unit to cool only because of others comments that they "burnt" out there unit. Quite honestly I think it would have been fine to do this entire area without stopping. However I should note that long weeds/grass do wrap around the shaft. You should clear them occasional (see attached video) to keep them from cutting into the transmission seal and/or binding the unit up. I suspect this may have been the cause of the previously mentioned reports of units burning up. I would also add others suggested using hose clamps at the handle connections to make the unit more rigid. I tightened my handles with a wrench and found this not to be necessary. I gave it five stars not to indicate its the best tiller ever just that it performed at or better than expected/advertised. ... show more

  • Freaking awesome!
Size: Corded; 16 inch, 12 amp
So, up until a week ago we had the gigantic heavy-as-a-car gas tiller. Then, my husband forgot to check the oil, and started tilling. Made it about 5 feet. No oil, no motor. Since we live in the middle of nowhere, we can’t just trot down to a store and get another, plus, the cost of the new one is hella expensive! I found this one on Lowes web site, and it had a 4.8 out of 5 rating. On a lark I checked Amazon, and it was $95. $65 cheaper! The reviews were pretty good. Why not? It arrived yesterday, a day early, and my husband spent about 15 minutes putting it together. He said it was super easy. Today he brought it out to the garden, and said “go for it”. The safety button took a few tries to figure out perfectly. But now, I know to push it in, and you can feel it slide in. This thing does a fabulous job! Way better than we expected, even after reading reviews. Our garden wasn’t tilled last fall, and we drove over it hauling wood into our woodshed, all fall. We parked two boats on it through the winter, so it was pretty compacted. After the second pass with the tiller, it seems as good as the gas tillers job. It’s light, and easy to turn and handle. You can just lift it up if you need to. I’m more than a little impressed. My husbands health has gone to hell over the last couple of years, and he isn’t able to do the things around the house. So I’ve been doing them. No way could I use the gas tiller well, but I have complete confidence in this one! I’m highly impressed. I would buy again, and will be recommending it to others ... show more

  • Great for small projects
Size: Corded; 16 inch, 12 amp
Arrived in original packaging that indicated what product was inside. Not a big deal because we live in gated community. Tiller was easy to put together. Approximately 5 minutes. Sturdy frame. Bolts will prolly need to be retightened over time. My history is using a gas self propelled tiller and a rotary tiller on a tractor. I was hesitant about buying a electric tiller. I need something small for a garden and flower beds. This tiller is light weight. That is great for portability/ storage. Negative if you plan to get deep into the ground. It is still possible with a little extra time and having the ground moist. The tiller is better used by pulling backwards. Going forward doesn’t operate as well. Luckily the tiller is light weight and easily pulled. Broke up a previous flower bed nicely. Completely the job above expectations. Be mindful of the cord, a learning curve if you’ve only used gas tillers. Roots of previous plants did twist into tiller. That will happen with all tillers. That did not affect performance or slow motor. I would recommend this product for small projects near access to electric. ... show more

  • Mows through tough grass!
Size: Corded; 16 inch, 12 amp
I wanted to build a patio with pavers, but we had to remove our tough grass first. We tried with the ole' shovel and edging tool, but our bodies are not in our twenties anymore, and after thirty minutes of trying to shovel through grass roots I was done. I found this electric tiller, and we have the Sun Joe brand leaf blower that is still kicking after a couple years, so we went with this brand. My husband assembled it, so I cant say how in depth the assembly was. I will say, I was in the house, and went outside, and that's when I realized he had already put it together and was halfway done. I never once heard this from inside my house. Now, I've seen tons of people review this for their gardens, but I needed it to be a sod remover. And did it work? Wonderfully! You can see in my pictures below, this is the before, and after. All I did was take a rake and drag the grass roots that were tilled up out. Now, this is the highest wheel setting, meaning it only went a little bit in the ground! You can go move the wheels (I watched my husband do it, and he unplugged the device, and had it turned off before touching this area) by moving the wheels forward and backward until it catches in the groove. He could have lowered this much more for more in depth till, but we weren't sure what was under the ground, and we found a concrete paver that had sunk over the years. Our house is old, and we figured there might be old ones buried. I did end up holding the extension cord simply to help him as he went up and down so he wasn't trying to push it out of his way while using the device. But he managed to clear a 10x14 area in minutes. He did find a few roots, and had to turn off/unplug the device as one got stuck in the blades. He did get it out easy, but I do recommend putting this on the shallow setting first, versus using the max depth just in case you do come across roots. If you're looking for an item to remove sod or to make a little garden, this is definitely it! It works great on my grass and ground that has never been tilled before. We also have a pool that we're getting ready to put up, and he used this to till the ground again as we rented a big, expensive, piece of equipment, and it still wasn't perfectly level. With the tiller, he managed to get the ground level, and is now going to till further to make a drainage area we were lacking. By far, the best back saving tool we've bought! ... show more

  • Powerful... Deep... Value... Quality...
Size: Corded; 16 inch, 12 amp
If your looking for a Electric Corded Tiller get this one. For a corded tiller this thing is powerful. It literally just eats through the untouched dirt with ease. I recommend tilling the top layer of the ground and then raking out the grass so it don't get tangled around the blades of the tiller. Then you can till however deep you want to. It tills down through the dirt fast though. The wheels can be adjusted up so the tiller can go into the ground deeper. It's a versatile time saving machine built to last. The materials are all quality and durable. I like the colors of the material. It's super easy to assemble and put together. At $99 it's definitely a value for the money. I didn't expect it to be this powerful and was a little hesitant to make the purchase at first. But now I'm glad I did and you will be too. It also comes with a free 2 year warranty that needs to be registered online. Just check it out for yourself!!! ... show more

  • Excellent Product - Excellent Customer Service
Size: Corded; 16 inch, 12 amp
Wonderful machine and the company and it's distributors stand behind their product and offer excellent customer service. Over the years I have purchased a couple Sun Joe products and have always been happy with them, so when I needed a new tiller, I went with Sun Joe and I'm glad I did. This machine has a lot of power, yet is not unmanageable. It has various settings to allow you to dig deep into the soil, or just scrape the surface for things like seeding. I was using the tiller on the deepest setting to dig a vegetable garden from scratch. The tiller dug deep down on the first pass and totally turned the turf, mulching it up as I went. Then "BOOM", I hit a rock, and then another one, in all honesty, the tiller took a pretty significant beating but kept on working. Apparently however, the beating took it's toll, and eventually, the tiller assembly sheared off. Again, it took a beating before getting to that point. I notified the distributor SpreeTail through Amazon and they were extremely responsive. I admitted to them that I had hit some rocks, but they didn't seem to care. They immediately started the process for me to return the tiller free of charge and they replaced it with a brand new one. In all honesty, I think my tiller endured more than the normal wear and tear covered by the warranty, but within a week of sending it back, I had a brand new tiller. I will be much more careful with this one, starting at a lesser depth so that I am not surprised by big rocks buried deep underground that the blade encounters full on. Bottom line, I recommend this tiller and Sun Joe products without hesitation. This thing is a power house and gets the job done... Just be more careful than I was and should have been. ... show more

  • Very impressed
Size: Corded; 16 inch, 12 amp
I ordered this not expecting much. I have been digging rain ditches out around my house with a shovel and thought this might help make it a little easier. It was easy to put together. Lightweight. It did better than I could’ve imagined. With all the rocks, roots, and even a metal rake that burried in the leaves. lol. The rake was destroyed but this sun joy tiller didn’t have a ding in it. It does jump a little when you hit a rock or root but if you go back and forth with it slowly it does great. Very impressed. ... show more
