  • A RUGGED LIGHT WEIGHT PERFORMER
This is absolutely one of the best tillers available, in my opinion. While I do not use it in the garden any more, there are plenty of other uses that it is perfectly suited to complete. Caution is advised to those who may not have the strength to safely operate this machine. It is powerful, rugged, and does a great job in various applications. ... show more

  • This works in clay soil.
I’m very pleased with this purchase. I have clay soil and it’s hard as a rock. This tiller is smaller and easy for a woman over 70 to handle. It has a lot of power even though being smaller.

  • EASY To Use And Maneuver, But Lighter Duty Than A Gas Tiller
This tiller is great – lightweight and easy to maneuver – I'm very happy with the purchase. The first time I started it up, I was shocked at how easily it dug straight into the dirt, and how easy it was to use. And if you're worried about the cord, it never really bothered me. You're moving slow enough when you're tilling that keeping the cord out of the way is not really a challenge. It's not unlike vacuuming, only slower going. That said, if you're thinking about buying it, and you've used a gas tiller before, you need to have realistic expectations. A couple quick notes. It's absurdly easy to assemble. Contrary to a couple comments I read, I found the wheel adjustment to be very easy to use; you just pull the wheels toward you and put them in the notch you want. We have a small garden, maybe 10 x 30. I used it yesterday for the first time for two or three hours, re-tilling some leaves into the existing garden, and breaking new ground to expand our plot. Last year, I broke ground with a front tine gas tiller I borrowed from a friend, basically a larger gas version of this tiller, so here's my comparison. It was wet yesterday, and there's some clay content in our soil, and the electric bogged down two or three times. It just stopped turning, and there was a little smoke whisping off the motor, which made we nervous. But I simply stopped, cleaned the tines out, and let it spin free a little to clear the dirt, and it kept working just fine. That said, with the gas tiller, I never had this problem. Although the electric was surprisingly strong, the gas was definitely more powerful. My guess is that I'll end up having to do more passes with this tiller than with the gas. That said, a gas tiller is two to three times as expensive, and requires a lot more maintenance. For me, the trade off is worth it. As for maneuverability, this lightweight tiller won hands down. Keep in mind, weight can be helpful for the tiller to sink into and break up deep soil. But, whereas I was absolutely exhausted after using the gas tiller last year, using this tiller really isn't that much harder than mowing the grass. As long as this tiller can get the job done, I would much rather use it. There's a few reasons I gave this tiller four starts instead of five. In wet soil with clay content, the design makes it very easy for soil to collect between the tines, the top protective shield and the wheels, which ultimately leads to the tiller bogging down. I constantly had a big, clogged mass of soil and clay bunched between the protective shield and the wheel bracket. And, although I had no problems yesterday, I'd feel more confident about this tiller's life span if the wheels were more heavy duty. And, more importantly, I'd have liked it if they put heavier gauge handles on it. At times, when you're wresting with the tiller, the handle torques a bit, which makes me a little nervous about how long it will last. My guess is, I'll get several years out of this tiller, but not a couple decades, like you might from a gas tiller. That said, I don't think the makers of this tiller are misrepresenting this it in any way. It's a great, easy to use, lightweight tiller, and it will probably meet our needs for years. While it's not suited for serious, heavy duty tilling, for the average home owner who's just gonna use it a couple times a year, it's a great solution. UPDATE Changed my original review from 4 to 5 stars. I've used it twice more on our garden plot, which we expanded to about 15 x 40. Second time, used it when the ground was fairly wet, and, because we have a bit of clay in our soil, it still struggled some, but ultimately managed to get through everything just fine. The third time, I added some soil amendments when we'd had a few dry days, and it worked perfectly. Really couldn't be happier. It's lightweight, easy to use, and more than powerful enough for our needs. ... show more

  • Jumpy, but it works! UPDATED REVIEW
The media could not be loaded. To start with, this machine will give your forearms a workout. Any slight slope off of your intended path is where the tiller wants to go. I read other reviews about putting a cinder block on it to add weight, I duct taped a rock, set on top of that drawer liner rubber stuff to keep it stable and protect the top of my tiller. It worked out pretty well to help it get through tangled masses of thick grass roots. I finished what would have taken 3+hours by hand, in less than 30 minutes(including break times to clear long grass that is wrapped around the tines). The handles are kind of thick, it was hard to get my hands around for a tight grip. I know it's not suggested to use this tiller backwards, but I did a bit when I had to get it back on track. This was very easy to put together and the light weight makes transportation a breeze. It does make it jump and bump if you hit thick root masses, or anything not plain dirt. UPDATE! So I've have this tiller for a few years now so I figured I'd come back with an update. It's still really good tiller. I got a big area dug up and it bounced over rocks without being damaged. The handles are still what's keeping it from being 5 stars, I wish they weren't plastic because it feels like that'll be a fail point in the future. ... show more

  • So worth the money
I had to till a good portion of my yard to prep for mulch for the kids and after renting a mantis and not being able to use it due to something coming up, i wanted to purchase something to use in my leisure. I had my heard set on the $400 4-cycle gas model but was having a hard time swallowing the cost and though i would give this a try given this is something I'll probably use rarely after this one time. All i have to say is wow. It did the entire job and could have easily done more. I've used light duty gas tillers before and this machine does not disappoint. To put things into perspective, it was $65 to rent that tiller that i didn't use and only slightly over $100 to own this. Well worth it. Its a beast and will take whatever you throw at it. Comfortable design too but i just with the trigger engaged a little sooner as after using this for 2 hours straight my ability to squeeze the handle started to fail but its a minor complaint. The best part about this now is there is no storage prep like there would be on a combustion engine and this will fire right up when i need it next. Great little machine. Plenty of power so be ready for it or it will take you for a ride if you aren't ready. The nice thing about electric is its ready to go immediately. No warm-up, choking, pull starting, etc. Tines clog easy with roots and greenery so if you hear the motor start to struggle, clean it out or you will likely burn it up. This would be an issue with any tiller though. At 13.5 Amps make sure you have AT LEAST a 14 gauge extension cord. Long runs over 50ft will need 12 gauge which isn't cheap but nice cables to have anyways. ... show more

  • Love this!
Plugs in, so kinda sucks dragging a cord around with it but it works great! Can’t dig in my yard an inch without hitting a million rocks and this went right through no problem! Loosened the soil so it was easy to move. Was easy to setup too
