PRETTY GOOD PRODUCT FOR A CORDED TILLER, WORKED GREAT FOR THE PROJECT WE NEEDED IT FOR Read more

What used to take me days with a shovel and rake takes an afternoon. I have a well-established garden and in the spring I like to turn the soil and get rid of clumps, loosen things up and do what I can to make sure the carrots to come out straight. This machine just chews it up like a sideways blender. A lot more powerful than I expected. Using the recommended forward and backward technique you get a good workout. But it's worth it on the backward track when you see all the fluffy soil coming out. Does an excellent job conditioning soil. Really reduces the time and effort getting the job done. Should have picked one up years ago. Read more

My wife wanted to be able to use this and I wanted something not too wide to fit into some tight spots and not too heavy for us to handle. This fit the bill perfectly! It is very powerful for its size and easy to use. As others have noted this really works best when pulling it backwards if you want to till down to a decent depth. I would definitely recommend it.

Most powerful mini rototiller made. Lightweight, easy to assemble and digs a hole 1 foot deep in seconds. We planted 6-7 foot cedar trees in no time at all. Dug up grass with ease and hides in the shed no problem. Highly recommend for your big or small jobs. Read more

Works very well and built tough. I used it on clay soil with a lot of rocks and roots. I appreciate the 12 amp motor. Tines appear to be extremely strong--nothing seems to bend them. I'm tilled up a new lawn area in a few hours, and that would have taken multiple days by hand. Read the instructions carefully, including the safety precautions. There is a good shield between the motor and the tines, but this sends a lot of debris into the air, so you definitely need good eye protection. Keeping the extension cord away from the moving tines was a challenge even though the power cable is led high up on the handle. The tiller bounces around quite a lot, so make sure to release the power trigger if the time get anywhere near the extension cord. Also, get a brightly colored extension cord that's easy to see. I ended up replacing my extension cord, and I was lucky not to get a bad shock. Also, make sure to disconnect the extension cord if you need to clear away twisted vines and roots like I did quite a lot. The combination of safety button and power trigger looks good to me, but I don't want to find out how a freak accident could nonetheless power on the tiller while i have my fingers in the tines. I'm not a safety expert, and this is not a comprehensive list of precautions, I'm just pointing out how some of the safety precautions appear particularly important from my limited experience with the device. Read all the precautions in the manual! The is my first electric tiller, so I can't really compare it to others. I think the safety concerns are common to any corded electric tiller. There weren't that many in this price range with a 12 amp motor, which was my reason for picking this model. I don't know how a 10.5 amp motor would have worked in my soil, but I had no power issues with this model's 12 amp. Read more
