Customer Review: It sure beats doing it by hand!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've wanted a garden tiller for years but didn't want to get into storing gas etc. (my lawnmower, weed whip, hedge trimmer, chain saw and all my other power tools are also electric). I saw this and was sold. It's pretty light so it bounces off hard soil but it's easy to move around the yard. I haven't used the wheels because the handle is so convenient. Using it is like reeling in a large fish. You let it till forward, then pull it back and run over the same area until you reach the desired depth. Tilt left or right to change direction. Removing the tines to remove weeds or clean is easy with the cotter pins. I did break a tine on some stony soil. Oh well. I'd buy it again if I had to do it over.
Here's an update after a season of use.
I still like the machine. It's great for previously-tilled or loose soil, or small jobs where there are no stones or roots. For a big sod-busting job I had, I rented a big rear-tine machine. The comment by another reviewer on the plastic gear is right on the mark. I stripped mine down to nothing. I think they use a plastic gear so you will break or wear out a $7 part rather than the $100+ transmission or motor. The machine isn't complex to repair and the manual is available on line. Here's the problem, though. The plastic gear I ordered took six weeks to arrive.
Here's an update after a three seasons of use.
So I've gone through three of those $7 plastic gears and I order more when I'm down to my last one so I don't miss any tilling time. My tines getting pretty worn down but still cut OK. When my clay soil is really dry, I have to water it or the tiller will just bounce off. On really hot days, the breaker pops after only a few minutes of use. I thought it might need lubrication but the transmission looked like it was still full of grease when I got the screw off. The newest problem is that the bolts that hold the motor in place don't stay tight. Eventually, the plastic will get stripped if I can't figure out how to secure the bolts. This may be the death knell for the tiller. I figure I paid about $120 for 3-4 seasons so far, and I'd do it again considering the work it has saved me.
