Sun Joe Corded Electric Garden Tiller & Cultivator with Steel Tines, 16 Inch, 13.5-Amp Motor - Heavy-Duty Tilling Machine for Lawn, Yard, and Gardening Care, TJ604E

This little tiller is a beast! We had two sweet gum trees removed from our front yard recently, and the old bed where they were planted was in desperate need of tilling so we could rake the soil and level it out for planting some new grass and new Crape Myrtle trees. This tiller did an amazing job, and was just what we were looking for to make the work easier and faster. We did have to pause several times while tilling the area, unplug the tiller, and carefully remove left over tree roots that had wrapped around the tines, but that was to be expected since the sweet gums were well established. But having made such quick work of our tough and clay heavy North Carolina soil, I can only imagine how well this tiller would do in a garden or flower bed, without the tree roots and heavy clay to contend with. This is easily one of my favorite Amazon purchases ever! Fun and super satisfying to use, and it was very easy to put together out of the box. All you have to do is attach the two sections of the handle, and you’re ready to go. Just make sure you order a heavy duty outdoor extension cord to power it as well. If you need a tiller for your home garden and yard projects, this could be the perfect choice for you.

Works great for my use case. I have 2 large areas in my front yard that I have planted shrubs in. I have used wood chip mulch to help with weeds and make it look better. Its too dry here for grass (water controls). I was getting too many weeds to just pull by hand. I hate weed barrier as it works for a year or 2. I used this to till up the weeds and refresh the mulch. It worked awesome. Plenty of power and I don't need it a ton of weight. This is light weight and very maneuverable. It was like the Tasmanian devil on the weeds! I am really glad it worked as I hoped. I have bee hives so I don't spray pesticides. This is a great tool for my larger areas to weed.

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

It’s powerful and cut right through the dirt. I was pretty surprised that it was better than most gas operated tillers. Obviously the only reason for four stars is that there isn’t any really cord management and you have to watch your cord like a hawk to make sure you don’t go over it. Otherwise, the tiller works great!

It is powerful and small. Great for a small yard, or garden patch. If folds away for storage. Easy clean up.

I'm real happy with this product it's nice to have our own rototiller as it's impossible to rent one. It seems to do the job that it's supposed to do as I watch my husband use it. Just be careful and don't run over things like wire fences because they get tangled up and then you have to take it out of there and it's not easy. It seems to be durable I think it was easy to assemble but he did it I didn't and I don't even remember watching . It digs up the ground nicely it's pretty portable and easy to store. You do have to use a cord for it so you want to be careful not to run over the cord of course . We have used it with the heavy duty outdoor extension cords and since our garden is quite a ways from the outlet we've stuck two cords together and it still works great.

I received this tiller within two days of ordering. To tell the truth, was not expecting such a workhorse from an electric Tiller. I am a little older, and my husband just had surgery, and does not always feel like taking out our gas tiller. All I can say is I was BLOWED AWAY. I thought it might be hard to put together, NOPE, it has everything assembled except top two handles, and with the instructions included, it was only putting in 4 bolts and screwing them in, NO TOOLS NEEDED, I had it up and running within 20 minutes. My garden has some amendments, but it is in clay soil, and it takes a bit of work to dig and break up all the clay. I did dig the day before with a shovel to get it out of the ground, then used this to break it up really well. It worked like a mule. Just a push of the tiny start button on the side that you hold in until you pull the trigger, and it is raring to go, It bounced very little, you DO NOT have to manhandle this thing like some other tillers, it is lightweight, and with a little push, and forward handling it digs down really well. I would recommend this to all the ladies out there that wants to do your own work, and not have to depend on anyone else, at ANY age. The only con is the push button to have to continue pushing if you let it stop, but I saw someone say they taped it so it would continue running, I might try that. I will store this out of the rain, and in my She Garden Shed to try to make it last longer, and keep the tines cleaned out, and maybe wash them after use with the water hose. I did buy mine for 129.00 the price seems to go up and down, so watch for better price. It went up in price after two days, maybe because it works so well!

Wasn't sure what to expect after reading the positive and negative reviews but once I received this tiller, it worked really well. I was able to completely till my entire 1200 sq. ft front yard with no issues and pretty quickly. The tilling action worked well going forward but worked even better if you walked backwards with it. I will say you have to keep a firm grip on it as can get away from you but thankfully has an automatic shut off if the button is released. This tiller had no problem in my GA soil type which was pretty compacted. Noise level wasn't too bad and it was pretty easy assembly.
