I am tilling and amending the soil for new grass, front and back and flower gardens. Because I live in So-Cal I have decided to plant grass that best suits our dry climate. I considered renting a tiller but have a very large project and want to take my time and do it right. One of the problems with a house built in the early 40's is that there have been prior owners who for some reason had 1 inch river rock on both side and back yards. The sides, I understand but the backyard, a mystery. I tilled a 20' x 25' foot section of the backyard and will repeat until the yard is completed. There were rocks, lots of them and the tiller bucked but didn't break. I would till a 3' x 20' section, remove rocks and keep doing this until I was 8 inches down and move to the next section. I was amazed how strong the tiller was. Today I ordered new tins, just to have in case I need them. But this tiller is still going strong and the tins look great. I would recommend this tiller.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Sun Joe electric garden tiller was key to a midwest backyard transformation. Determined to complete a recent backyard renovation, I found various conventional gardening tools to be inefficient when working with the hard clay soil of eastern Missouri. After careful thought and reviews of numerous tillers, I chose the Sun Joe for its price, power and satisfied customers' reviews. Having a Mantis 2 cycle gas tiller for our west coast home, I thought an electric unit would be more environmentally friendly and less intrusive on the neighbors. I found the ease of operation, adjustable tilling depths, compact size and weight perfect for all of the various projects. I created many flower beds, an in ground sandbox for my grandson and numerous shrub root and stump removal with ease. I highly recommend this unit, knowing it will enable you to complete your lawn and garden projects with less time and effort. Friends and neighbors have rave reviews for the added interest to what had been a rather plain backyard!

I am very pleased with the Sun Joe TJ604E Tiller. Most reviews state that it can compare with medium weight gas powered ones and it does. Even though the Sun Joe manual says its not intended for hard clay I attacked my hard clay soil in my front lawn (30 X 8 ft.) and after an hour, and some bouncing, I had loosened soil 4 inches deep with no damage to the blades. I then added new, good topsoil and retilled/mixed the new topsoil in with the now loosened clay - it mixed/tilled the soil with ease. I highly recommend the 13.5 AMP tiller level to do never- tilled areas - the lower amp models just won't do the job. This tiller is a workhorse...I was impressed.

My 15 yr. old 7 hp Craftsman broke last year and I have been slow about getting it repaired. My wife told me she wanted to plant early this year and I HAD to get the tilling done soon. I looked for something(cheap) to buy time until I could get the Craftsman fixed and ended up with this tiller. I got the garden done so quick SHE decided to double the size and I DID. It has power galore and handled the untilled clay and rock like the BIG boys.
A++ for this little powerhouse !!

We are in our 70's and needed something small to operate in our garden. What a great job this guy did. We plowed up existing garden with ease. Did a new one with almost the same results. Because a pool sat in that location it had years of 10,000 lbs of water sitting on the dirt. This little guy plowed right through the area. We had to water a very small section to soften it but once that was done, bang, it plowed right through. After two plowing jobs to make sure the dirt was mixed well it is ready to plant. We would suggest this product to everyone. Love the plug in and go, no pull to start, no gas either. Folds easily and stores well. Very happy

I got this tiller to use to loosen up the soil in the chicken run mainly, but after finding out how well and easy it works I will probably have other uses for it. It is more powerful than I had thought it would be. It cut right through some roots about 1 or 1 1/2 inches in diameter. It is not as loud as I thought. The chickens do not freak out like they do when I use a weed eater or a blower any where near their run. The do stay on the other side of the run, but not really upset at all. As soon as I stop they run over looking for worms or bugs. I recommend this tiller totally. Nice that you do not have to worry with gas/oil or getting it started.

I have used it 6 times since It arrived. I hated my previous tiller (Mantis) which worked OK ....if it would start. This is actually fun to use, and has plenty of power. I bought a 100' heavy duty, 12 ga. outdoor extension cord.....overkill? Maybe, but this baby hums!
Pros: Great Value, Easy To Use, Accurate Performance, Easy to store, Lightweight, Durable, Great Design, Easy to assemble, Powerful
I would recommend this to a friend!

I wasn't sure if this little electric tiller could till my garden because I have (had) some old creeping shrub roots that come in from the woods, and my garden had never been tilled before. I began years ago with a lasagna style garden and made the mistake of putting old straw on top. For years I have been dealing with huge clusters of deeply rooted mats of oat grass. I also let the garden lay fallow for a year and was having massive problems with weeds last summer. I hurt my shoulder and couldn't pull weeds. I tried burning them, but a couple weeks later they were back up. By the time I did my research and got my Sun Joe 13.5 amp. 16" wide electric tiller, those weeds were 2 feet tall. I highly recommend trimming down the weeds or grass first to help prevent the inevitable tangle that forms on the tiller blades. I was AMAZED at how tough this little tiller is, and how easy it was to operate, even with my previous shoulder injury. If you are worried about the electric cord, all you have to do is let go of the "gas" and it stops immediately. As soon as you press the trigger it is running strong again. Now I think about all that green goodness being tilled into the soil making it rich with nitrogen and other mineral's. I am actually looking forward to tilling again where needed.
