Easy to use and quite powerful, but is seriously lacking guards. Throws dirt all over the place. If you had a big garden that might not be a problem, but then again you'd want a bigger machine anyway!
I switched from a gas powered tiller to electric and I was skeptical about it being powerful enough for the job. Pleasantly surprised. One of the few times I did something right. Highly recommended.
I found out that while tilling the soil pulling the tiller back wards helps the tiller to dig out the large weeds and break up hard soil. Going forward the tiller will try to walk over a hard surface full of weeds. The tiller is easy to control and light enough to be carried where you need to go with the tiller.
Compared to my older Mantis gas tiller, this is a monster. It starts so easily (the main reason I dropped the gas tiller), and is VERY powerful. If you can reach a cord to where you need to till, this is the answer.
This is the second Sun Joe tiller/cultivator I've owned. The first lasted for several years tilling in hard soil and rocks. After one season with the second, it appears to be as reliable and does a wonderful job. I have multiple raised beds and I can control it perfectly. The electric motor provides plenty of quiet power and has never bogged down. I highly recommend!
Handles fell apart after the first use. Then I had to repack it and return it. New one arrived and I installed a metal bracing strip piece (see picture) between the handles. I've used it several times now without any more handle problems falling apart.
Your company could save a lot of money by doing this fix. My handyman time and materials were minimal to perform this simple task but not everyone is going to be able to perform this modification correctly.
Very happy with this unit, motor is very powerful and never slows down. Does a 18x18 garden fast and easy. I might add some weight to the top to help keep it down. It does dig down but I think with the additional weight it will chew through and not come up. Or maybe I’m doing it wrong..lol. Overall very satisfied and no annual oil changes needed!!
