I was skeptical at first, but the reviews were good, so I took a chance at the Sun Joe tiller and I couldn't be happier after using it. This thing is a BEAST, and it has the power that a lot of gas tillers would have when it comes to actually breaking ground and not just cultivating already tilled ground. Some people don't know how to use it properly, which might account for the very few negative reviews, but this baby will get the job done.
This little monster is one awesome machine. I purchased this to replace an ageing Mantis. I think this is one of the better purchases I ever made. No gas or oil, just plug it in and go. It jumped a little in the clay soil we have here in Kansas. Just made a depth adjustment and it work fantastic. I really like this machine!
Digs deep, easy to handle, and easy cleanup. Rented gas tiller from years...NEVER AGAIN!

This is the first tiller I have ever purchased and the the first SNOW JOE/SUN JOE Product
First Tiller/Cultivator ever purchased and I have to say what a little worked horse of a machine. I live in Connecticut and the ground is so compact we have a lot of clay in my area .The area where I put it to work was a large area of my lawn approx. 8' x 24' where the grass was dead/dried out and has a lot of clay and hard compact soil but this machine worked very well. Can't say enough about this tiller it's the best 16 in. 12 amp model TJ603E I have purchased !!

I bought this tiller last spring. Awesome little machine for what it is. PROS: Light weight. Plenty of power to get through the hard pack. This thing really tears it up! CONS: Only one speed..... Throws dirt too far. Leaves an nicer bead if you work it backwards..... pulling it toward the operator.

Tiller was easy to assemble and works as described. I have tested it on bermuda grass. It is recommended to be used more on dirt projects. In my case I will have to stop more to check if grass gets rapped up in the tiller. In the test area it worked perfectly. If it hits a root it will jump so make sure you have a good grip and your footing is steady. Best to have damp, not soaked or dry dirt as well.
