I used a 2.5mh battery. The battery was able to get me through the whole garden 3 times. Weed and root bindings can be removed easily as it is easy to remove the blades to unbind. Most time, I don’t even need to remove the blades to unbind. The cultivator is light weight even my young daughter can handle it. The only complaint I have is the ergonomic of the trigger. It is too short as I is tiring to hold it down.
Although I own 4 other Greenworks tools, I was somewhat skeptical about buying this tool because I wasn't sure if it would provide the torque needed for tilling soil. But I have to say, this tiller provided everything I expected. It had all the torque needed for tilling. And it's impressive design makes it easy to switch from a 10-inch wide cutting path to a 5-inch wide cutting path for tilling in narrow areas. GREAT TOOL!
Tiller is excellent. Put together in 15 minutes (first time). Tilled about 10 sqft of clay soil as deep as we wanted. Strong power, plenty of battery power (used 60V 4.0 AH battery from my Greenworks 25" 60V Lawn Mower (nice to be able to share these between these tools). Tiller blades very easy to disassemble for easy cleaning with the hose. I am going green for all my yard tools and I love it - no gas mess, no gas smell, no gas noise - battery power is quiet, powerful, clean and green! I would recommend this tiller to anyone for small/medium tilling jobs.
Tiller is fun and easy to use. Is doing the job I expected it to do. Great to have a tiller that starts so easily and tills with the power I had hoped for.
Tiller seems to work very good, plenty of power. Haven't got to run it for long. Want to mention that the x-range batteries won't allow the cover door to fully close!? It was clearly designed for the ultra power batteries. X-range tool not fully compatible with even the smallest x-range batteries! Bit of a disappointment, I will likely just remove door before it gets ripped off. Batteries are also too difficult to click in. My wife and kids won't be able to do it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Small enough to maneuver easily. I love the battery. My Mantis was getting more difficult to start. I also enjoy the wheels. Though it’s a little heavier then the Mantis the wheels make it easier to move it around, they also keep it from running to deep.
I purchased this tiller for my homestead farm. Easy to set up and more powerful than you'd think, even in breaking up heavy, wet soil and working through small roots. I love that I can use my battery across a wide range of tools.
I bought this to replace a gas powered mini cultivator that I only use twice a year. No mixing gas, and pulling a cord until worn out to start! Seems just as powerful, and used the same 60v platform as my mower. I'm pretty sold.
