Wasn't on sale - but I don't care because I already own several Greenworks 60v outdoor products and couldn't be more pleased with them. Tool only option (no battery) was exactly what I was looking for because I already have plenty of the 60v batteries from previous purchases. (The fact 60v batteries can be interchanged on multiple Greenworks products was a key factor in buying decision).
Overall light in weight - it's not going to do the job a heavier gas-powered tiller would do on hard compact soil. For my purposes (house edging and stand-alone beds) with medium hardness soil, it worked great. Easily turned 5-6" depth of soil for planting. Plenty of power remained in the battery after usage.
Benefit of lighter weight - can easily be lifted in/out/over anything.
Does what I need it to do in size areas I use it in.
I've purchased Greenworks products before and liked them, this one I do not for several reasons: (1) The tangs on the tiller are basically just saw blades in shape - they do not cut roots (like a typical "L-shaped" blade does. They mix dirt, but do not cut the roots of any small plant; (2) It's not very well made, it broke about 30 minutes into use when the cotter-pin they have on the blades fell off and dissappered into the dirt; (3) and the ergonomics on this are really poorly designed - the handle should be around 18" shorter. You end with the handle being closer to your arm pits than your waist. I did give it two stars because the battery lasted a full 30 minutes before I needed to recharge it, and it was easy to assemble.
Pros: Environmentally Safe
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Full_Speed_Ahead. Thank you for sharing your experience with our units. Your feedback helps us improve our products and customer experience. The Greenworks 60V Cultivator was best designed for maintaining established gardens and stirring in fertilizer. For easy loosening of ground and removal of dirt, the forward rotating, removable and adjustable steel tines help to achieve those goals. The cultivator is not designed to cut large roots. To ensure you receive the optimal performance from the unit, the unit must be assembled correctly, especially the direction of the cotter-pin.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice product. It is a little tricky to put the tines on properly. I suggest watching the video. It's very low to the ground, so you have to bend down to operate it.
This was a gift for my girlfriend and, while satisfied overall, it was very disappointing to open the box to find a broken piece. Not a major piece affecting functionality, but the plastic clip to hold the wire along the handle. She asked for a Mantis and I convinced her to try this because I have 3 other Greenworks tools. So, I will probably hear about this for a long time. A very long time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a small 5 ft ,70 year old wo.an that has clay soil. Ugh!! This little sweetheart is Awesome!!! I've used it soon much. My husband said that it would never work in our clay soil. It surprised him. I won't let him use it. It's my gift to myself. I've put in a grape garden and several beautiful flower gardens. You'll never regret this little honey!!!
