I bought this item about a month ago and it continues to work well. I primarily use it for mixing up my compost pile. It works well when the material is not significantly compacted. The tines clean-up easily. It seems like it is durable and will last.
I have only used the tiller a few times since I purchased it a short time ago. So far it has worked well in my flower garden and around larger plants in our yard. Really like the size and how easy it is to use.
