I used mine for putting in a small vegitable garden and it worked ok. I like the price and its weight and how it is very easy to handle. Some of the draw backs to it is its size and the fact that you have to really watch out for rocks.
For the past several years I have gardened using containers but after cutting back a very overgrown bush I was left with a roughly 15'x15' bare space and instead of planting grass I decided to expand my garden. The Sun Joe Tiller TJ600E seems to have been the perfect choice. Assembly was simple and I had my garden tilled the same day the unit was delivered. It easily tilled 6 or so inches deep, was easy to handle and control and only seems to make as much noise as an electric mixer. For smaller residential garden plots this tiller seems a perfect fit - I would make a pass one way and then turn around and go back the other walking along behind as it pulled itself through the soil. One note in that I bought the refurbished model and I am well pleased.
Pros: Compact, Easy To Use, Powerful, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had another brand of electric tiller that burned out on me twice. The first time I took it to get it repaired and after almost 2 months they told me parts were not available. They did send me a new one free of charge since it was under warranty. I used it last year without a problem. This year I was tilling my front yard which had hard packed clay and the motor burned out again after 3 passes. I gave up on it and bought this Sun Joe brand. It started on that hard packed clay and ran like a champion. The power of this Sun Joe Tiller is exceptional. I wish that I had purchased a Sun Joe to begin with. the only complaint I have is with the position of the on-off switch. As I use the tiller my hand has a tendency to move toward the back of the handle and I accidentally release the switch. This happens multiple times. If the switch was either placed further back on the handle by about 1/2" or if a longer switch was used then it would be much easier to control. I am going to have to come up with something that I can attach to the handle or switch to cure that one design defect.
Pros: Ease Of Assembly, Easy To Use, Reduced Noise, Handling/Manueverability, Quality Construction
Cons: Position of on-off switch.

https://www.facebook.com/cindy.o.vincent/videos/10208399144190125/ We used it to give my vegetable garden a tilling before winter. It tilled so much better than our old gas tiller, which just dug up clumps, but this makes the soil very fine and workable without having to rake out clumps afterwards. It's amazing how powerful this is, considering how lightweight it is and so easy to use.
Pros: Great Value, Easy To Use, Accurate Performance, Easy to store, Lightweight, Unique Features, Durable, Great Design, Easy to assemble, Powerful
Product was delivered as promised. Easy to put together and I used it as a test run since I will tilt my garden in the fall. I was impressed with its effectiveness and ease of use. I can't wait for the fall season.
Had a really old tiller, really heavy, didn't really think this would work being so cheap, but, it does. Planted my garden with tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. The best part was it was so light and easy to handle. Best thing I ever bought
We had battled with a gas powered rototiller for years....ALWAYS hard to start, specially mixed fuel and having to get the gas out of it every Fall which sometimes we didn't get around to and that caused problems. The electric Sun Joe rototiller was liberating from all that! We were skeptical that it would have as much power but it was every bit as strong as the gas version and such a pleasure to use, hassle free and we love it!
