                      I have a 20' x 12' vegetable garden (photo attached). Each spring and fall I would rent a Honda gas tiller from Home Depot at the tune of about $35 per rental. My initial garden set really needed a large gas tiller as the soil was mostly hard clay so breaking that up required some serious power. After doing this for a couple of years - and having added soil conditioner, compost, and sand to the bed - I decided it was time to save some money and buy a tiller. I made the decision to switch to electric instead of gas. Based on the reviews, power, and size specs, I bought the Earthwise 16" 13.5 amp electric tiller. This machine is awesome! Plenty of power - it will pull you - and it really digs in and finely chops up the chunks. Two years running now and it still hums right along. Only downside, and it's really not a big deal, is that you can't hose down when done given it's electric circuity. So, you just hand clean the tines when done. Also, not sure you'd want to begin a new bed in hard clay soil using this as one could possibly burn out the motor - but, I can't really attest to that. At any rate, I highly recommend this product.

                        works better than expected
                        Wasn't going to ever use a tiller always a shovel type person but the area was dry and hadn't been disturb in 30 years. This easily tilled the area. It did start to smoke when grass wrapped around the tines and you have to let it cool down before you remove anything wrapped up in the tines. Overall impressed and hope it keeps tilling along.

                          Surprisingly effective
                          I was skeptical about whether this would have enough power to tear through healthy grass. But I bought one because the price was low enough that I could take a chance. The tiller ripped up the lawn and got down into the topsoil. It was effective in preparing an area for growing vegetables. Once the area was tilled, it was only necessary to rake out the remaining grass and small stones. Then we had an area just right for a new garden. This cleared the garden plot quicker than physically larger and heavier gasoline powered tillers I have rented in the past - and now I own it. So I no longer have to make trips to the rental store to find expensive equipment that is not perceptibly better. This will do the job for the projects in my household. Because a tiller is not used in the same way that a lawn mower is, having an electric cord is not an inconvenience for operation. Since you focus on clearing a smaller area at a time, you are not constantly having to stop to move the cord out of the way like you do for a plug in lawn mower. I should have read the manual better before I put it together. Assembly took longer than expected - because I put the wheels on the wrong way, and I assembled the handles to the mechanism prematurely. I did not notice the extension cord clamp that was supposed to be put around the lower handle piece before putting the handles together. But the tools required for assembly were simple and it only added 5 minutes or so to put things together the right way.

                            Seems to be sturdy and well built. Assembly was very easy. Have used it twice to till over a large section of former lawn to prepare for reseeding and once to get the pea row ready for planting. The lawn area was overgrown with a woody rooted weed and it cut through those shallow but matted roots without issue. Next up is tilling the remainder of the vegetable garden for planting. Used to do all this by hand but I'm not quite as young as I used to be and I really appreciate having a tiller do that backbreaking work plus the light weight so I can lift it over the garden fence.

                              More than enough power to meet the needs I had. If it had a little more weight on the front it would have exceeded expectations. Still a great piece of equipment for the cost.
