The tiller was very easy to assemble. Using the tiller was great. Dug into the hard Georgia red clay like it was a hot knife going through butter. I have told several of my friends about it.

Cheap flimsy parts!
Everything was fine until the handle broke inside the plastic box. The handle is a cheap and flimsy plastic part and the assembly of the parts is not simple and clear. Plus, the drawings of the relevant parts was fuzzy and vague!!! NOT GOOD, Ryobi !!!

    Powerful little guy
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic value. Works great. Don’t be fooled by its small size. It’s an aggressive little thing.

      Easy to put together but that made it really easy to loosen. As there is a lot of vibration, this setup just didn’t like the vibration and started to come apart.

      Worked great. I am happy I purchased.
      Worked great, no issues. Expanded my garden and this machine broke up the old grass and dirt after a second pass. Overall, easy to use and what I needed it to. The only tough part was figure the right order of putting the tines on. Instructions not the clearest, but could have been a "me" thing.

      Motor died in first 2 hours
      Was initially super impressed with the unit showing great power for the price cutting through sod but died in under two hours with motor smoking and sparking. At least Home Depot accepted the return no questions asked

        Really like this small cultivator. It was out of the box and assembled in about 15 minutes and I was out cultivating several raised garden beds. One of the beds had grass growing in it and the cultivator went right through it. I tilled up the beds and supplemented with manure and got a good bed to about 8" depth. I plan to use this every year for years!

          This product worked way beyond expectation. It is certainly better than any battery-operated units by Ryobi. I would've gone through 10 batteries to do the job this thing did!

          This tiller was so easy to use. There were a lot of rocks in the area and it handled them well. We tilled the garden in no time. This was well worth the price.

          Instructions are very hard to follow. There are no words only pictures. The first time I used it. The wheels flew off.

          Plastic throttle handle snapped off in the middle
          I really liked this cultivator and it did a great job in my small veggie garden for the past 3 years. It was easy for me to handle also. The reason for only 3 stars is because in the middle of working to cultivate my garden the plastic throttle handle snapped off from the inside, rendering the machine useless. The way it snapped inside the unit cannot be repaired and I can't find a replacement throttle unit for it. A shame.

            Works very well. I’m happy with the product but the Ryobi customer service was the worst!!!! My cultivator can missing wheel pins. Can’t use it without wheels. I called and waited 2 hours and finally got a rep. When the parts arrived only one set!! After another 2 hours I finally got a representative!!! She made my order and I received the second set. Couldn’t use my machine until i got the parts Hope I don’t need anymore service etc!!!
