Broke after 5 uses
All worked great until the cheap plastci handle broke. (part No. 46) Home Depot does not carry replacement parts. Tried ordering the part through Ryobi 3 weeks ago, have heard nothing back since. Apparently none available at Ryobi either, Now worthless.

    Beast
    This cultivator is a beast. I ve had the mantis which was very good but this is more in line with my desire to not use gas. Also, putting it together is a snap.

      The two complaints I have are the inconvenient "safety switch" and the all or nothing on/off lever to use the cultivator. Otherwise, the unit performed as expected for the use intended.

      I bought it 3 weeks ago and used it right away (one time) for the area of 1,000 square feet. It worked well and had no issues.

      Unit appeared reconditioned, was on sale as new and performed well. Used to till green lawn in moist soil yet unit rarely clogged.

      Fails to turn on after the second use.
      Worked great for 7 minutes. Went to change my shoes because of dirt. Came back out to finish and now it won’t turn on.

        Hard worker
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used the cultivator to break up a large area in my back yard. Went through the hardest soil with ease

            Great tool. Perfect for our small beds with enough power to dig through tough ground.

            Died after 10 minutes of use
            I purchased this today. Assembly was fairly easy and I was excited to use it. We had loosely laying dirt that was also moist from this last rain. Should have been an easy process but it stopped working after about 10 minutes. Really disappointed.

              AOK
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Can't wait to try this out in the Spring. I have gas powered tiller but am hoping this is lighter and easier to use. It doesn't take up alot of space which is always a good thing.

                Leaking "something"
                Worked great for a few uses, then after about the fourth or fifth time using it, I found a puddle of grease or oil under it and it leaking out the bottom. I'll see if I can pull it apart and fix it, but not worth buying another one I don't think.
