This tiller does a pretty good job and does it quickly! I started a small vegetable garden and needed to turn the grass and compost in Sun Joe did the trick! And with out gas, fumes and noise! I was just over a 100 ft. needed $ extension cords.

Rototiller
Tiller did a good job better than I thought it would. She's a little on the light side . handles a little flimsy but overall I was happy with the way it performed . I would recommend this product.

It does the job, but could be better.
Pretty simple to assemble and use. It could benefit from being heavier and curved handle bars would be nice too. I don't like the trigger, a simple on off switch would be great. But it does what it's made to do and at a pretty cheap price.

I'm surprised
All I can say is I'm surprised. My thoughts were that a small low priced tiller particularly an electric one would be low power and shot lived. Boy was I wrong. This little jewel is easy to operate and has plenty of power and speed. I turned over 1500 sq feet in less than 30 minutes. My old and I mean old gas tiller from the 60's finally died and I was afraid electric was a bad move. Well I stand corrected.

Does the job. Really makes life easier. Doesn't take a lot of muscle to use. Love no issues as with gas engines. Easy start. Getting ready to use it again this year.

The application for this tiller is too help even out the sand for our Sand Volleyball courts. Before we use it again, we need to figure out how to reduce the dust it creates. Water is the answer, we just need to figure out the quantity before, so we don’t burn up the tiller.

Great Electric Tiller!!
I was very skeptical about purchasing an "electric" rototiller but the reviews looked pretty good for this tiller so I went ahead and purchased the tiller. WOW-all skepticism is GONE. We have a 15'X25' garden that had not been tilled for over 3yrs. I was absolutely amazed at the power this tiller performed with. It completely tilled the whole garden in under 30 minutes. A gas tiller could not have done a better job! I am thinking about getting the "electric" lawn mower after seeing how this tiller performed. If you want a GREAT tiller and don't want to deal with the noise, gas etc. you'll want to get this tiller. Very pleased with the performance of this tiller.

    The tiller was a lifesaver. It was very easy to handle and turned up the soil completely. I was tired of pulling ropes to start gas machines. I'm 82 yrs. old and do my own yardwork. Appreciate having this great machine to work with.

    Great tiller for the price
    I was so tired of having my gas rototiller not start every spring requiring me to take it once again to the smal lengine shop for another $200 bill!. My Sun Joe Tiller has never had a problem with satrting and is a tireless workhoarse when it comes to till my 200 x 200 foot garden. I have had it over 4 years and just today had the wled in one of the blades break. Sop I have certainly got my moneys worth in this reliable durable machine. Thanks Sun Joe for a great product.

      Very good tiller for most light to med/heavy work. I needed to lever some ground for a small pool and this chewed up the grass easy enough. Doesn't seem to be heavy duty enough but you cant tell once you run it.

      Does a good job. Tines could be longer. Are longer tines available? If you don't have good hand and arm strength better be doing some weight lifting before grabbing one of these by the horns. Motor very strong, did not overheat even though I was using it to till up my overgrown garden after I cut the weeds down to the dirt. But the roots did not slow it any at all. I did have trouble with my old extension cord staying plugged into the unit so use the cord minder and be sure the wires are secured.

      Not for everyone
      If you are just starting a garden or or landscaping project and have clay soil l, keep looking. This tiller only works if you drag it backwards unless the soil has already been loosened.

          The tiller arrived yesterday and I immediately assembled it (less than 10 minutes). Then I got right to work tilling my garden. I was very impressed with the power. I chose this model because it was the widest, not highest amperes. It certainly does not lack any power though. I would recommend this to anyone over a gas powered tiller for smaller areas.

            Works great and the counter rotating tines make mixing soil adminments easy. Cuts through the 4 to 6 inches of clay easily.

            I was impressed with this little tiller. We used it to mix the mud for a tile job. It mixed over 1500 bags of mud in a bag and still running strong. only dislikes are that the wheels on it are to small wobbly and are difficult to keep clean and you have to hold the trigger the entire time it runs
