Had hopes for this but as others have commented it is not an easy start. I followed directions exactly with fresh gas + oil/fuel mixture. After multiple tries to start, it finally did and had to warm up before running. The next day, I tried to start it and nothing happened. It never started. (yes pressed plunger the required 10x). The motor looked pretty standard, but the tines seemed thin compared to others. I returned the item and HD gave me no issues with the return. This is what I like about home depot, they will accept returns with the receipt during the return period. Since I had to order this online from HD site and sight unseen, this was important. Perhaps others have better luck Good going HD but Troy-Bilt I wonder. I had a troy bilt tiller in the past and it ran like a charm for many years.

Great machine we used it heavily for over 6 years.
We used this to till my wife’s garden for over 6 years. It finally died this week. Something jammed up in the cylinder. Looked at a lot of others to replace it. We are now reordering this unit and expect to use it for another 6 years. One good thing about this unit is that it is easy to start. This is important because my wife is the primary user and she has a hard time starting gas engines. If you want this machine or any small engine to last this long you need to use ethanol free gas only. That is the only fuel that is use for all of our farm equipment. The only complaint that I have about this machine is that it is very difficult to get the cylinder head apart. If I could get it apartI could put this one back to work. Again great machine. Jim

    Tiller non working after minimal use and two seasons.
    Tiller would not start. Replaced Carb, Plug, fuel still wouldnt start. Took to small engines mechanic and determined internal failure recommending to throw the tiller away and replace. This was a well maintained tiller and it didnt matter. Waste of money.

      Perfect size
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this to prep the soil for sod we were laying. It handled easily and was the perfect size.
