As for the fact that it doesn’t till very deep, I believe just re-tilling the area would do the job, which I would have done today but was in a hurry to get my strawberry plants in the ground before they died. I tilled a 10×10 patch of packed down soil, in under 10 minutes with no signs of overheating, so really, it’s not a bad machine for people with small to medium gardens (like me!) but I wouldn’t recommend it for a large garden.
I was actually going to buy a Mantis tiller too, had the order form filled out and the check ready to go in the mail when I found this Sun Joe tiller, and was nervous to try it, because of the fact that there were no user reviews on any of the sites I researched them on, but decided to take the chance and save a lot of money. No regrets. Keep in mind too, this tiller only costs about as much as it would to rent one for 3 days, not a bad investment.
Pros:
Lightweight, you can just pick it up and pack it around instead of dragging it
POWERFUL! I wasn’t expecting it at all and had a very relaxed grip when I first turned it on, it almost zoomed out of my hands.
Easy Assembly, 2 screws and two bolts with wingnuts, then you just “press in” the cord a couple places where required.
about double the tine span the mantis tillers have, at less than half the price.
Cons:
Maybe a little too light weight, it didn’t till very deep while walking a steady slow pace.
