Customer Reviews:
Not bad
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. 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 10x10 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...

Good electric tiller
It does the job pretty well. It did take me a while to get through some sod since I didn't want to take the time to cut it out with a shovel like I did last time. It is light so you have to hold it back and let it dig for a while to get it tilled down as deep as you want, but overall for the money and the lack of maintenance needed since it is electric, it is a good deal and helpful tool.

Mower

WEED NOW, PLAY LATER

Start by weeding. No need to recoil at the mere thought of weeding, as you might have done in summer. Weeding this time of year can be quite enjoyable because the weather is too cool and the sun too low for new weeds to quickly replace pulled ones. Fall weeding is a relatively leisurely activity, a good excuse for fresh air and exercise.

If you’re going to till to rid the garden of weeds, you could even do that now. Don’t till as you would in spring, though, reducing the soil to pebble-size bits in which to snuggle seeds. That would result in a sea of spring mud.

Instead, till just enough to uproot weeds and leave the soil rough. The ideal tool for this job is not a rototiller, but a spade or digging fork. Freezing and thawing in the next few months will weaken the large clumps left after rough digging. Come spring, merely tickling the clumps with a garden rake will break them apart to create a nice seedbed.

TOO ACIDIC OR ALKALINE?
