Review: Opening the package everything was jumbled around. I noticed that there was a supplied 500w 120v to 230v transformer in the box. This is not suitable as by my calculations this rotates it requires at least over 1600watts. A small inverter would not be powerful enough to run the rotavator. It's also a point of failure. I don't see it lasting very long. If you're from the UK / euro I would avoid buying this. We've started the return process. We're very disappointed as it was a long wait for delivery.
Review: I received this tiller within two days of ordering. To tell the truth, was not expecting such a workhorse from an electric Tiller. I am a little older, and my husband just had surgery, and does not always feel like taking out our gas tiller. All I can say is I was BLOWED AWAY. I thought it might be hard to put together, NOPE, it has everything assembled except top two handles, and with the instructions included, it was only putting in 4 bolts and screwing them in, NO TOOLS NEEDED, I had it up and running within 20 minutes. My garden has some amendments, but it is in clay soil, and it takes a bit of work to dig and break up all the clay. I did dig the day before with a shovel to get it out of the ground, then used this to break it up really well. It worked like a mule. Just a push of the tiny start button on the side that you hold in until you pull the trigger, and it is raring to go, It bounced very little, you DO NOT have to manhandle this thing like some other tillers, it is lightweight, and with a little push, and forward handling it digs down really well. I would recommend this to all the ladies out there that wants to do your own work, and not have to depend on anyone else, at ANY age. The only con is the push button to have to continue pushing if you let it stop, but I saw someone say they taped it so it would continue running, I might try that. I will store this out of the rain, and in my She Garden Shed to try to make it last longer, and keep the tines cleaned out, and maybe wash them after use with the water hose. I did buy mine for 129.00 the price seems to go up and down, so watch for better price. It went up in price after two days, maybe because it works so well!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is horse power rating of motor**
A: There's an easy way to calculate the power of an electrical motor. First you multiply the volts times the amps to find the total power in watts, in this case 120 volts times 13.5 amps equals 1,620 watts. Next, you figure in an average 85% efficiency for electric motors to get 1,377 watts. (It's fair to assume this low-cost AC appliance uses a typical AC induction motor which is probably more like 80% efficiency, and the manufacturer doesn't claim anything better, but let's give them the benefit of the doubt since there are some electric motors that exceed 95% efficiency.) Then, you consider that you'll always be using this while plugged into an extension cord. Let's say it's the typical $30 14 gauge, 50 foot cord that's common (but be aware that longer or shorter cords, or higher or lower wire gauge, will change this) and factor in another 3% drop in power, so you have  1,335 watts at the machine.Now, 1335 watts is about 1.8 horsepower. If you're comparing this to the popular Mantis 16 inch tiller, with a 4-stroke Honda GX35 gas engine, that has 1.3HP at 7,000rpm. So on paper, this is 38% more powerful, but there are lots of other differences. It has a very different tine shape, but of course caring for a gas engine and getting virtually unlimited portability, vs. a maintenance-free electrical motor while tied to a power cord, are also big differences. TL,DR: This is more powerful in most cases than its gas competitors, and that's important but it's not the only consideration.

**Q: has anyone compared the 12 amp model to the 13.5 amp one? is it worth spending the extra money to get the 13.5 amp tiller?**
A: Our soil here in Montana has a lot of clay and turns rock hard when dry.  I have the 13.5 but to keep it from dancing all over the place I put a fifty pound lead weight on it to hold it down.  With the extra weight it does a great job

**Q: Is 13.5 amps too much for a 15 amp circuit?**
A: You will be fine on a 15A circuit.  Recommendations from the manufacturer are 14/3 (14gauge 3conductor) extension cord for up to 50ft and 12/3 extension cord for up to 100ft.  Total length should not exceed 100ft however I'm sure a 10/3 extension cord would be fine for more than 100ft but a 10/3 extension cord would be very expensive.  Please be aware that the tiller pulls the most current with the tines are digging deep in the soil and the motor is bogging down and under extreme strain it's possible it might pop the breaker on a 15A circuit.

**Q: Can tines be removed for narrower tilling area?**
A: yes, but...the tines are an assembly of 3 held to the shaft with a through bolt.  If you removed one assembly you could till with just one side, but the tiller is still over a foot wide and the empty shaft is still sticking out even without the tines.  this is a powerful machine, I would look at a lighter, narrower tiller if you want to do a more narrow area.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by H***N on 25 May 2025*

This little tiller is a beast! We had two sweet gum trees removed from our front yard recently, and the old bed where they were planted was in desperate need of tilling so we could rake the soil and level it out for planting some new grass and new Crape Myrtle trees. This tiller did an amazing job, and was just what we were looking for to make the work easier and faster. We did have to pause several times while tilling the area, unplug the tiller, and carefully remove left over tree roots that had wrapped around the tines, but that was to be expected since the sweet gums were well established. But having made such quick work of our tough and clay heavy North Carolina soil, I can only imagine how well this tiller would do in a garden or flower bed, without the tree roots and heavy clay to contend with. This is easily one of my favorite Amazon purchases ever! Fun and super satisfying to use, and it was very easy to put together out of the box. All you have to do is attach the two sections of the handle, and you’re ready to go. Just make sure you order a heavy duty outdoor extension cord to power it as well. If you need a tiller for your home garden and yard projects, this could be the perfect choice for you.
