After a very bad experience with a cheaper tiller we bought the Sun Joe. We got it very fast, and couldn’t wait to till between the rows of our small garden. It works wonderful. It hilled up around crops, chopped up weeds, and was so easy to use. The handles are a little long for me, but easily adjusted for it. We tilled all the rows and around the entire garden and this tiller did not even heat up. We are very satisfied.

This is a nice lightweight tiller to handle small projects. We have not used it in harder dirt only to turn under horse manure, dirt and sand together. We used it to combine the soils together in large garden boxes. It is working just fine so far for this simple gardening.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3J2I54AQWMWQ4 As you can see, this little unit tries hard but doesn’t get very deep, even into soft soil. It seems durable and was easy to put together. My garden is pretty small (10×12) and it made quick work of the top bit of soil. I’m happy with my purchase but would be wary of using it for a job with hard topsoil.

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 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.
EDIT: Day Two of tiller use and I like it even more, I started tilling my future vegie patch this morning and worked out the machine’s quirks, first off, hold it back, and follow it very slowly, second, definitely retill the soil after the first tilling, it really digs in and tills well the second time, The only thing that stopped me today was when a bunch of synthetic twine that was buried in our back yard completely wrapped up the tines and had to be cut out, the machine stopped itself. After removing the twine I started it up and there had been no damage.
EDIT2: Used the tiller again, and have upgraded my rating from 4 stars to 5. While tilling, a massive chunk of buried concrete about 8×8 inches, by 2.5 inches thick became jammed in between the tines and the motor, and I do mean jammed, the tines had literally dug into the concrete about half an inch. The motor stopped itself, and after 20 minutes of pounding on the concrete from different angles with a mallet it finally wrenched free, I assumed it would be destroyed but the tines hadn’t even been bent, I plugged it in and started up without a hitch, used it for another half an hour. SO impressed!
