2.5-Amp Corded Small Tiller

This compact tiller is fantastic! It’s lightweight and easy to maneuver, but don’t let the size fool you—it has plenty of power to break up tough soil and get the garden beds ready in no time. I was amazed at how quickly it loosened hard ground and worked in compost, saving me hours of backbreaking labor with a shovel. The design makes it simple to handle, even in tight spaces or between rows, and storage is a breeze because of its smaller footprint. It starts up reliably and runs smoothly without a lot of noise or vibration. For anyone who wants a dependable, easy-to-use tiller without the bulk of a full-size machine, this is a perfect choice. It’s been a great investment for my garden!

I’m 71 years old. I need light weight lawn care equipment. This corded tiller/cultivator was perfect. Easy to assemble. Easy to control. Quiet. Did a fantastic job scuffing up a few inches depth of topsoil over a 200 square foot area. End result was an area quickly prepared for planting grass seed. I’ll have few other uses for it around my home which is why a corded version works best for me.

Works great, small, light and powerful for small tight areas!

I was leery with some of the other reviews but this thing is great. It’s a lot like a dog on a leash that is trained to dig where you want it too. Very little effort if you are just patient and let it do it’s thing. I was worried about other comments with plastic gears and noise. If you overload or ask it to do too much a clutch kicks in similar to on a cordless screw driver. This happened for every root and some rocks. Like most tillers it digs up on each side and leaves the middle untouched. Doing stripes or crisscross eliminates the issue. In my use case, there was a 16” strip on each side of a fence I had installed. It replaced a hedge and between the stump grinder, fence installer, and the fact it was muddy made quite a mess. Fast forward six months to when I finally want to seed it. Now the ground is dry and packed. There were high spots and low spots, drop offs where the stump grinder ground up grass, and clay piles from the post holes. This little tiller did 250’ of this with no complaints, tilling through established grass and dry packed clay. It would have been easier in places if I would have watered and come back. Long grass winds around the tines and stops it. Some places I was 6-8” deep, others I just ran over the grass to help with over seeding. Often I went through grass to make it easy to level out. Was able to get right up against fence boards without hitting them. So glad I picked this over the bigger version. Only real drawback is that you have to set it clear down on the ground when you put it down. Kick stand would be nice.

Love this little tiller. Super easy to put together. So easy to use. I have recently retired and my flower beds had not been properly taken care of for a few years. This little dude tore through the hard dirt like it was nothing. There were some vines wrapped around the tines but that did not slow it down a bit. It did jam with a big rock got stuck but , wedged that out and it kept working like a champ. Light weight to use for us older folks and does a great job. Just tilled in some compost a few days ago. I am very pleased with the depth this tiller. Has way more power than I expected. And it’s electric so runs quietly.

This small electric tiller is perfect for my 26 X 8 ft no rocks sandy soil garden. I had trouble putting the handle into the bottom-the plastic cover plate would not line up with the 2 screw holes. Oh no. So I started checking the Amazon reviews to see if others had this problem and how they solved it. Oh no. Had to start scrolling through many reviews to find ones for this model and many had same problem I did and their solutions were not satisfactory to me. I wanted this thing to work, I didn't want to send it back or file it down or tap with hammer. Reviews said customer service was no good. I googled it and found it is made by American Lawn Mower Company. I went to their site and called customer service got an immediate very friendly response and the solution to the problem which I wrote this review to help others considering buying this wonderful tiller. Pushing the handle into the motor part engages the 2 prong electrical contacts. I didn't have it pushed in far enough which is why the holes wouldn't line up for the plastic cover piece to snap in. The company rep guy said to turn it upside down and push hard. This is awkward because of the tines but I managed and it worked and the cover snapped right in. YAY!!! I tried it out today. It works GREAT. I have some mint, thick clover like weeds and snow in summer ground cover, all these clogged up the tines quickly. So I'm going to have to dig these out manually, but once I get these out I'm fat city ha ha meaning I'll never have to weed my garden manually again because with this tiller I'll easily be able to keep up with it. Electric version works for my needs also. It handled like a weed eater not awkward at all. The tiller mixed in compost like a dream. I'm a 67 year old female who was ready to give up my garden because weeding and shoveling my back is done with. So I am so happy. I would like to repeat I have sandy no rock soil-the easiest type of soil, I don't know how this performs with hard soil.

Didn't want the cost and hassle of transporting a much larger rental unit, so I took a chance buying this little tiller for my new lawn project and it almost payed off. After stripping the old sod with a hoe, I spent two days tilling the underlying soil to provide a bed for the new sod. The Earthwise unit lasted about 85 percent of the project area before it began shorting out at the junction where the handle enters the base. When it was working, it did exactly what I asked of it, but in all honesty, I was asking too much. All and all, it was a cheaper alternative than renting, but I'm going to have to do some major rewiring to get it working again. This would be a good small garden tiller for reworking soil at the beginning of the season, but if you're looking to do a larger project you'll need to go larger.

This thing is perfect for a home gardener. It's easy to manage and has plenty of power. It makes planting things so much easier. Cultivating the soil makes it so much more fertile for planting. Another thing I use it for is planting small trees. My wife had about a 25 gallon cherry tree. I used the cultivator to break up the ground where I was planting it. I would break up the ground, remove the soil, then break it up some more, and remove that until I was at the depth I needed. It was much easier to dig the hole with the soil all loose. I love this thing and use it every year.

It works very well. Does a great job of breaking up tough soil. Save a lot on manual labor!

It was not mentioned in the product details that it works on 110 volt electricity, and I bought it on the basis that it was 220 volts, like most modern devices, and also not 50/60 h, but only 60 h, which makes it impossible for me to use it at all.

This machine would be ideal except it is. 120 v no good for england

Easy to store, easy to use! Does the job perfectly! Great little tool! Highly recommended!
