Earthwise TC70025 7.5-Inch 2.5-Amp Corded Electric Tiller/Cultivator, 7.5-Inch, 2.5-Amp Corded, Grey

I needed a tiller. I'm old and slow. The days of digging with a shovel and wrenching a hoe in my garden are over. I still love to be out in the dirt and my flower garden and also vegetable garden.I did a lot of research. I did a lot of comparison. The unit I purchased is a beast. I've rented tillers in the past and they are monsters. They're too big. I wanted something I can get around my existing plants but I also wanted something that I could dig and move dirt to contour some of the hilly area of my flower garden. Then I also needed a tiller too to stir up and dig up last year's garden and mix in new new soil and fertilizer.Let's get real. This unit was extremely simple to put together. Large brightly colored wing nuts and simple assembly. NO MESSING AROUND ADJUSTING AND SECURING THE BLADES OR ANY OF THE DIGGING COMPONENTS. You're simply attaching the handle and getting the cord properly secured so you don't run over it. That's it.This thing digs and is quite impressive. I started out slow and within an hour or so I had it really working very well. It chewed up the clay and I was able to contour and put in a small pond.When you're operating this thing you need to be aware of roots and rocks underground. I never really forced the unit as it pulled and dug very efficiently. I cannot express how well this thing worked for an electric garden tiller. I could move through my azaleas and rhododendrons and lightly dig up the dirt but then again where I wanted to chew up the ground for new plantings this thing went down 8 in and chewed everything up.I highly recommend this unit!TODAY'S 4*11*24 AND I HAVE AN UPDATE ON MY BAD BOY TELLER. I COULD NOT BE MORE IMPRESSED AND ABSOLUTELY PLEASED WITH MY UNIT /TELLER. IT HANDLES SO EFFORTLESSLY YOU JUST HAVE TO HANG ON TO IT WHILE THE BLADE DID TO YOUR DESIRED DEPTH. I USED IT FOR A WHILE AND THEN PULLED THE PIN SO IT COULD GO FREEFORM AND DIG DEEPER. I HAVE ACTUALLY CONTOURED MY GARDEN WHICH IS VERY HILLY AND I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LEVEL IT OUT, THIS THING WORKS BEAUTIFULLY! I DON'T RUN IT MORE THAN AN HOUR OR SO AT A TIME. I MAKE SURE THE BLADES ARE CLEAR OF PLASTIC STRINGS AND WHATEVER JUNK THEY PICK UP. YOU CAN WASH IT WITH A GARDEN HOSE BUT A BRUSH CLEANS THE BLADES QUITE NICELY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS UNIT, THIS BRAND, THIS SIZE, BECAUSE IT ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO WORK AROUND YOUR EXISTING PLANTS AND STIR UP THE DIRT. A+ PLUS PLUS PLUS PLUS

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.

Stopped working after several times use. Works good when it’s working

We garden in raised beds, 3' x 8'. A conventional tiller is too large, and would destroy the bedframes. I had a small gas-powered "Mantis-Type" tiller, but it was 1,200 miles away. In addition, We live in the woods near a lake, and not only do I like quiet but our neighbors do as well.A quick search on Amazon for an electric tiller with high ratings turned up the Earthwise tiller. It arrived quickly, and assembled easily (note: instructions were a bit "meh", and if you get one put the auxillary handle on *before* you put the wing nut on the upper/lower handle parts!). Other than that little speedbump, it went together in a snap, and was ready for a test.The first raised bed I used it on was starting to deteriorate after years of use (and hungry carpenter ants). I was hoping to get one more season out of the frames with minor repairs. Using a pitchfork to turn the soil damaged two other frames to major repair status, so now it was time to see what the tiller would do.Happy dance!!! The 7.5 inch tilling width is perfect for the raised beds. The tiller is super-easy to control, and because it pulls the soil *back*, my poor creaky beds will make it through the season.If you are looking for a tiller to do a large garden or lawn, or if you have an aversion to using a wired tool, this may not be for you. If you are looking for a great little tiller for small spaces that's light, quiet and easy to handle, this is your answer.Disclaimer: I purchased this tiller at Amazon's posted price. I'm not affiliated to Earthwise in any way. Also, please don't be an idjit and use an electrical tool outside in a rainstorm or overly wet conditions, unless you're looking for a Darwin Award.

This is a great little cultivator for the price. I previously had a small gas tiller and when we sold our large home with large garden beds, we gave it away. Now, we’re in a townhome and have some smaller dedicated garden beds that we’re planting.I used this to till in some bags of compost and turn up the soil. There’s good loam and this tiller easily dug down more than 6” deep. If you hit and grab a stone the tiller will stop and chatter. You’ll need to pull out the stone but it’s pretty easy to clear.All-in-all I’m very pleased with the purchase and would buy it again in a heartbeat.
