Scotts Outdoor Power Tools TC70001S Electric Tiller, 11-Inch, 8.5-Amp, Green

Best tiller that i have used.Quick and easy to assemble.Plug in and get ready to go make sure you have a good grip because this bad boy has plenty of power but not in a dangerous way.While using just keep moving so you will not dig a hole.A must for cultivating earth for veggies,flowers or just overall tilling.

assembled it (easy) tried it out Wow for an electric tiller it is GREAT tilled up my garden in about 15 minutes it even tore through the grass roots and was easy to clean the tines good value for the money very powerful for its size works great compact design made it easy to use am very happy with this purch

Assembly was easy. Only a Philips head screwdriver is needed. The tiller is powerful. It tills faster than an old Honda gas tiller it replaced. However, it is much lighter and needs to be restrained or it will take off running. It is adequate for tilling a modest garden. If putting in a lawn, rent a large gasoline powered tiller as this tiller is too small for such a task.

Very pleased with how well this worked in my garden. It allows me to get in between the plants and get the weeds out.

I have small spaces in my yard that need to be turned over every spring, this tool was robust and easy to use in those small garden plots. Even my brother who is a neighborhood handy man is going to use it next season!

Assembled the tiller only to find that it wouldn't start. Ok, slightly frustrated. Checked the power cord and outlet. All working. Next, I take the power assembly apart to find the 5 cent piece of plastic that serves as a plunger to make starting connection is broken. Searched the manufacturer website for replacement part. Nothing. Called the Scott's customer service number. After much searching for the model number, I'm told this tiller is actually made by American Lawn Mower and I'm given their number. At this point, I've lost hours of my life to this process and the weeds in my garden are mocking me. I call American Lawn Mower and told they can't do anything over the phone but I can submit a claim on their website. All lovely people but grrrrr. The actual process to submit a claim online is easy enough with a copy of receipt. I received a comparable Earthwise battery powered tiller within a week. That's the only positive part of my experience and thus one star. The Earthwise tiller is smaller and less powerful than Scott's (American Lawn Mower) tiller but gets the job done. Battery lasts about 15 minutes. I have a large garden area and ordered the corded tiller to avoid frequent battery charges. Another positive is that it arrived broken and didn't happen a few months later after the manufacturer's warranty had expired. Definitely would not purchase again.

I cleared 1/8 of an acre of brush with a bobcat and needed to prepare the soil for seed. I thought about renting a gas powered tiller, but they were $100 a day and I needed it for several days. Instead I took a chance with an electric, and I’m glad I did. This tiller worked flawlessly. Only thing this tiller did not like were heavy muck, large buried roots, and tall grasses.

the safety handle that you have to hold down for it to run can only be released if you totally let go of the machine. When it’s charging forward, letting go is a weird feeling especially if it’s going toward something that you don’t want to run over.The safety handle should be somewhere other than the top side of the bar so you can release it and still maintain control. Like the underside of the main handle.
