Powerful but Easy to Control
Don't be fooled by the small, compact design of the Mantis Electric Tiller/Cultivator. Though it weighs a mere 21 pounds and has a width of only nine inches, the Mantis is powerful, thanks to its three-speed electric motor.A reliable push-button primer will get you started, but the tines won't move until you squeeze the throttle. Once you've activated the throttle, the patented serpentine tines spin at up to 240 RPM to break through sod--even hard clay--tilling down to a depth of 10 inches. The Mantis Electric Tiller/Cultivator makes it easy to maintain your garden. Simply reverse the tines to shallow-cultivate depths of up to three inches--it's much faster than using hand tools. And because it tills a nine-inch-wide path, this tool is especially useful in tight spaces and hard-to-reach areas. That's a real advantage for raised-bed gardeners. Convenient, Versatile, and Durable
The Mantis Electric Tiller/Cultivator features folding handle bars which make it convenient to store in a garage or tool shed. And with optional attachments (sold separately), the Mantis Electric Tiller/Cultivator can be used beyond the confines of your garden. Its lightweight design and convenient carrying handle make it portable, so adding an accessory such as a border edger or lawn aerator could potentially keep you busy all summer and into the fall. The Mantis Electric Tiller/Cultivator's durable one-piece cast gear box is designed to last. Additionally, the tines are guaranteed against breakage for the lifetime of the tool. What's in the Box

 Mantis Electric Tiller April 17, 2010
Michael A. Beatty (Inglewood, CA, US)
Excellent tiller. It gets the job done with little effort. It smoothes the dirt just right for a vegetable garden. I am glad I purchased it.
and then some June 21, 2010

Wow, did this product live up to it's billing! I've used their gas powered tiller for years, but due to a shoulder injury I am no longer able to use a pull start machine. The electric tiller had just as much power as the gas engine, and the power cord wasn't nearly the trouble that I thought it might be. A definite must for those with established areas needing a small tiller!
 Good. . .but not great March 16, 2010

This is a good powerful tiller, but if you use it to do any serious gardening, the brushes in the motor will 'burn up' and need replacing. Use for no more than 10 minutes at a time, and let it cool off for at least a half hour (in the shade) before you use it again. I have two that 'burned up' after four months of use. I am hoping I can replace the brushes myself for less than what it would cost to return it under Mantis's one year guarantee (which I suspect they will be retracting in the future).
 Sent it back right away April 17, 2010

Amazon shipping sent the tiller in the original carton with no over wrap. I was suspect as I viewed the holes in the carton and the loose tape. After looking in, I was convinced that this tiller would not do the job that I originally planned for. I went out and rented a mid-tine tiller from Home Depot to do the job. I appreciate the Mantis name and reputation, but I planned a 20 by 20 foot garden and wanted to 'till' through grass to start the garden. After a quick look....this was not ever going to do the job. The rented tiller with the Honda gas engine and 60 lbs of weight was still a work out, but I am so glad to have used it instead of this narrow lightweight machine.
This is a cultivator for an established garden and no more.
