MZK 20V Cordless Tiller Cultivator with Steel Tines,8-inch Wide Battery Powered Garden Cultivator, 360RPM Electric Mini Tiller for Lawn/Gardening/Soil Cultivation(2 * 2AH Battery&Charger Included)

I'm 78 (female) and bought this because I'm just getting too old to use the pitchfork to turn the garden & too stubborn to hire someone to come in and rototill. I'll do it when I want vs waiting on someone else. I searched many types, didn't want to fool around with gas pull or electric cord. Battery operation was a plus. Also a plus was the weight - about 9#. I watched the videos and figured I could handle this. It came packaged as advertised, assembled quickly & both batteries had a full charge. My garden is just under 225 sq ft. the 1st battery did most of it but I had to use the 2nd for an area that hadn't been turned in quite a while. This machine pulled up weeds & roots and rocks the size of lemons didn't phase it. The 1st battery recharged in 4-5 hours & the other charged overnight. Starting at the worst area the next day I did that again & used up 1 battery but the 2nd battery allowed me to finish the full area a second time. It dug deep and I was very happy with this machine. Sturdy & easy to use.

I love my new tiller! Easy to put together, easy handling. I tilled an area in my yard that was grasses. It even pulled the roots out, went down abt 6inches. I used my grass as mulch for my vegetable garden. Get the one with 2 batteries. One battery only lasts abt 20 mins.

Works better than expected. Used it to till an existing raised garden bed (10x10). Took about 7 minutes. Went down 6-8 inches. Any small rocks that were in the way just got pushed to the side. Still had 3 out of 4 bars of battery left. Tines were sharp and didn't get bogged down. The reason I only gave it 4 out of 5 stars is related to the assembly. There were 2 screw down locking handles (one on the bottom rod and one on the top rod). There should only be one on the top. Needed to unscrew and remove the one on the bottom in order to connect both portions of tiller and screw down top one to lock in place. Not a big deal once I realized there was an extra one and watched a video that showed the same issue. And the washer that collapses when tightening the handle was a separate piece and not attached to the handle as seen in the Amazon videos. Aside from that confusion, everything works well. Battery charges easily. Light on the plug shows red (needs charging) or green (fully charged). Also, little button on battery that lets you see who much charge is left. Just press once and it shows battery life that's left. Light goes off automatically. Nice touch. Overall, decent product for our needs and easy to use. Just watch the videos in the thumbnails on this site to see assembly which wil make it simple. (photo of extra handle attached)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It is the perfect size for me. I have only had for one week and have used it 4 times. It does a great job.

Perfect weight and size for my raises beds. At 69 years old, I've gone to raised bed gardening. This tool was so easy to assemble compared to the other brand I sent back. My large raised beds are 4' x 8'. Turned the whole bed in less than 5 minutes. (I went through twice) The shield is well placed to keep dirt from flying everywhere. I should of gotten this year's ago!

Let me start off by saying that I'm not a big fan of electric yard equipment, and I really didn't expect much from this unit...but I was very much surprised!!! For it's size and battery power, this thing is a beast!! it cut through my flower beds, which have been untouched for three years, and turned the soil over without slowing down at all. although I didn't time it, one battery lasted through two 50 foot by 2 foot stretches with power to spare and into a third section. Money well spent, since the space was too narrow to use my gas powered rototiller. Highly recommended. only two minor negatives to report.... 1) it pulled up a rock which wedged in between the tines and the dirt shield, and since there is no way to reverse the direction or freewheel the tines< I had to pound out the rock with a hammer and metal punch,,,,but only once in two 50 foot stretches. the other minus is that the the auxiliary handle on the shaft is hard to secure in place because the shaft is very smooth and it is almost impossible to tighten the clamp tight enough to keep it from moving around. Simple fix though is to find your "sweet spot" and wrap some type of "duct tape' or other material around the shaft to help the handle "get a grip"...easy peasy!!! Great little flower bed tiller, well worth the money!!

The tiller works great. I can use in tight spaces, which makes it very versatile. It was a good value for the money. Roots tend to wrap up in the blades, so be prepared to (safely) cut them out.One complaint: there were no gloves and no trowel, even though they are shown in the listing on the app.

Works as it should. Nice addition to gardening on an existing plot that has been loosened up. Using it as a hoe is a better description. Easy to use.The real downside is battery life. Very small capacity for the power it requires to operate efficiently other than on a room sized plot. You're lucky if it last between 15 and 20 minutes. So I made a major adjustment by modifying it so I am able to use "brand" name batteries with much larger capacities that powers all my other 20 volt tools. Huge difference.
