Electric Garden Tiller that actually uses a cord, has anyone used one or have any experience with one?

I have just a small garden spot and I have been working it up and turning it ovah with shovel for years. The ground is well loosened up and isn't like breaking up new ground.

It would be nice to have an electric because of no maintence, gas, oil changing etc.. Plug in and go. Any help would be appreciated.

I have had an electric Mantis for 20 years. Love it. Works great and there are a ton of attachments from edging to lawn dethatcher.

It is also quiet so I can work in my garden early in the day and not break city noise regulations.

Check one out on Youtube.

Used one once that had a heavy 32v battery high above the times. Had to wrestle it because it was so top heavy. A corded tiller might be great proved power is nearby.

I've used this Green Works tiller for two years and it works great in my raised beds.

I had one that was made by DR that lasted about 6 years. The one I bought to replace it is a Earth Wise from menards. They are really handy for small gardens. Cost around 100$.

I have a Sun Joe works good in an established garden. I had it in the corner of the shed for a few years without ever trying it. I used it this year and it worked good. I wish I had tried it before.

Beautiful! I'm getting ordered today. The ground is been established in a garden for years and is loose soil, so it should be fine. I'm tired of all the gas engines to maintain, so this will be nice to use it and put away for next year.

I have a Ryobi 40V weed whip I got mainly to take care of our families graves. I wonder if they will come out with a battery operated tiller. Anyway, cool tillers, I didn't know there were electric ones.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

How strong are they compared to the gas powered rototillers?

The ones I've seen are small made for small jobs. They do have battery power ones.
