 Amazing garden tool July 21, 2008
Coffee lover (New York City)
It's amazing that so much power can come from a device so small. Very easy to use; saves your back! I didn't find that the cord management system was necessary. Very pleased.

This tiller is the best new toy I've had in a long time! It came in record time, was very easy to figure out, and then turned out to be far better than advertised! The part of gardening I hated was preparing the land, as ours is full of big, tough roots and lots of stones. With the new tiller, I made a new garden in the middle of the lawn in a couple of hours! The grass is ridiculously matted, and this thing went right through. Roots and rocks don't phase it, so if anything, you have to be careful just so you don't push it too hard. I'm very pleased with the company and with the machine, and am considering the aerator attachment already. But first, I'll see if I can get the border part to work better - I think this may take more arm strength to keep the machine straight than I have! Then again, it may well be our matted yard!
Great product - I highly recommend it!

Mantis Tiller meets all my expectations August 12, 2008

I purchased this tiller after reading reviews at several internet locations. The Amazon price is excellent, it costs about $50 more direct from the manufacturer (but that comes with a 1-year satisfaction guarentee).
However, I do not need that guarentee - I am satisfied already. The machine is easy to assemble with both written and video (DVD) instructions included.
The tiller is easy to operate, and surprisingly powerful. I am using it to break up dry, clay soil. I wet it the night before, and the tiller quietly and quickly pulverizes the soil, making it easy to work, amend and prepare for new landscaping. The kickstand is handy, if a little wobbly.
I wanted an electric tiller, because I do not like dealing with the hassle of gasoline (storage, starting, maintenance). The electric tiller needs a power cord, is quiet and clean (no smell).
Mantis provides excellend product support. I submitted a few email inquiries, and a representative responded within a day with clear, concise answers to my questions.
This product might cost more than competing electric tillers, but I think the money is well spent. I am very happy with the purchase. I enthusiastically recommend this product!
The Mantis factory is located in Pennsylvania, so I think it is made in the US.
Love this tiller August 19, 2008

I love, love, love this tiller. I don't know why I waited so long to buy it. It is the perfect size for me. I received it on Friday and had already tilled two new flower beds by Sunday. I have Bermuda sod which is very evil. The tiller went right through it. I only had to stop once to remove grass from around the tines. The power is unbelievable. I don't find the extension cord to be a hindrance. I tried using a gas powered, very heavy tiller in the spring and could not manage it. The Mantis electric tiller has done everything I need it to do. I will admit that I did not put it together. A neighbor did that for me and he did complain about the directions being bad but I also know that he did not watch the dvd included with the tiller.
