Sun Joe TJ603E 16-Inch 12-Amp Electric Tiller and Cultivator, Green

After a week of shoveling, and attempting to prepare a 30 ft. long area along my fence, and several other areas for fall planting (in very hard, dry, California clay soil where nothing grows well), I realized I needed help. What I used to be able to do when I was younger, had gotten a bit harder. I had previously seen a demo of another model of the Sun Joe advertised on QVC, and thought it looked to good to be true. They were tilling soft soil. But, I desperately needed help and hiring someone to help didn't fit my budget. I decided to do some research on different Sun Joe models and found this one to have very good ratings on Amazon, and the price was amazing, especially if it did what everyone said. Long story short, I ordered it Saturday, and it was delivered Monday. I unpacked it this morning and it took only 15 minutes to assemble. I have already used it to till along the fence and I was amazed! It honestly does a great job, even in my bad soil. That said, I'm thankful for the previous reviews and advice to water the dryer areas ahead time in preparation. That turned out to be perfect as I just spent an hour tilling, and the soil that I wet down a couple of days tilled with no problem. The hard dry soil did not. It threw the tiller. I'm watering the dry areas now, and will try again in a couple of days. This 59 year old woman is very happy! I was able to carry the Sun Joe in its box, as delivered, into my house, assemble it, adjust the wheels, carry it out back, attach the extension cord, and start tilling within an hour. It started up easily, and really dug through the soil. I can't wait for my soil amendments to be delivered tomorrow so I can use the Sun Joe to work them in and get planting. Thanks Amazon and all of you who posted your ratings and comments. You saved me weeks of hard work!

Wanted a cheap, small tiller for the garden - this one does the trick. Got it for an amazing price on a Warehouse Deal(thanks whoever returned it for the dinged up box, the tiller was in perfect condition), works like a charm. Used it on a garden patch that hasn't really been touched in a few years but a couple passes and it was all torn up and ready for use again. Yeah, pull it backwards to really let it do its job but that is pretty standard with these smaller tillers. No complaints with this one - does what I need.

Me gustó su potencia, es ms fácil dar tierra cuando riegas unos 2 días antes de usarlo más fácil para el equipo y menos cansado para el operador .... Muele las hojas de los árboles no al 100 pero ayuda a iniciar el proceso de compostaje generalmente en de 15 a 30 min me llevo darle tierra a cada árbol... Yo lo ame me ha servido mucho

As a starter, I am not one of those people who frequently comments or rates things that I buy on Amazon. We received our Sun Joe today (lovingly named Josephine), and tried it out on our raised beds. Like a lot of other reviews state, this thing is a beast! If you are looking for a smaller tiller, this is your choice! A few things I love about her: 1. It's light. I can easily pick this up and set it into my raised beds, and move it between beds. It's got great handles on it to grab it with (nothing that digs into your fingers, bonus!), and isn't awkward to carry. 2. For being a tiller, it's fairly quiet. Has that electric motor sound to it... think Shop Vac, but a little quieter. 3. It really chews up the dirt. Our first bed, we thought would be easy. Previously an onion bed, with little 'garbage' left from last year. No issue. Finished with our last bed, which didn't work out last year, and had a summer's worth of hard grass mat and clumps of old beets. Boom. Done. Another bed had last year's big tomato stems and root balls in it, and Josephine easily tore through it. 4. Although a little rough at the start (legit, this thing is powerful, like powerful), once you figure out how to use it, it's really easy to use. Watch it around the wooden borders of a raised bed (nothing major will happen, but it will bounce off the wood and surprise you), but it gets really close to the edges, meaning less weeding! It moves through soil like butter. I recommend doing a couple passes if you are looking to break down/incorporate new soil, but that won't take long! I will be using this in my in-ground bed for weeding between rows as the summer passes, but require the depth of my bigger Honda to work in some new manure and dig the clay of Northern Ontario. That said, this tiller would be great for any gardener looking for an easier option to work the ground.

Muy buen producto, trabaja muy bien, trabajamos en un jardín como de 500 m2 y en 2 días lo terminamos, mucho muy fácil el trabajo con este aparato
