Editorial Review:
An incredibly lightweight tiller that has made gardening easier for millions, the Mantis Tiller was originally designed to help professional landscapers get their jobs done more quickly. The unit's durable, 20-pound tiller is a favorite of home gardeners all over the world. A reliable, easy-to-start engine features a true commercial-grade design with pushbutton priming for quick, easy starts, time after time. Equipped with a throttle-activated centrifugal clutch, the tines engage only when the throttle is squeezed, for more control and no threat of the runaway tiller. The unit's compact design makes it easy to till in tight quarters, flush with garage walls, inside raised garden beds, and snugly into sharp corners. And, at just 20 pounds, the Mantis weighs less than other tillers with no sacrifice in power. A 10-inch tilling depth means deeper working soil for healthier gardens. With the tiller revolving at 240 rpm, the tines make fast work of many gardening chores, easily cultivating or weeding a 30-by-40-foot garden in 20 minutes. Best of all, a patented, reversible serpentine pattern helps the Mantis dig deep into even the hardest soil, instead of bouncing around with no effect as inferior models do. Mantis covers the tines with a lifetime guarantee. --Brian D. Olson

Best Tiller For Small Areas This tiller was the best purchase ever. Small areas, flower beds, small gardens, edger--perfect...you will not be disappointed. Easy to assemble and disassemble for winter storage. Would definitely recommend.
One Terrific Tiller! For small around the house/yard plantings (shrubs, small trees, flowers) & for edging around trees, shrubs, & beds this tiller is about as handy as they come. It is lightweight, easy to use, & reliable for anyone willing to follow the directions for using it. I recommend it highly!
small but powerful I owned this tiller for 9 months. We already consumed vegetables (tomato, pumkin, squash) we grew in our backyard with the help of this machine.
Pros: powerful, lightweight but duable, easy to handle, overload protection.
Cons: expensive, not only tiller machine but also attachment if you need such as aerator. one star less is for the price.
Mantis Tiller I bought this tiller about 5 years ago, and although I don't use it much anymore, and it's sat unused in my garage for a year or more, I had a small tilling job the other day and it still works perfect.Mantis 120-Volt Electric Tiller with Border Edger #7250-02-02
