Scotts Outdoor Power Tools TC71420S Tiller, 20-Inch, 14-Amp, Green

I cleared 1/8 of an acre of brush with a bobcat and needed to prepare the soil for seed. I thought about renting a gas powered tiller, but they were $100 a day and I needed it for several days. Instead I took a chance with an electric, and I’m glad I did. This tiller worked flawlessly. Only thing this tiller did not like were heavy muck, large buried roots, and tall grasses.

Best tiller that i have used.Quick and easy to assemble.Plug in and get ready to go make sure you have a good grip because this bad boy has plenty of power but not in a dangerous way.While using just keep moving so you will not dig a hole.A must for cultivating earth for veggies,flowers or just overall tilling.

Assembly was easy. Only a Philips head screwdriver is needed. The tiller is powerful. It tills faster than an old Honda gas tiller it replaced. However, it is much lighter and needs to be restrained or it will take off running. It is adequate for tilling a modest garden. If putting in a lawn, rent a large gasoline powered tiller as this tiller is too small for such a task.

My mom is hitting her 90’s but loves her garden . I got this tiller for her as a gift . The tiller ripped though Arizona caliche with no problems . The soil had a hard salt layer that is no more. . The secret, I think is to let the tiller come up to speed before lowering to the soil . If you don’t the tiller will try and run way on you . She now has a raised garden that has never been seen before . .

Makes tilling garden so much easier for older individuals!

Assembled the tiller only to find that it wouldn't start. Ok, slightly frustrated. Checked the power cord and outlet. All working. Next, I take the power assembly apart to find the 5 cent piece of plastic that serves as a plunger to make starting connection is broken. Searched the manufacturer website for replacement part. Nothing. Called the Scott's customer service number. After much searching for the model number, I'm told this tiller is actually made by American Lawn Mower and I'm given their number. At this point, I've lost hours of my life to this process and the weeds in my garden are mocking me. I call American Lawn Mower and told they can't do anything over the phone but I can submit a claim on their website. All lovely people but grrrrr. The actual process to submit a claim online is easy enough with a copy of receipt. I received a comparable Earthwise battery powered tiller within a week. That's the only positive part of my experience and thus one star. The Earthwise tiller is smaller and less powerful than Scott's (American Lawn Mower) tiller but gets the job done. Battery lasts about 15 minutes. I have a large garden area and ordered the corded tiller to avoid frequent battery charges. Another positive is that it arrived broken and didn't happen a few months later after the manufacturer's warranty had expired. Definitely would not purchase again.

assembled it (easy) tried it out Wow for an electric tiller it is GREAT tilled up my garden in about 15 minutes it even tore through the grass roots and was easy to clean the tines good value for the money very powerful for its size works great compact design made it easy to use am very happy with this purch

Meh.....Not powerful enough to do the weeding in my garden. It kept getting bogged up with roots, stones, anything that got in it's way. I expect it would do well in already tilled, fluffy garden dirt. It just doesn't have the power I was looking for. I am returning it.
