Buyer Beware

By Kelly S.

Arkansas

Purchased 11/24/2023 |

Review Posted 12/04/2023

My review is for Mowers Direct, not the tiller I bought. The company sold a tiller to me for $345. By the time it was delivered the price had dropped to $200. Mowers Direct would not match the price. In order to return my tiller, I was told I would have to pay return shipping as well as reimbursing Mowers Direct for their “free shipping”. In total, if I were to return the item, I would be out nearly $100 and have nothing to show for it. I will never do business with this company again. Buyer, beware!

This has made our gardening so much easier and enjoyable. very powerful easy to start Honda 4 cycle motor. Little weight and easy to carry. Slim design allows tilling in tight spaces, under bushes, etc.

Just Right Tiller

By Diana A.

Purchased 09/11/2023 |

Review Posted 10/24/2023

Easy to use and put together. Did a great job on our big bed that had never been tilled. I'm a small person, was able to lift it and handle it without difficulty.

Did The Job Where We Couldn't Dig

By Joleen B.

California

Purchased 09/25/2023 |

Review Posted 10/21/2023

We had a really hard packed area with a hardpan that was impossible to dig. This ate through it. I wish it went deeper, but for its size, it is deeper than most. Anything larger and we wouldn't be able to maneuver in the small area. Very happy with it.

Awesome Machine

By Alexander S.

Ohio

Purchased 05/06/2023 |

Review Posted 05/30/2023

This radical machine totally shreds! I decided to order one and it arrived just in time for the start of another insane garden season. I've been able to get my favorite crops planted and growing in weed free broken down soil stress free because of this thing. It helps me in many ways to grow all types of fruit and vegetable crops from the beginning ground preparations to keeping the weeds down around my desired plants. It is so light I can run all around the garden with it and detail every spot to my liking.

Mantis Rototiller

By Samuel P.

Massachusetts

Purchased 03/11/2023 |

Review Posted 05/17/2023

I'd considered this hand rototiller for a number of years to replace my Gravely tractor after I downsized my vegetable garden. I finally succumbed this spring. It worked perfectly for the 20' by 20' plot, dug deeply, pulverized the earth nicely, and left the garden bed light and fluffy. Moreover, it only took a mere four hours, half the time I had spent in the past. Very good value. Easy to use. So glad I finally decided to give this rototiller a try.

Review Posted 04/09/2023

So far I love it. I hope it does as well or better than the last one I bought. It lasted about 14 years I just got tired of put it in the shop every year.
