Earthwise TC70001 11-Inch 8-1/2 Amp Electric Tiller/Cultivator Helps Save Time On Getting Your Garden All Set

By Omar Bryant


Any time you till the soil in your garden regularly, you can save time by using the Earthwise TC70001 11-Inch 8-1/2 Amp Electric Tiller/Cultivator. The device is actually electric meaning no gas fumes or loud motors running. The tiller/cultivator has a tilling depth of 8 1/2 inches and a cutting width of 11 inches which makes it a great option for just about all home gardens.

Many people buy this tiller because of the many favorable reviews, but still are surprised at how well it performs. It is quite uncomplicated to set up, and different people have different solutions on how to keep the electric cord out-of-the-way. The tiller is lightweight and therefore easy to transfer from place to place. Because it is featherweight, it does commonly bounce a lot on the hard surface. Because it is an inexpensive tiller, the quality should not be compared to much more expensive, heavy-duty gas powered tillers.

A few of the evaluators found the best way for it to work, was to let the tiller pull itself forward, and then drag it back. As a result, the tines will have a chance to dig to the maximum capacity but due to the lightweight, if it hits rocks or roots, the tiller will jump a lot. It is recommended that you use eye protection since dirt and small rocks will go into your face. Crab grass could be the biggest downside to this tiller since it has a tendency to get the tiller clogged. To cut out the crab grass from the tines, you might need box cutters though you need to be careful considering that the gearbox may have overheated. You may find yourself spending a lot of time cleaning out the tines.

You may be annoyed if you find yourself spending too much time removing roots and grass when you are trying to till an area. If you are using the tiller on a hard surface, you may find yourself being severely bruised or battered due to the jumping around. It can be a different story in a flower bed, where tilling topsoil proceeds rather easily and quickly. A good recommendation may be to use this tiller for existing flower beds, and if you have sod that needs to be broken up, get something that is larger and more powerful, such as a heavy-duty, gas-powered machine.

When you've got a booming garden and want something to help maintain the soil, then the Earthwise TC70001 11-Inch 8-1/2 Amp Electric Tiller/Cultivator is a good option. If you happen to know what the limitations are, you should find the tiller to be of great value.
