Mantis 120-Volt Electric Tiller with Border Edger

Posted by Homer on April 6th, 2007 — Posted in Electric Garden Tiller, Garden Tiller

An incredibly lightweight electric tiller

This tiller has made gardening easier for millions, the Mantis Tiller was originally designed to help professional landscapers get their jobs done more quickly. electric-garden-tiller.jpg

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.

Customer Reviews

Electric refurbished model5
I am not one to write reviews, but i was so impressed with this tiller that i had to. I don’t know how i gardened so long without it. It is excellent at seed bed prep. One pass is all it takes. It just pulverized the soil in my raised beds. I also tried it in my wifes flower bed (i was looking for places to play with it)it did just as well in the rocky root strewn soil. It spit rocks out behind it and ground up 3/8 inch roots. It has a lot of tourqe for an electric motor. It is quiet of course. I checked all the different brands before buying the Mantis. I think it is the best value with the warranty etc. Mine came with the edger but i haven’t tried it yet. I also just ordered the aerator.
I would suggest it even for large gardens because of the seed bed prep and the tilling depth. 10 inches easy.

small garden tiller4
The mantis does very well for what it is intended. It’s a lightweight tiller and is excellent for small gardens. I have a small lot in an urban setting and I could use this tiller at 4 o’clock in the morning and my neighbors wouldn’t know it. The electric motor is that quiet.
Don’t expect it to till a field the size of a commercial garden it’s too small and would take you forever.

Mantis electric tiler5
Very easy to use. It’s a real workhorse. I am pleased with it.
