Sun Joe 24V Claw Tiller and Cultivator for Small Scale Gardening, Black, 24V-CTLR-LTE

Im 66 years old and have COPD, attempting to start my small gas tiller was exhausting. So I decided to look at electric tillers. After looking at the models on the market, prices, reviews, and options, I picked the sun joe 603E to use in building my new small family garden. I was pleasantly surprised and how well the 603 went through the hard soil and the depth that it achieved. I’ve used very large tellers as well as smaller handheld, the 603 worked as well as any gas unit that I’ve ever use of comparable size. Some of commented on the need to press the button to get it started. It’s no different than other safety mechanisms in gas operated tools. My garden is 8 feet wide by 16 feet long. I have no doubt this tiller could handle a garden two or three times that size. The handles are set comfortably (I’m 5’ 6”) and did not cause any strain on my wrist or back. The rear wheels have three level adjustments on them which I found really nice. While tilling, I put the wheels all the way up so that I could achieve maximum digging depth. The only drawback is of course the extension cord. However, if you pay attention to where that cord is while you’re tilling so that it doesn’t go under the blades, it works just fine. Again, extension cord management. So for anyone needing to tell a new garden start up or refresh the soil in the current garden, I highly recommend the sun Joe 603E. By the way the only difference I found in the 603E to that of the 604E is the 604E as a bit of a larger motor 12amp vs 13 amp) as well as a higher related cost. I my view, the small difference in motor size didn’t justify the cost increase. Happy gardening. JP

I’m a 71 year old grandma. First time ever using a tiller. Always thought I was not strong enough to till my garden, but I did it all by myself!!! Good feeling of accomplishment and those tomatoes and other veggies growing there are going to taste better than ever!
