Earthwise TC70001 11-Inch 8-1/2 Amp Electric Tiller/Cultivator: It Will Conserve Time Getting Your Garden Ready

By Rudy Rusiecki


If you plow the soil in your garden on a regular basis, you can save time by using the Earthwise TC70001 11-Inch 8-1/2 Amp Electric Tiller/Cultivator. It is electrical, which means you don't have to put up with the gas fumes or the loud noise. The cutting width is 11 inches and the depth of the tilling is 8 1/2 inches, making it ideal for your gardening needs.

Though this unique tiller is endorsed by many customers, people are still surprised at the impressive quality. It is not challenging to install and the utility cord can be easily kept out of the way. Typically the tiller is light and portable and therefore easy to transport from place to place. Since it is featherweight, it does tend to bounce a lot on the hard surface. Since it is an inexpensive tiller, the quality can't be compared to much more steeply-priced, heavy-duty gas powered tillers.

Some of the reviewers found the best way for it to work, was to let the tiller pull itself forward, and then drag it back. What's going to happen is the tines are going to be allowed to dig in to the maximum limit however, due to the lightweight, if it hit a rock or root, the tiller will jump quite a bit. The guidebook recommends that you wear eye protection, and you should since pebbles and dirt get thrown up in your face. Crab grass could be the biggest downside to this tiller since it is likely to get the tiller clogged. You might have to make use of box cutters to take it out of the tines, which is made tougher by the gearbox overheating. You might find yourself spending time and effort cleaning up the tines.

According to the area being required to be tilled, it can take a while, if you need to stop to clear roots and grass out of the tines. Also, due to all of the jarring you receive with the tiller jumping all over the place, when being used on hard ground, you may end up bruised and battered. However it is effective for a flower bed given that topsoil is easy to work with. If you have a flower bed put in, using this is a good solution, but if you need to break up harder soil, then you may need something more heavy-duty.

When you have a successful 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. Provided that you take your time, and don't expect more out of this machine than you should, it will do the job for you and make your gardening more pleasurable.
