Review:
This little bugger exceeded my expectations! I tilled the entire 20 x 20 garden on a single charge. A future improvement might be an adjustable handle. I am 5 foot 10 and found the handle to be a bit too long for comfort. I found that the tool worked best if I let it walk forward and then pulled it backwards. I also own the 80 volt leaf blower, string trimmer, and snowblower and they are all fantastic tools. my only complaint for the entire product line is that the batteries will not charge if left in the cold garage. Thus I have to move them inside when it gets very cold out. Even with that minor drawback I highly recommend these products.
2. BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Tiller (LGC120)
Review:
I love working in the yard and have bought several different hand powered hoes, garden weasels, rake or what not to help turn the soil in the flowerbeds. I buy commercial quality lawn and garden equipment and do not like cheaply made stuff. My back has seen better days and physical work makes my lower back ache and the pain can be severe at times. I saw this cultivator accidentally while looking for seed on Amazon, liked the idea and thought I’d try it.
The blades do not actually spin in circles but instead twist back and forth. I am amazed how well it works. It is very comfortable and easy to hold while it’s working. I let the tool do the work and can do all my flowerbeds without tearing up my back. It tears and uproots weeds and grass the beds too. The battery lasts a fair amount of time. I have Black and Decker’s 20 volt leaf blower as well and it takes the same battery and uses the same charger. So now I have two batteries I can use on either tool.
I am really pleased with this and how well it works. It is my new favorite tool for sure.

Review:
I use this product to till up my backyard and what a job it did this is a little champ of a cordless tiller and works very well I’m glad I got it. It doesn’t take long to charge exactly 30 minutes as said in the manual and you work for 30 minutes and you let it charge for 30 minutes it’s very good. Whoever designed this baby deserves a 25% raise from the Company.

Review:
Got it today. Assembly was easy! Batteries were charged. So it is different than our gas tiller- but it is a good little tiller, especially for me. Easy for this ok’d gal to handle. I noted some quirks but I will wait to see if they work themselves out. I think i will use it more than I thought I would because it is so manageable. But READ the instructions!!!!! There are differences from my other battery operated tools.

Review:
Yesterday, I used it to go in between rows of my fall garden. My regular tiller would of tilled up 1 the rows. Today I tried it 2 ways. 1 pull tall weeds and grass. 2. Don’t pull tall weeds. Tilling the tall weeds, it doesn’t take long for them to wrap around tines and stop it. Tilling with tall weeds pulled, this little thing does a good job. On hard ground it will bounce and jump. Hold it there it it will get it tilled. If you let till too deep, rock it up and it will move on. I didn’t time how long I used it. I am more than satisfied with the amount of time batteries last. Batteries were still up, 2 bars 1st day, 1 bar today. Assembly is a breeze. I put handles on reverse of instructions. Seems more logical and works for me. I would recommend this tiller. Keep in mind, I’ve only used it 2 days. I can’t speak on longevity of it.
