 Mantis tiller May 15, 2008
Lukes GOOD (Ft. Lauderdale, Fl & Riverside, CT.)
WOW....this little guy sure is a work horse. At first I had some reservations buying an elettric tiller. I am glad I did. The instructions were easy to follow (just read them and have all the parts laid out in front of you). I also purchased the recommned items and they sure help.
performs as or better than expected May 15, 2008
E. P. Allen (acworth, ga)
I did a lot of research before purchasing this. I got the electric one because I didn't want to deal with Another tool with oil/gas engine. I expected it to be bouncy because it is so light but it cuts through my unamended redclay. The mantis does get a little overheated with the burden of the heavy clay I mix with mulch. Overall, I am quite happy with this purchase
 Build Quality Suspect May 14, 2008

The video on the manufacturer's web site made it look like the Mantis electric could move mountains with ease Mantis 120-Volt Electric Tiller/Cultivator with Border Edger and Kickstand #7250-15-02. I purchased it to rip up my existing grass lawn with the intention of reseeding from scratch. Easier said than done. The effort was tough,exhausting and ultimately not worth it. It's too light weight for this task and probably better at moving a mole hill than a mountain.
Also, halfway through the task, the pin holding one of the wheels just flew off! It took nearly an hour of sifting through the dirt to find it.
I packed it up and sent it back to Amazon. Their return policy makes it easy; went online and arranged for UPS to pick it up at my house at no charge. Amazon has just issued me a credit.
Mantis tiller duty cycle May 13, 2008
Richard Lienau (Pecos, NM USA)
The electric tiller -- a basically good machine -- uses an under-rated DC motor with an under-rated rectifier (AC to DC converter)(should be ~25-30A vs 10A) with no electrolytic capacitor on the DC (output) side of the rectifier to reduce motor brush arcing. The motor overheats far too easily. The shroud is not opened enough to allow air in, nor is there a motor shaft fan to circulate it. Motor casing cooling fins might help. These factors, in part, cause the duty cycle to be about 30', even on a 60 degree day, which then drops to 2' cycles until the motor cools for more than an hour. Incidentally, the "support" people at Mantis, when queried, did not know what the term "duty cycle" means. Other than these factors, when the machine "wants to work," it does a good job. Too bad it doesn't have a good 1/2 HP AC motor with good cooling instead of the DC drive.

Mantis 120-Volt Electric Tiller/Cultivator with Border Edger and Kickstand #7250-15-02
This tiller exceeded my expectations. It has all the capabilities of a gas tiller I had previously, without the maintenance hassles. I have used it constantly this spring with no problems, and I love the instant starting. I will add the weed detanglers next year for sure. I would like to see them as part of the basic package as is the kickstand--a nice addition. I would recommend this to any gardener.
