 Perfect! Even for a little old lady! July 21, 2008
I purchased the Mantis for my mother-in-law, who is 78 years old. She loves to play in her Day Lilly's! She has had a Mantis for about 15 years now and well, she needed a new one. She simply wore the old one out! The Mantis really does give her the freedom to be able to plow around her yard and plant wherever her heart desires. My father-in-law loves it too! He's 81! He uses it to weed his vegetable garden and it tackles with no problem. The price was really good and it safely arrived in 5 days!

I can't even remember when I bought my Mantis, but it was at least 25 years ago. It has gotten hard use every year ever since. Mantis really stands behind their lifetime tine warranty; they replaced mine totally free of charge after at least 20 years without any questions. The new machines look almost identical to my ancient one. The amazing thing is that the price has hardly gone up at all. In todays dollars, that makes it a raging bargain. The machine is light enough for almost anyone to use it, but be prepared for some serious bouncing around if your soil is rocky. It's unbelievably powerful for such a small machine. I've seen professional landscapers use it to loosen soil for planting new shrubs in some nasty, hard-packed soil. They just use it to dig down as far as the tines will reach, remove the loosened soil, and then dig down farther until they have the hole as deep as it needs to be. In the garden, the tines can be easily turned around to use it as a shallow cultivator for weeding purposes. The best thing of all is that it can be used in tight or hard-to-reach places where no conventional tiller can go. The small size and light weight make it especially easy to store without taking up valuable floor space. For the price, the Mantis is a really practical piece of equipment that no serious gardener should be without. It won't ever totally replace the big tillers, but it can do a whole lot of things that the big ones can't. I would have given up gardening many years ago if I didn't have my Mantis. One of my gardens is inside a small (about 10'-by-20') fenced area that my big tiller is simply too big to handle. The Mantis gets right into the corners and tight to the fence with no problem. The Mantis may look like a toy, but - trust me - it's not.

Serious tillers bewarned this product does actually till soil that has never been tilled before but with effort. It works great in previously tilled areas.
Mantis Tiller - Great tool May 4, 2008
While I love my Mantis tiller, I was very disappointed in the purchasing process. The advertisement indicated it came with a free border edger and kickstand, but apparently, that is only available if you select a certain supplier. When I contacted the supplier and then later Amazon, neither would supply the attachment. I would say definitely order the tiller, just take care to select the right supplier or you will have to make an additional purchase to get the same offer.

I have had the opportunity to use this product several times with great results. You should use gloves when using this product for it is very light and bounces around. It works best in previously tilled soil but also works well in virgin ground. Overall I would give this product a five star rating.
