Imagine what it would be like to use an old push mower on your grass once a week. What would life be like without leaf blowers, power washers, weed whackers, power saws, drills and all the other tools that make our lives so much easier? Sure, you could be a “man’s man” and dig up all that hard ground by the sweat of your brow; but aren’t there so many other things you’d rather do with your time — things you enjoy? The Mantis 2-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator is a highly lauded garden power tool that saves your body from the aches, pains and strains associated with yard work. There are many reasons to choose this versatile tool.

Don’t let the lightweight Mantis 2-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator fool you. While it’s 9-inch wide mouth is petite enough to do edging work between rows and alongside fences, once you pull the throttle-activated clutch, the powerful patented tines begin digging down 10 inches into the dirt, sod, solid clay and hard ground at 240 RPM. According to the manufacturer, you can effectively cultivate, weed and till a 30 x 40 foot garden in just 20 minutes. The versatile attachments include a plow, planter/furrower, border edger, aerator, hedge trimmer and lawn dethatcher. With the company’s one-year “no questions asked” money-back guarantee, the 5 year warranty and the lifetime guarantee against tine breakage, the user can feel good about this purchase.

Website to website, consumers have good things to say about the Mantis 2-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator. “This is my twelfth season using this tiller,” one satisfied customer writes on Amazon, where this product is highly rated. Another consumer remarks that Mantis “really stands by their lifetime warranty,” adding that a 20-year-old tine was replaced, no questions asked. This customer also admits, “It won’t ever totally replace the big tillers, but it can do a whole lot of things that the big ones can’t” — like the edging, dethatching and delicate row planting work. At www.viewpoints.com, 88% of the reviewers recommend this product. It’s rated well for “smaller size, ease of handling and sufficient power” that rivals the big tillers. “I finally bought one and now I can’t live without it,” admits a reviewer. “This is absolutely one of the best purchases I have ever made,” says a self-professed “Mr. Green Thumb.”

Some senior citizens may prefer the Mantis 4-Cycle Gas Tiller Powered by Honda over the Mantis 2-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator because it uses 1.1 horsepower (rather than 0.9), it’s quieter and it uses gas only (compared to a gas/oil mix). This model sells for $100 more but is just as versatile and weighs only three pounds more than the 2-cycle. Consumers may also want to check out the Mantis electric tiller if they’re not keen on gas-operated machinery. There are many options at www.mantis.com, which offers free shipping and optional $30 assembly to all buyers.
