Product Description
The Remington Garden Wizard 12 Amp electric tiller sports a powerful 12 Amp motor for breaking through sod and finely cultivating beds. With a folding handle for easy storage, and durable construction for use in rugged environments, the tiller also features 20-percent more output torque than comparable gas mini-tillers. Additionally, the tiller comes with quick-flip wheels and a molded carrying handling for easy transport. Other features include a 10-inch tilling width and a 9-inch tilling depth. The electric motor runs very quietly for environmentally friendly operation and comes with an extension cord lock. The tiller is backed by a 2-year warranty.
Reader Reviews
A note of caution on the tiller: it has two components which I've discovered I don't like. The first is a plastic sprocket gear that transfers power from the motor to the driveline and tines. Guess what happens when the little Garden Wizard gets tangled up in a tree root... yes, it completely strips the teeth out of the plastic gear. (Here you can correctly assume it's very cheap to mold a plastic gear instead of machine a metal one.) Second, the thing that's supposed to help eliminate the gear stripping problem is that Remington has a built-in circuit breaker right on the trigger housing. "How convenient", one might think at first, except that the breaker is made in Indonesia under questionable quality control and that the breaker is only rated at 7 amps. The tiller has a 12 amp motor. Why bother advertising that it has such a great feature like a 12 amp motor when the ciruit breaker shuts it off at less than a 60% load? If you plan to use this product in already tilled and established planting beds, I would say that it's not a bad machine and you'll probably never have a problem with it. If you are trying to break established sod - be forewarned that tree roots or rocks will most likely cause you an instant breakdown.
