Sun Joe TJW24C - 24-Volt Cordless Cultivator

While I would certainly not attempt to use this as a tiller, it works well as a cultivator. The compact size makes it perfect for cultivating between plants in the garden. Having a single tine allows me to get close to the plant, and the lightweight nature allows for good control so there's no damage. It is also great for mixing the soil when top dressing plants. It's far easier to use than my corded tiller for cultivating. The build quality is pretty lightweight. It can handle the occasional small rock, but I wouldn't bet on it being able to survive hitting a large rock. The same for hard soil -- it does not have anywhere close to the heft or power to last long or do a good job. I would have preferred a design where the tine rotates slower and with more torque (or even an adjustable tine speed) but you can't have everything. The length is fine when fully extended so I don't have to stoop when using it (I'm 6 foot 2). A bit longer would have been nice, but it's fine as-is. The tine has been holding up fine and, since there's only one of them, it's a breeze to clean out any clumps or windings. It's way easier on my back than using a hoe, far more nimble than even a compact tiller, and the battery life has been very good. I can't speak to the longevity of it as of yet, but so far it's been a 4.5 star performer for the purposes I use it for.
