A couple quick notes. It's absurdly easy to assemble. Contrary to a couple comments I read, I found the wheel adjustment to be very easy to use; you just pull the wheels toward you and put them in the notch you want.
We have a small garden, maybe 10 x 30. I used it yesterday for the first time for two or three hours, re-tilling some leaves into the existing garden, and breaking new ground to expand our plot. Last year, I broke ground with a front tine gas tiller I borrowed from a friend, basically a larger gas version of this tiller, so here's my comparison.
It was wet yesterday, and there's some clay content in our soil, and the electric bogged down two or three times. It just stopped turning, and there was a little smoke whisping off the motor, which made we nervous. But I simply stopped, cleaned the tines out, and let it spin free a little to clear the dirt, and it kept working just fine. That said, with the gas tiller, I never had this problem. Although the electric was surprisingly strong, the gas was definitely more powerful. My guess is that I'll end up having to do more passes with this tiller than with the gas. That said, a gas tiller is two to three times as expensive, and requires a lot more maintenance. For me, the trade off is worth it.
As for maneuverability, this lightweight tiller won hands down. Keep in mind, weight can be helpful for the tiller to sink into and break up deep soil. But, whereas I was absolutely exhausted after using the gas tiller last year, using this tiller really isn't that much harder than mowing the grass. As long as this tiller can get the job done, I would much rather use it.
There's a few reasons I gave this tiller four starts instead of five. In wet soil with clay content, the design makes it very easy for soil to collect between the tines, the top protective shield and the wheels, which ultimately leads to the tiller bogging down. I constantly had a big, clogged mass of soil and clay bunched between the protective shield and the wheel bracket. And, although I had no problems yesterday, I'd feel more confident about this tiller's life span if the wheels were more heavy duty. And, more importantly, I'd have liked it if they put heavier gauge handles on it. At times, when you're wresting with the tiller, the handle torques a bit, which makes me a little nervous about how long it will last. My guess is, I'll get several years out of this tiller, but not a couple decades, like you might from a gas tiller.
That said, I don't think the makers of this tiller are misrepresenting this it in any way. It's a great, easy to use, lightweight tiller, and it will probably meet our needs for years. While it's not suited for serious, heavy duty tilling, for the average home owner who's just gonna use it a couple times a year, it's a great solution.
UPDATE
Changed my original review from 4 to 5 stars. I've used it twice more on our garden plot, which we expanded to about 15 x 40. Second time, used it when the ground was fairly wet, and, because we have a bit of clay in our soil, it still struggled some, but ultimately managed to get through everything just fine. The third time, I added some soil amendments when we'd had a few dry days, and it worked perfectly. Really couldn't be happier. It's lightweight, easy to use, and more than powerful enough for our needs.

It's lightweight, easy to use, and more than powerful enough for our needs.
When this electric tiller arrived, I pulled it out of the box and assembled it in just a few short minutes. The only assembly necessary is to attach the two parts of the handle. They slide together effortlessly and are held in place with large, easy to use bolts. No tools required!
You will need a good extension cord to operate this product. Most people can get away with a 50’ cord. Because my yard is very large, I needed a 100’ extension cord. I purchased a very heavy cord that was recommended to operate the tiller properly. The cord cost more than half as much as the tiller, but I will be able to use it for all of my electric tools so I considered it a good investment. Just realize that the cord does not come with the tiller and if you don’t already have one it will be an added expense.
After rolling the tiller to the garden, it was a simple task to reposition the wheels to the tilling position.
The machine was simple to start. I hold down a start button with my thumb and pull a trigger with my finger. The machine immediately starts up. I remove my thumb from the start switch and the tiller continues running until I release the trigger.
It took only a few minutes to turn over an 8’ x 8’ section of soil in my vegetable patch and make a nice deep garden bed in which to plant tomatoes. My garden is full of stones but they didn’t pose a problem.
In another area of my yard, I used the tiller to dig a section of lawn that had not previously been plowed. I did not remove the grass first. The tiller had no problem cutting through the grass and digging into the ground.
This machine has a convenient handle and is lightweight enough for me to lift it if I need to. It’s easy to maneuver from place to place. When running, it is easy to control. Unlike larger rototillers I don’t feel like I am fighting with it. I am controlling the tiller. The tiller is not controlling me.
The price of this tiller was very reasonable, and it won’t require annual maintenance at additional cost. It is not an “investment” tool that I’ve paid a ton of money for expecting to get 10 or 20 years of service from. If I have to toss this machine in a few years and buy another, well, the low price will allow me to do that without too much pain.
This machine is not built for daily or commercial use. But for a backyard gardener who will use it a few times a year, it’s a handy tool to have. It’s a great solution for women who don’t want the hassle of dealing with heavier and more complicated “man tools.”

This is not suitable as by my calculations this rotates it requires at least over 1600watts. A small inverter would not be powerful enough to run the rotavator. It's also a point of failure. I don't see it lasting very long. If you're from the UK / euro I would avoid buying this.
We've started the return process. We're very disappointed as it was a long wait for delivery.
