LawnMaster TE1216M 16 in Tiller review

At $117, the cheapest corded tiller here claims 9 inches deep and has a two-stage gearbox.

Low price, good figures

LawnMaster gets a stated 9 inches and a two-stage gearbox into a $117 tiller. Few listings mention the gearbox at all.

Careful use

Call 811 before you dig, stay clear of the tines and unplug or shut down the machine before you clear roots or stones.

What this machine usually gets asked

Is 9 inches realistic?

It is LawnMaster’s maximum, and it depends on soil. Sun Joe says 8 inches for a similar machine.

Does it fold?

The listing we read does not say so.
