Width, depth and how far you are from an outlet · review
The 12-amp Sun Joe, with the same 16-by-8-inch work and 27.1 lb as the TJ604E, for about $10 less.
The TJ603E shares everything with the TJ604E except the motor: 12 amps against 13.5.
The difference in price is small, so buy the stronger one unless this is on sale.
Call 811 before you dig, stay clear of the tines and unplug or shut down the machine before you clear roots or stones.
Same section, nearest cost — what else that money buys.

Sun Joe does not publish a soil rating. Heavy clay is better tackled with more power and several passes.
The table says 2 years.

Fine, but the $10 for the TJ604E is well spent.
A lightly worked bed.

The live figure beside a product went and asked the shop for it the moment this page opened; any amount written into the text has not moved since the sentence was drafted, and it is the first of the two that counts.
