Width, depth and how far you are from an outlet · review
The most-rated tiller here, with 16,000 ratings at 4.6: a 13.5-amp corded machine that tills 16 inches wide and 8 inches deep for $150.
Sun Joe’s 13.5-amp tiller is the best-rated of the bunch by volume. It offers plenty of width for beds and small seed plots.
LawnMaster claims an inch more depth for less money, but with far fewer ratings shared across a family.
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 states up to 8 inches. Hard ground will not reach that on one pass.

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.
