Bought this at Lowes and am so happy that it has a 30 day money back guarantee, because it’s going back. I had to dig the dirt to lossen it and it barely went thru the loose dirt. I bought it so I wouldn’t have to use the shovel. Save you’re money and get the exercise.

This product did what it claimed….to an extent. It worked fine in garden soil that had been previously loosened by other means. But it really didn’t perform too well in impacted soil. It would work fine in garden beds in which you only need to incorporate fertilizer or make a planting hole in loose soil.

This product worked as touted and is suprisingly powerful. I just finished cultivating a flower bed about 5 by 10 feet and it did an excellent job. You have to occasionally clean the tines as they will clog if the ground is damp. Also I had to change the battery towards the end of the job. This unit is great for flower beds and other small to moderate sized areas…larger areas would require a gas or corded electric powered unit as this product would take too long with it’s narrow width.

I am very disappointed in this product. I read all the reviews and was convinced this was just the thing for my small garden. I spent an hour doing one row and much of that time I was pulling grass out of the blades. I was so impressed with the reviews that I purchased an extra battery and blades. Not sure what I’m doing different from those who wrote such glowing reviews.

This is a great cultivator. I really didn’t know how it would do in Colorado with the clay soil I have to deal with, but this tool ROCKS!!! First, I used it to get my garden area established – yea, first the weeds then the soil. Short of a rototiller (which I don’t feel good about using at all) I really didn’t know if this would work and the guys I know just “snickered” (sorry to other guys out there); anyway, this cultivator works great it breaks up the dirt and the dirt didn’t clump up in the tines either, some areas I had to go over more then once, but wow I was done in about 1/2 hour.Also, when gardening and getting to the weeds – just got them out no problem – made my weeding tons better! Plus, this works great on compacted dirt like your driveway, you just need to start a little slower with it. The charge works great and still had plenty left after 4 hours of work. Finally, the cultivator is not a fragile tool-I am pretty hard on tools and this has been dropped and banged around and holds up great..
