HYT1050E

Quality product at a competitive price. Used it to remove some turf and replace the grass with decorative chippings. Did the job with ease. Only negative is the power cord which gets in the way but the price you pay for paying a lot less than for a petrol or rechargeable type. Would recommend.

I have to say that I was initially sceptical about buying an electric rotovator/tiller over a petrol one, but this took was extremely powerful. It turned over heavily weeded soil in seconds and extracted bricks, large stones and roots with ease. Heavy, sturdy construction and easy to use. Very pleased with the performance. Highly recommended.

Bought to replace an old and finally died machine and for use in a relatively long and intended garden. The blades work well and loosens well compacted soil, even heaving buried house bricks etc out of the way mostly with ease. As with everything out of the box it is a few bolts and 5 minutes to put together and away you go. Definitely value for money, light, easy to use and time will tell on it's longevity. The real bottom line is it makes spade work a hell of a lot easier.

I'm really impressed with this tiller, especially considering the price. I have very dense, clay filled soil and I was using this to turn the remnants of a lawn, ready to be re-turfed. Despite all the clay and roots, and patchy old turf, it didn't falter. I had to stop every now and then to unwrap long grass and roots, but even after prolonged periods of use, it just kept turning. My garden is 4mx5m and it suited well. I dare say you could till larger areas with ease. Easy to assemble too.

I'll be honest, I had no idea these existed until last week. I was ready to break my back trying to dig up a part of my garden with some really solid dirt before coming across this tiller. First of all, the price is unbeatable! I was very sceptical that the machine would be any good for the price. The reviews are a little mixed too, so that didn't fill me with confidence. But this little thing is an absolute powerhouse! The instructions are extremely easy to follow to put the the whole thing together. After that, the process is pretty self explanatory. It kicked up all of the dirt with just one pass. The stones and tangle of roots embedded in the soil didn't stand a chance! It does give a little bit of a jump when you start it, so be mindful of that, but it is was so easy to control and maneuver that I'd liken it to mowing the grass (but more fun!) For the job it does, I'm surprised that it wasn't heavier or louder. The noise is on par with any other electrical garden item. Overall, I'm just really sad that we only had the one project that we needed this for. It was actually a pleasure to use.

Amazing machine. Easy to use and easy to assemble. Assembly took about 3 minutes. I got this in view of re-turfing the front lawn, but before I started I did a test under my son’s swing in the back garden. (See pics) I needn’t have worried, the tiller did exactly what I wanted it to do. Initially I skimmed over the top and all of the old grass and roots got ripped out without pulling up loads of soil which was easy to rake off into the wheelbarrow. Then the tiller was slightly more angle to dig up and breakdown the soil with absolute ease. There was no need for a topsoil dressing as the soil was very good anyway, a quick level off and the test patch was finished and fitted in around 5 minutes. In comparison the last picture is a small patch I cleared by hand to lay turf which from start to finish took me 4 hours, this tiller would have had me finished in 20 minutes. I’d highly recommend this tiller. I’d estimate my front lawn clearing will take me less than an hour. I’m so impressed with the ease of use I will also be doing the back lawn in the autumn. A++++ for this Tiller.

This cultivator (no wheels) has really surprised me and has made a great job of opening up sections of compacted earth, with a lot of fibrous ivy roots etc. below the surface. You should remove any tangled roots & weeds close to the gearbox to ensure it gets the chance to churn up the earth without overheating, but I’ve used it for 5 solid days to clear a rough, overgrown section of land and it’s performed really well, so I’d say that’s a great purchase. Pros Inexpensive, yet a good quality unit Easy to assemble Light weight but sturdy Easy to control, yet has enough power to drive itself forward Reasonable cable length, but will require a suitable, safe extension Cons It’s electric, so mind that cable The gearbox gets hot, so it’s worth letting it cool off now & again

Good powerful machine. In my opinion, a rear plough bar would make a big control improvement as a restraint to prevent leap when a harder object is encountered by the rotors.
