At only 2.7kg, it’s light and powered by a 20V 4Ah battery which should give around half an hour or running time depending on how hard it is working. Its two 15cm blades can cultivate up to 25cm deep too which isn’t bad for such a smaller tiller. You will want to use an electric tiller when the ground you want to loosen is moist, but you should avoid it when the ground is wet. This can cause soil compaction to occur, not to mention, put strain on your tiller. The ideal time to use your tiller is a couple of days after heavy rainfall because of this. What is better: gas or an electric tiller?

For plenty of power the hoe uses two high-performance 18 V system batteries from the Power X-Change series. This product comes without batteries and without a charger. These are available separately. Another feature I do like is that it does not matter how tall you are because this tiller has a telescopic handle that makes it more comfortable to use. The handle is adjustable from 97cm all the way to 127cm, which gives the user plenty of room to find a comfortable position. Additionally, with the two handles installed, it will be easy to balance the weight of the tiller and move it around. Mini cultivators are not as powerful as the larger version, which makes them prone to some issues. To help ease the process while using the mini cultivators, here are a few things to do:This model is powered by a 750W motor which powers the four blades to till the soil. With a working width of 30cm, it has a slightly wider cultivating width than most other models in this review. I think it’s perfect for small to medium-sized gardens. Additionally, it has a standard working depth of 20cm. And, by in the right situation, I mean tilling light soil (not clay), that is regularly tilled. This will help you keep on top of it rather than being a tiller you use once a year to try and turn over some hard compact ground, it simply won’t do this and that’s not what it’s designed for. This is for little and often but it should still give a nicely tilled soil. The Einhell GE-CR 30 cordless tiller is an excellent bit of kit that delivers in every sense of the word. It is practical and efficient and oh so easy to use. The battery X-change set up is one of the most interesting features and whether you currently use other power tools in the range or are starting your collection here, this is a great way to save money on multiple batteries in the future. I have also reviewed some of the more affordable petrol rotavators in this review if you need more choice What’s more, the tiller comes with some excellent practical considerations such as a folding handle and an adjustable transport wheel. It is lightweight, easy to use and something that I would highly recommend adding to your gardening tool kit. Main Features

The Power X-change battery range comes in a variety of forms ranging from 2.5Ah, which gives you 21 mins of operating time through to 6.0Ah with an exceptional 60 minutes of power. On top of offering optimal performance, having consistent power from being corded which is positive when comparing it to cordless models that need charging after half an hour, this electric tiller is safe and comfortable to use for hours on end if need be.

Some models now have adjustable working, where one set of blades can be removed just leaving one on the machine. This can give you the best of both worlds. How compact are they for easy storage?

There are two main types of electric tiller, a front tine tiller and a rear tine tiller. Front tine tillers are the more compact and lightweight option. Not only are they easier to store and carry, but they’re designed to get in all the tight spots, making them a great choice for smaller gardens. Rear tine tillers will be able to get into soil deeper than front tine tillers. They can make their way through tougher, more compacted earth with ease, so they’re seen as being the strong out of the two. They also tend to have more tines so they’re wider so they will take up more room when being stored and tend to be more expensive. Corded vs cordless electric tillersFor use of 36V devices, higher power and longer continuous working time, two batteries included are ensured. The high-quality batteries resist the memory effect and the battery-normal self-discharge for constant power

It is important to keep in mind that the Power X-change batteries and charger are sold separately from this model. Einhell GE-CR 30 User Manual The 49cc Honda FG205 18″ Petrol Mini Tiller is powered by a 1.9Hp 4-stroke engine with a 0.35L capacity to ensure a good running time between refuelling. At 21kg it’s fairly heavy compared to any cordless electric or corded electric model but you can’t beat the roaring power of a petrol engine, and Honda does make the best petrol engines. Being heavy also means that it also performs better on compact soils too in comparison to other models in this review.
