Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use the edging attachment on ?

A tool attachment for the 3550 Electric Tiller/Cultivator cannot be used with the edging attachment. The Mantis tiller attachments can only be attached to tillers from the 7000 series.

The item needs to be assembled when it arrives, how much work is involved?

It is just a matter of attaching the cable and handle There will be no longer than 15 minutes to complete it. An owners manual with instructions will be sent to you A mantis is also an insect. A video is available on the owners resource section of the site that shows how the tiller is assembled.

What kind of tiller is it? Is it used or is it just a damaged package?

There is no sign of a used tiller on this machine. This is a brand new product.

Do you think an outdoor power cord with a 16/3 rating would work here?

In my opinion, you should use a 12/3 cord instead of a 16/3 cord. The unit is pulling 12 amps, which is too much for 16 gauge, and you don't want to risk damaging the electric motor on the rototiller caused by a voltage drop. Each of Menards, Home Depot and Lowe's sells a 100ft 12/3 cord for about $65 with a flexible outer jacket down to 0 degrees Fahrenheit. My electric snow blower is powered by mine.

3/5

In this rating, we let people know that they are being sold a refurbished item that has obvious signs of wear and tear even though it is being marketed as It is the seller's fault that that information was not included in the is concerned, it performs very well save for the safety/kill switch, which has a flawed design that renders it inoperable for the majority of likely applications.

There is no way to describe the beast that is this thing
5/5

As I saw all the reviews saying that this was powerful, I was sceptical. In order to prepare a large garden each year, I plan to use this tool a couple of times per year. There are no fluids that need to be changed or that need to get bad, and it's extremely low maintenance (i. e. It needs to be plugged in before it can function). The power was more than enough for its size, and I was able to run it for nearly 8 hours without stopping. When buried chunks of concrete got lodged in it, I only had it jam a couple of times. In order to remove the tines and clear the jam, having a 1/2" ratcheting socket was needed. After I did that, I was able to solve the jam in ten As it is lightweight, it is easy to carry, but can bounce as it is tilled. For my needs, I felt like I was getting a good deal on this, since it also saves me counter space This would have been amazing if I had bought it years ago!.

There is a problem with the Mars app, and Amazon customer service is terrible
3/5

The gift was purchased for Christmas. You should have unpacked your things in March, when you normally would have left. I tried it but it didn't When I called Amazon, they said I couldn't return items 2 months after purchase. A man called Mantis and told him "good luck. ". I really do. None of the turns have been completed. That's a waste of time. We contacted Amazon to check on the extended warranty, but they no longer taunt us. We cut the wire and the short was caused by the pulled out wire. My order came from Amazon, but they said it had passed the time they provided care for it. Make sure to keep this in mind when you purchase early Christmas gifts!.

This is amazing
5/5

The rototiller turned hard soil easily and had lots of power. I purchased it as a tool to level my backyard. There is nothing better than this machine for the price it costs This is a definite recommendation.

I did not smell gas fumes or have trouble starting my car! It can be used to grow plants at home
5/5

She uses it most of the time. I think she's less stressed out than when she's trying to race a 2 stroke!.

A simple assembly is required for this A lot more power was delivered with this electric tiller than I expected, I am so happy I made This weed killer had little difficulty cutting through hard soil and tree roots even when used on ground that had never been tilled

Make sure you stay on your toes
4/5

There needs to be more weight on it because it jumps pretty hard going forward. Pulling it backward is better.

Save both time and back by using this program
5/5

We've often told friends that my husband is obsessed with his electric Mantis. He swears by it and if he had to choose just one tool for our yard it would be that one. We have just ordered our second one in 15 years. A friend lent us the first one, and over the winter he allowed it to sit aside for a long period of time. This tool chews through anything (not the best idea for an 'electric' tool)/br>My husband says this thing is powerful. The best use of this equipment was tearing down a couple truckloads of dirt that had been sitting for a few years and was about the consistency of cement. The Mantis he claims was with him shredded it all and turned it into piles of dirt so easy to move that even he was amazed. However, that is no longer the case. I go to him when I need help You can use this tool in the garden for anything you need. Despite the blades being so sharp and powerful, it took more than 6 days for the blade to wear down The equipment had been used so heavily that he had to replace it after seven years. In fact, even that is very easy to accomplish.
