Summary: Mighty Mouse
Comment: Easy to use, works really hard, can carry around to different spots in the garden. How did we manage before our Mantis?
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Little bouncer
Comment: The Mantis is a nice little tiller, but I am spoiled after having a Troy Bilt tiller for 40 years. The mantis is so light that it bounces off small stones and into your garden plants before you can regain control. Because it is plagued with "Ralph Nader save the operator controls", it is difficult to control the throttle position easily. It also gets stones jammed in the tines easily.
I'm not knocking it, because it makes a nice BACK YARD tiller for the home owner. Just be aware of its shortcomings.

Comment: Best tiller I have ever owned. Very light and very powerful. Starts on first pull. Very easy to use. I would recommend this tiller to anyone with a vegtable garden or flower garden.

Summary: Hmmmm
Comment: Well it never worked for me at all to rate all its features.
I wanted to clear the 'weed garden' leading to the water in our backyard this winter. The idea was to till the land and seed grass. I read reviews and reviews on the internet about how great this product is. So I went the extra mile and paid hundred dollars more for the 4-cycle.
Setup took me about couple of hours. Don't miss watching the DVD; this will save you more time than you can think. The hardest part of the assembly was bolting the stand to the handle as the access becomes limited once you have the gas tank and main body mounted.
I bought gas and filled the tank. As easily demonstrated in the video, I pulled the starter 3 times after priming. The engine wouldn't start. I tried again several times that same day after giving some gaps. There wasn't the 'purr' of the motor I liked to hear. I called customer service. She started giving me instructions and asked me to yank something (I don't remember now after 4 months) the top. I told her I don't see the part she was talking about. I told her my Mantis was a 4-cycle Honda motor. She realized the problem - she was giving instructions for a 2-cycle Mantis! She gave me two dealer names that will take care of the problem. Both dealers said it will cost me money to have them fix it as I didn't buy from them. I had, had enough.
I returned the product back and the great customer service at Amazon (the best out there. Why can't Comcast and Verizon have such customer service?) promptly gave me back all my 450 bucks back. I would rather have had a working product and cleared the backyard and see the grass fill up than the weeds. Hmmm...

Summary: Mantis 4-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator
Comment: This Tiller is truly an amazing tool -- if you buy new - squeeze excess oil out of air filter foam (into a paper towel) before use. Assembly a snap --Starts easily -- does the work of a big machine while being light and easy to work with.Mantis 4-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator with Border Edger and Kickstand #7262-15-02

The Mantis 4-cycle gas tiller features a 4-cycle Honda engine, augmenting all of the great features and benefit to the gardener as the original 2-cycle tiller. It's easier to start, quieter in operation, and fueled only by gas (rather than a gas/oil mixture). The 4-cycle Mantis tills 10 inches deep and 9 inches wide; its patented tines are reversible to cultivate and weed up to 3 inches deep. This handy, sleek, lightweight unit can fit into narrow areas with ease and is ideal for raised beds as well. With optional attachments, the tiller can also aerate, dethatch, plow, furrow, and more. The 4-cycle Mantis weighs a mere 24 pounds and comes with border edger and kickstand. It comes with a 2-year warranty and a lifetime guarantee on its tines against breakage.
