I don't think you can really compare one costing £50 with a £300
electric Mantis. It's probably something you could use for light
weeding in already cultivated ground.

Thats about all I want it for. I have a number of small beds which need
weeding. They are well tilled but I am tired of spending a long time digging
them over each year. I need something manoeuvrable.

For fifty quid ( they say its a £100 recommended retail) I doubt if I can go
badly wrong even if it only does do my borders.

I dont need a mantis or for that matter a "proper" cultivator.
