I thought about the electric tiller but I didn't like the thought of
having the extension cord in your way all the time. Just seems like it
might be kind of unhandy because you might be dragging the cord over top
of your plants all the time. I settled for the 2-cycle that comes with
kick stand and edger. Think it has (81) reviews on Amazon

Besides having to concern oneself with avoiding tilling/cutting the
electric cord (guaranteed to occur) the electric unit pretty much
negates portability... myself I'd need to buy a generator or many
hundreds of feet of extension cord. An electric tiller is about the
dumbest idea... unless one wants to use their Mantis to make whipped
cream by the wheelbarrowful for nude girl wrestling.
