I thought about the electric tiller but I didn't like the thought of

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.

I have a electric 18 chain saw (Pollan) and a Toro power shovel power
curve snow shovel. I ran some power back to my garden an never use more
than 50 cord. Very limiting but I don't till with the pony anymore and
have the drive plowed ( only 3 times in 35 years all this year which
cost $150). I do have a 16 inch gas chain saw but in the last 10 years
Karl and his men do the tree work.
