Nine inches of working depth is enough to break new ground rather than only stirring the top of an established bed - many electric cultivators stop around 6 in. This is the 14 in tilling width; the same machine is offered in a 17 in width. Corded 120 V power means no battery to run flat during a long session and no fuel to mix or store. The handle folds flat without tools, so it stands against a garage wall rather than taking up floor space, and two transport wheels carry it between beds. A wide shield across the front keeps thrown soil and stones away from the operator. It suits vegetable plots, flower beds and preparing ground for turf.
