Pros & Cons
Pros
The mantis is like a blender, light weight, easy to handle. Small but mighty and gets the job done. Light and easy to maneuver.
Had this tiller 10 years ago and wore it out. Used it to till up a month's worth of weeds. Very impressed. They recently had them on sale on amazon.
It seems like it is a little cold blooded, so i only push the choke in a little over halfway until it warms up for about 20 seconds. Easy to assemble, use, and store. Took 20 min to put together after unpacking.
Cons
This tiller is a nightmare. Sooooo frustrating. This thing is garbage and frustrating to start because it doesn't.
Tiller is less than 2 years old and engine stopped and seized up tight while weeding wife's small flower garden this spring. Open the choke, open the choke but don't mash the fuel bulb. Great tiller but sorry fuel system.

Keep the transmission lubed and use ethanol free fuel and it will likely outlast its owner
