#3 in CultivatorsFull review
The pick of Sun Joe’s corded tillers for most small gardens: a wide path and a stronger motor for little more than the 12 A model.

Sun Joe TJ605E
#4 in CultivatorsFull review
For corded tiller buyers who want the most motor Sun Joe makes in a light package. If the soil is already loose, the cheaper TJ604E tills just as wide.
