3.0/5
A wide, cordless Sun Joe for gardens out of reach of an outlet. Owners of other Sun Joe 24 V tools get the most from it, since spare batteries stretch the short runtime.

Pros
- A 14 in path is wide for a battery cultivator, close to corded tillers
- No cord to drag around a large or distant garden
- Brushless motor and both batteries charge together in under an hour
- Three height positions for setting depth
Cons
- The two 2.0 Ah packs give a short run per charge, so a big plot needs spares
- Won’t accept Sun Joe’s larger XR8 and XR12 batteries
- Costs about $100 more than a corded Sun Joe of similar width
