Just bought the tiller with two chargers and four 6 ah batteries for 499!!! Yes from Home Depot, brand new in box!! The batteries alone are worth more than $700!
I've broken new ground with those little Mantis-type tillers, just a buzzy little two-stroke and high-speed tines. On the first pass it looks almost like you haven't done anything; by about the fourth pass the machine's tine are buried and turning almost without resistance in deep, fluffy loam. I'm certain that the Ryobi can perform at least as well as that.
I actually found it on sale for $599 from the Provo Home Depot. I went in for batteries and came out with a tiller cause it was cheaper than the batteries by themselves. Mine came in a box so I got to assemble myself. Not nearly as easy as some other tools, but definitely not hard. Shame on Home Depot and I'll remember to ask for the boxed version in the future to make sure it's my fault when done wrong.
That is why I never buy floor models. I also will never buy the first Gen of any product. I have a first Gen ryobi snowblower and the new batteries won't fit in it. Still a ryobi fan love their products
It needs a few things for me to get onboard: steering control from the handlebars and a PTO or way to use implements. You can of course remove the tines.
This is what I've found when I let them assemble... Missing parts, assembled incorrectly, and it is more work to disassemble in order to assemble correctly than it would have been to start with a factory fresh carton.
I'm guessing that Home Depot's responsible for the unit being assembled wrong, an issue that wouldn't occur if you ordered online. But for 1600 dollars, and going through that many batteries in one go? My garden isn't as large as yours, but I go through 2 40V batteries with the tiller attachment to the string trimmer, which seems to only go only a little less deep than this expensive unit. I've been using the broad fork more because it easily breaks up my hard soil though . . . and it was only ~250.
What do you expect from from Home Depot. A bunch of people work there but never seem to know anything about the products in that store or you get the default response "Oh thats not my department " and they walk away. So when some numbnut kid puts your tiller together do you expect it to be right? Also they put the tires on the wrong sides as well
I think the downfall the the light weight. You see the wheels turning but you have to push hard. Your right about adding weights to front. Old tillers got weight from the motor
Literally had mine arrive today and it was weathered so badly the buttons were completely white from the sun. They charged me $79 for shipping because there was no option to pick up at store and turns out they brought me a weathered one from my local store

Score!

Good call
You made a solid decision about returning that back to HD. Whoever put that together needs to find another job.
Great video, you are a hard worker.
This your first tiller?
Really appreciate the honest review.

The tires are reversed. Didn't you notice how they clogged up? Check the You-tube videos for other rear-tine tillers.
The tires are also wrongfully mounted
💯 what a mess this was… we have a new one now (that we assembled) and it is much better.

Yep, unfortunately it seems far too common.
Big plus is that tillers and cultivators are not used too often so if it were gas storing it would long periods would be bad.
Mine is in route. I paid 488 with all the batteries. No way I would get it for over 1k.
Let us know how it goes
Did you buy 14 batteries? Or how long do the recharge?
The container in the front is for sand to weigh it down. Yes would help alot

It's on sale now for $499, would you have kept it for $499?
Yes, in fact I went out and bought another one for that. Just haven't done a video on it yet. $500 is the right price point for this tiller.

Awesome background!
Good video ... FYI your tires are reversed as well

Wow… that is terrible. We just got a new one a few weeks ago and it is awesome. Much better since we assembled it.
Bonjour les de votre appareil sont montées à l envers😂
Using ballast and correctly installed tires would help
Nice review with helpful tips. Would you also like to talk something about chains or trimmer lines, maybe we could collaborate?
