Sun JoeTJW24C 24-Volt Cordless Telescoping Power Weeder/Cultivator, Kit (w/ 2.0-Ah Battery and Charger)

I bought this cultivator for my Wife's Birthday as she loves her garden. The product is great. Well made, sturdy but light to use. Very effective in the garden for keeping the soil open and friable. The supplied battery lasts for about an hour and there is a supplied battery charger. (You will need a US adapter for the 2 pin plug). The down side is, if you want spare parts, ie Battery, Blade etc. Forget it. They are available in the US but they are not able to ship to the UK. Amazon UK does list the spare battery but it is listed as "Out Of Stock"!! The US Sunjoe site list it as "Discontinued"!! A bit odd selling a product but not supporting it? Is this sharp practice or lack of a Trade Deal? Come on Amazon, give us a break. Please publish this review as it is fully truthful.

If your soil is easy to cultivate use a manual hoe. This device is no weeder. Anything long wraps round the spindle and is tedious to unravel. Damp soil clings to and builds up on the guard and blade requiring constant cleaning. However, if your soil is hard, dry, reasonably weedless, space restricted and back breaking to hoe, this attractive device is for you. It will easily hoe to a 3” depth but is no speed machine. Rotation is slow enough to not overly damage the blade by hitting stones.

Long lasting battery in excess of 1 hour. Quick recharge. Robust tool.
