Small size - BIG performance
"I have only had my Mantis for a short time, you
may be seeking more experienced owners. I would like
to tell you about what I think about my Mantis. I saw
an ad on TV and honestly thought it was too good to be
true. I have never bought a product from a TV ad before
and I wasn't going to buy yours. My wife pointed out
your 1 year return policy and said I should try it. I
figured since I had an existing garden (28x16), it would
be OK just to turn it over and add compost once a year.
When it arrived and I put it together (assembly was easy)
I was sure I'd be sending it back. It was so small and
light I wrote it off as a toy.
The next day I took it out to the garden. I was planning an 8' extension
to the garden and was sure the Mantis would not tear up existing lawn very
well. Was I ever wrong! It tore up an 8x16 plot in 20 minutes. It pulverized
it! Later I added compost and tilled the whole garden. I was amazed at how
well and how fast this machine did the job.
This is the best product I have ever bought. You will not be getting it back. I also bought the lawn dethacher and aerator. I will be using them for the first time this weekend and cannot wait. Great product! Thanks Mantis!"

"I recently purchased
one of your Mantis tillers. At the time I read about it,
I thought something that small and lightweight couldn't
do a good job. I was totally wrong. I am very impressed
with how well and fast it does the job. I have been unable
to work in my vegetable garden for over 2 years due to
a lower back injury. The Mantis tiller has allowed me
to get back in my garden which I didn't think I would
ever be able to do. The Mantis is a great machine and
very easy to assemble. The video tape and instructions
are also very easy to follow. I will be telling all my
gardening friends about it."

 "I'll
try not to bore you with the details, but the water
line to my shop failed years ago, and recently I wanted
to use it again and repair the leak in my yard. Much
to my dismay when I turned it on, it had sprung a leak
right at the house. I baptized the Mantis on Saturday.
After digging the first hole at the house, I remembered
I had sleeved the water pipe to ten feet from the house.
A second hole had to be dug. In the past I would have
been beat after the first hole in this hard, rocky,
Maryland clay. Not this time - the Mantis made peat
moss of the clay. … The bottom line is, I removed
the damaged pipe, replaced it, turned the water on and
back filled the first hole, and I didn't get started
till lunchtime. I was tired by the end of day but I
couldn't believe how much I got done. The Mantis made
child's play of the hardest part of the job. The
picture shows the Mantis, thirty inches down, you can
see the sleeve at the bottom of the hole. What a machine!!
I've been fed lines by manufacturers
in the past about how their tool or machine would do,
but the Mantis is everything you say it is and more.
… The only thing little about the Mantis is its
size and weight. I regret not having one years ago.
It is incredible how hard it works without working the
operator. The Mantis is unbelievable - if I'd had one
years ago I wouldn't be burned out at 62. My compliments
on a super designed rugged machine."

"I don't believe I have
ever previously written a letter of this type. Several
months ago I purchased a Mantis Tiller as a gift for my
wife. She loves to garden. I don't necessarily share her
enthusiasm. I bought it on the recommendation of a co-worker
who raved about the one he had. Frankly, I thought he
was exaggerating however, I was in need of a gift and
because of my wife's passion for the yard, I decided to
make the purchase. If nothing else, it was easier than
going to the mall. … Having wrestled with full
size tillers in the past, it seemed as though the Mantis
was going to be too small to do much of anything. I was
very wrong. It is infrequent that you buy something that
lives up to the hype contained in the advertisement. If
something turns out to be half as good as the sales pitch
you're usually very happy. The Mantis does not equal the
promises made in your sales literature, it far exceeds
them. It is mind-boggling the amount of work that little
machine puts out. More amazing is the ease of operation.
My wife is a small girl and I was concerned that I would
have to handle the tilling phase of her endeavors. That
has not been the case. Much to my relief, she operates
the Mantis with ease."

"A few years ago I purchased a Mantis tiller for use in my yard. This year we are landscaping and planting grass. My husband started out with the Mantis and then we decided to rent a larger tiller to get the job done a little faster. What a mistake! The big rental machine did not even come close to what the Mantis could and would do. Needless to say we returned it to the rental store immediately and my husband started using the Mantis again. The Mantis ran circles around the bigger tiller. Lesson learned - always use your Mantis for any project! We are happy with our Mantis tiller."

"I have a relatively small garden, only 16' x 16'. When I went to buy a tiller, I only considered buying one of the larger 5-8 horsepower models, thinking one of those little Mantis tillers was just too small. I found out my aunt had a Mantis and loved it. I thought, why not try one. This has been probably the best purchase I have ever made in the way of lawn and garden equipment. This little Mantis does much more than I had previously thought it could and more. The ease of use cannot be overemphasized. I am now looking forward to a bountiful garden for years to come. This little fellow is TOUGH."
Kevin H. - Arkansas
"It isn't often these days that a product lives up to its advertising. My mantis tiller has done this and more. I am a sixty year old man that has had two strokes in my life. My garden is not less than 2,600 sq. ft. My little tiller handles this like it was nothing. It turns the dirt into a fine beautiful black dirt. There is no struggle whatsoever to use this tiller."
Rick J. - Wisconsin
"You probably need to remove me from your mailing list. I bought a Mantis from a local supplier, Midwest Equipment, in Peoria, IL. A friend bought one last year and told me what a workhorse it was. When I made up my mind to get one, I went to Midwest Equipment and purchased one in a box. It took about 20 minutes to put it together. It's worth every penny I paid for it and I wonder why I didn't have one sooner. I've used it to till every flower bed my wife has and my daughter's beds and a neighbor's garden area. I've rented larger tillers that don't do nearly as quick and good a job as the Mantis. Great piece of equipment!"
