We’ve been deep in garden mode lately, and I couldn’t wait to test out the Venux 20V Cordless Electric Garden Tiller. Between prepping new beds and refreshing old soil, I needed something lightweight, cordless, and powerful enough to handle compacted dirt without breaking my back—or the bank.
Spoiler alert: this little tiller is mighty.
Setup & First Use
Straight out of the box, the Venux tiller felt surprisingly sturdy for something so compact. It came with two rechargeable batteries, safety gloves, and glasses—such a thoughtful touch. Assembly was quick, and I had it ready to go in under 10 minutes.
I started with a patch of soil that hadn’t been touched in years. The 48 steel tines powered through it with ease. I was honestly shocked at how well it handled roots and clumps. The 360 RPM motor gives it just enough torque to break up soil without jerking or dragging.
What I’m Loving So Far
- Cordless freedom: No cords to trip over or outlets to hunt down. I can move from bed to bed without stopping.
- Lightweight but tough: It’s easy to maneuver, even around tight corners or raised beds.
- Custom depth & width: It tills up to 6.6 inches deep and 9 inches wide, which is perfect for most garden prep.
- Battery life: With both batteries charged, I got nearly 90 minutes of runtime—plenty for a full garden session.
- Safety lock: A small but smart feature that gives me peace of mind when storing it.
My Routine So Far
I’ve been using it to:
- Loosen soil before planting herbs and veggies
- Mix in compost and amendments
- Edge along flower beds
- Break up compacted areas near walkways
It’s honestly made garden prep fun again. I’m not sore afterward, and I feel like I’m getting more done in less time.
