PROS and CONS of the Mantis 7250
You've seen the key features and the benefits they promise to give you. But do these promises met when you actually use this machine? Only consumers who have tried this machine can tell you.
In this section, we give you the PROS and CONS of the Mantis 7250 as told by consumers.
PROS:
- Can dig up grass
- From the words of one consumer, "works like a big tiller, but only on a smaller scale"
- Contrary to what was previously said, this machine bounces back at first until it gets its teeth into the ground
- Almost makes no noise
CONS:
- Long grass, vines, or weeds can get tangled into the tines.
- Some consumers say they had difficulty assembling the kickstand and hand controls, but overall, assembly is easy and fast.
- Although this machine can dig through hardened soil, you may experience slowing down or "kicking" before a smooth operation.
TIPS:
