I would like to get a new electric rototiller and am torn between this and the Black and Decker. about the same cost. Which works better?

All the Mantis electric tillers have a problem after the first or second year of use that they tend to overheat. This means that you have to do a bit, have to stop 10 minutes, then proceed, stop again etc. Mantis is a very good brand, but don't go for the electric one. I have a petrol based one now and am very happy with it. I don't know the Black and Decker.

The Mantis works great, but it is not as easy as it looks on tv, it takes quite a bit of hand and arm strength to use it for any length of time.

The mantis is powerfull for its size except i had to replace the switch. It...the switch seemed puni relative to the power of the machine.

Hi Peg, I'm sure the Black and Decker is a fine product, but I know nothing about it. My Mantis has been wonderful, though. I've given it rough usage over three summers, cutting through hard turf and rocky soil, making flower and vegetable garden spaces. No overheating ever, and when it does get stuck on a root tangle, or fist-sized rocks, its breaker stops the Mantis instantly. Your question has reminded me how much I like and trust it.

Actually Black and Decker has a set of blades you can buy rather inexpensive that works great. It is a very good deal. Usually if a blade has a lot of teeth it is for metal. Blades for wood usually has less teeth with a wider gap between them.

Obviously the ultimate choice is yours, I am very pleased with this juicer, previously I had doubts and wanted to go with a more expensive one, but I am happy to say that I am very pleased with its performance, the motor is a 700 w power, very powerful motor, easy cleanup, inexpensive... There are no negatives so far with the juicer.. I will recommend this to any one.. Good luck on juicing...

I've had the older version of Rotodent and got 16 years out of it. They changed the style of brush on this and they made it a "non-direct" electrical recharging base which is why the older one went bad (the electrical connections rusted out due to water)....so i'm completely satisfied with the new improved version.

I had a problem with my unit and posted it on the Amazion review page. Black and Decker contacted me and replaced my unit. Call custmer service, they are pretty good about working with you.

Johnny B G is correct. You should just buy the basic one for $35 if it works then great if it is just ok then next time upgrade. It is just like my Phillips electric razors, there are many price levels but they all do basically the same thing, shave my face. I could pay $30 for a basic or $200 for a fancy one with a cleaner and clock (really a clock). I go with the basic everytime because the blades are about $28 to replace so I have a lot of old razors. Hope this helps, and yes Phillips should let you replace the batteries rather than toss the old unit when the batteries fail.

I have no idea how to compare. I only know that the opener we purchased has been a blessing.No failures and it's opened all types of jars in lieu of using muscle that may stress one out.I had shoulder surgery and this product saved me the embarrassment of telling the wife I couldn't open it.I would imagine that Black and Decker or Hamilton might be more expensive.

I like my Worx but I have a small yard to mow. I've never tried to stand it on end. I haven't heard too many good things about Black & Decker especially the batteries. That was one of the reasons I went with the Worx as it charges quickly and is easy to handle. If you don't like it you can always return it.

I hate to say this, but just throw it away. I have been using the cheap Black & Decker and it makes great coffee - they only last a year but for $20 they are worth every penny. I truly hate Cuisinart products and will never buy them. Such a great Company at one time. Now garbage products.

It was my second choice. The Panasonic was $150 more(at the time) and I liked the sealed motor on the Prolux 7000. I had a older Panasonic industrial before before but it was not as good, smaller motor, more plastic parts and kind'a noise. But the Panasonic is still a good sweeper. Its your money I can't tell you which is best. I just liked the Prolux more for the price. Time will tell it I made the right choice. My girlfriend thought the red color was bad ass and as long as she is on the other end of it (and not me). What mom'a wants mom'a gets!

Mine broke too. When I called the company they could replace it in 10 weeks or give me a different brand. I couldn't wait so I took the other brand (Black and Decker) and I don't like it. It would have been worth the wait to wait for the juiceman.

Black & Decker should take care of you... Call 18005446986. It has a two year warranty, so if you bought it this year you should have no problem returning it Gary.

I don't know which has more power ....... I am very satisfied with the black & decker, very satisfied ...... I especially like the ball headed attachment ...... use it just about every other day because a cat lives in my house ...... it's dandy.

To be honest, I would never us B&D; for heady duty jobs. They're pretty much the bottom of the line as far as quality and reliability. Look for Dewalt, Ryobi(that's what I use) or Skil. Home Depot usually has one of them on sale. hope this helps. Charlie

I don't think that I am the person to answer this question. I would suggest going to the Black and Decker web site and iquiring there. I would think that they could appropriately advise you. Thank you for placing your trust in me. I LOVE the Gizmo!

Contact Black and Decker. They should be able to give you an accurate answer. I have a different model than you are inquiring about and I would not want to give you inaccurate info. Good luck.

FOR JOBS AROUND THE HOUSE, HOBBIES AND SUCH. YOU WONT FIND A BETTER TOOL.THE ATTACHMENTS ARE GREAT . EASY TO USE PLENTY OF POWER ..I have all of them and was really amazed at what they could do..The 20 volt batteries are pricey.So may I suggest whe Amozon has the drill on sale at 59.00 buy a second one. For the exstra 15 to 18 $ you get another drill and charger for almost the price of a exstra battery.If your husband is in construction no.he would need a much heavier drill.I never thought MUCH OF BLACK n DECKER TILL THE MATRIX DRILL. I SEE NOW OTHERS ARE TRYING TO COPY.BOTTOM LINE. GREAT BUY ESP.FOR THE MONEY. THE LIGHT DOESNT LOOK LIKE MUCH BUT NOT A DAY GOES BUY I DONT USE MINE.
