Westinghouse 18-Inch Corded Electric Tiller Cultivator — 15A Motor, 6 Steel Blades, 24 lb Foldable Handle

The Westinghouse W18TCAC is an 18-inch corded electric tiller with a 15A motor and six steel blades designed to quickly loosen soil and prepare flower beds and vegetable patches.

Whether you’re refreshing established beds or prepping a new plot, this compact corded tiller balances power and portability. Its 15-amp motor spins up to approximately 400 RPM to break compacted soil, while an 18-inch working width and 8-inch blade diameter let you cover more ground with each pass. At just 24 pounds with foldable handles and an ergonomic H-type grip, the W18TCAC fits small-to-medium garden plots and tight storage spaces.

How much area can the tiller cover and how fast does it work?

The 18" working width combined with six steel blades delivers efficient forward progress across beds and rows. The machine’s motor speed and blade geometry are tuned for steady soil turnover rather than high-speed chopping, so you get uniform results without excessive pulverizing.

• 18-inch working width speeds coverage of medium beds
• 8-inch blade diameter for deeper, consistent penetration
• Six high-strength steel blades provide even tilling in one pass
• Up to ~400 RPM motor speed for steady, controlled soil work

Can it handle compacted soil and what depth will it reach?

This electric tiller is built to loosen compacted topsoil and incorporate amendments down to a meaningful depth. An adjustable depth setting lets you choose shallow cultivation or deeper loosening up to 9 inches, useful when turning in compost or creating planting trenches.

• Depth adjustment up to 9 inches for versatile soil work
• Steel blades designed to cut through tilled and compacted layers
• Suitable for preparing planting beds, seed rows, and compost mixing
• Best for light-to-moderate heavy-duty residential tasks

How easy is it to move, operate, and store?

The W18TCAC weighs about 24 lbs and features an ergonomic H-type handle for comfortable control during extended sessions. Handles fold for compact storage and its modest footprint makes it simple to transport in a car trunk or garage shelf.

• Light 24 lb design for easy lifting and maneuvering
• Ergonomic H-type handle reduces wrist strain during use
• Foldable handles for compact storage and transport
• Simple corded operation—no fuel mixing or battery charging
