What Customers Are Saying

The product appears to have mixed performance. While some customers report it is easy to use and effectively spreads fertilizer and seed, many others have experienced issues. The spreader frequently leaves uneven, striped patterns on the lawn due to a design flaw. The plastic components are prone to breaking or wearing out quickly. The calibration and settings are often inaccurate, causing customers to use too much or too little product. The Edgeguard feature is unreliable and frequently malfunctions.

Spreads well - works better if the hopper is full

Would Recommend

I decided to try a motorized spreader because I hoped the fertilizer distribution would be more even since the motor speed would be constant in contrast to that of a manual hand-held spreader, which can be affected by the speed the crank is turned. In that regard I was happy with this spreader. The only real issue is that the insides of the hopper need to be steeper, so that the fertilizer flows evenly to the "exit hole" (not sure what else to call it). As it was, I had to occasionally push the ...
