What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this handheld spreader for its lightweight design, simple crank mechanism, and reliable performance across grass seed, fertilizer, ice melt, and other lawn treatments. Reviewers consistently highlight exceptional ease of use, even coverage, and effectiveness in small or hard-to-reach areas where larger spreaders are impractical. Many compare it favorably to previous models and appreciate its compact size for convenient storage. The adjustable output by walking speed and crank rate allows precise control. A small number mention price concerns, and a few report isolated durability issues, though these are rare. Overall, most customers consider it a valuable, efficient upgrade for small lawn care jobs.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Not a precision tool, but can spread stuff even
Would RecommendNot very precise if you are trying to do things accurately as both your hand cranking and walking speed wildly affect the distribution of the seed/fertilizer. If you are planting new grass seed it also doesn’t spit out enough so you have to stand in one spot a while. Main benefit is doing a reasonably good job with an even distribution and it’s up to you to kind of judge how fast to go.

Used
I bought this about a month ago, I had it delivered to my car and honestly it looked used. It was dirty and had clearly been used and returned. I was in a crunch otherwise I would have returned it but I was very disappointed.

First one
Would RecommendNever used a hand held. Worked great!
You don't need a big spreader!
Would RecommendQuality Product. So easy to use for small yards

Easy to use spreader
Would RecommendHas five different settings - the product I used required only one of them, so I'm not sure how effective it would be with other sizes. Seemed to spread fairly well. It has a little extender to support your arm so you're not holding just the handle, but it wasn't really comfortable for me so I didn't use it.

Very nice
Would RecommendWorks as it should. Nice seed capacity. The forearm brace relieves wrist pain. Better value than comparable products.

Decent spreader but cost is high for it
Would Not RecommendWorks well, but all of them in store were covered in dust and bird droppings. Pretty high cost for the product as well.
