Measure the area you are working! I never did!
I did not like the lack of detailed instructions on what settings to use. I require details and steps to take. Guess I’m just not all that smart.

Product seems good
Would RecommendI know now what happens to items put outside and forgotten. The give them to people who get curbside. Left where pigeons roost, I'm guess on bird species. Product works great after a thorough cleaning. If I wanted to shop I would not have picked the one I was given, even if it where the last.

Whirl feels better at first spin
The previous handheld spreader (not a Scotts} lasted one application before seizing up. The Scott's Whirl turns better, spins much smoother and makes quick work out of spreading fertilizer and pest prevention consistently over my 5000 sq. Ft. of yards.
