A gadget I didn’t know I needed!
Would RecommendNow I’m not Bob the Builder or Martha Stewart but I managed to use this spreader thingy to put down my fertilizer! It’s my first yard and my first time needing a gadget like this. I used it for fertilizer. It was simple and easy. It sprayed the beads evenly and I love the adjustable dial to control the amount dispensed. 10/10

All products on the shelf and previously used
Would Not RecommendProduct worked good however thisunit and all the others on the shelf had seed or herbicide in the hopper leading me to conclude either they are all returns or someone in the store is demonstrating use to customers. All units were filthy. Do better and clean up your products before stocking them back in the shelf!

Works well for smaller areas
Would RecommendI like it. While limited in capacity, it isecently comfortable, not heavy, casts well and seems to handle even 10-10-10 and granulated material like mole repellent. 4-star because the rotor can briefly jam with 1/6-1/8" product, but it does clear without visible damage when re-started, shaken a bit or tapped with a little force. Only 2 brief uses, but I'm thinking it will hold up. I would not want to regularly work and acre with this, but fine for most yards or gardens up to 1/4 or even 1/2 ...

Worth the price
Would RecommendEasy to use and store

Expensive but effective
Would RecommendIt’s too expensive for what it is and the quality of build. That said, it works well so it gets 4 stars.
