Ratings & Reviews for Scotts Whirl Handheld Spreader 8.0-lb Capacity Compatible with Ice Melt, Fertilizer, Seed

Plastic spreader

Performs as it should, but why is it so expensive?

Good product

It works just fine for spreading grass seed

Convenient

Easy to use even for a large area. Small enough for easy storage.

Spreader

It's a simple spreader and it works for what it's intended to do, but a bit overpriced.

I needed a new spreader and this one is great

Don’t waste your money

You have to put a lot of pressure for the weed and feed to dispense. It’s very hard to use and doesn’t dispense evenly at all. It’s better to spread by hand.

You don't need a big spreader!

Quality Product. So easy to use for small yards

A little overpriced

A little overpriced for a bunch of plastic, but does the job

This is okay - if you don't use anything heavy

this is a great design, and it does it's job well, but it uses the WRONG materials. The plastic teeth that connect the right wheel to the shaft wear out and then it won't turn the spreader plate making it useless. The entire rest of the product is fine, but the WORKING part breaks. Along with that ,the two legs that hold the wheel shaft can't handle the weight of heavier items like fertilizer if you fill up the hopper. 46 lb capacity is a JOKE. Because of that, they have bent in, which then...

Drive wheel failed after 4 uses.

I used this spreader for lime, seed, and fertilizer. The drive wheel splines (plastic, of course) failed rendering the spreader useless. This is the 2nd DLX I've bought -- the first I returned to lowe's after it failed the first time I used it. These spreaders are junk.

Poor Dispenser

From day 1, this spreader under dispensed. I would finish my lawn and noticed more than half full. I did it again and still had a little product left. I did it a third time. I checked everything. Called Scotts, found that factory setting on 5 allows a 1/4 inch drill bit in opening. I noticed the wheels/axle were stiff to move. I wash and rinsed the unit. WD40’d everything. Noticed push and wheel rotation much easier. Didn’t last, next time I used it the agitator couldn’t keep the hole ...

Long lasting

Spreads fertilizer quick and easy

Easy to use spreader

Has 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.

Pretty good little spreader

Works pretty well. Just make sure your seed is not clumped up, because the spreader will jam

As advertised

I liked that I could order on line and pick the item up and hour later.
