Would RecommendThis batter operated spreader makes spreading granules a breeze! Simply dial the knob to the specific setting recommended by the product manufacturer, fill with granules and begin spreading! It works so fast that I take my bag out with me to refill instead of needing to return to the garage each time. It sprays granules at around 5 feet in distance. It does tend to get dusty with that falling in/on my shoes and clothes. I took my shoes off in the garage and immediately headed to the shower to pr...

Works great!
Would RecommendI bought this a month ago and am so happy I did. I can broadcast seed or fertilizer with one hand and it’s really nice. The hopper is also a decent size and the settings are clearly marked…just turn the dial. I was actually shopping for a small spreader and got this one instead. It even comes with the battery already installed.

Dont Trust
Would Not RecommendIt worked fine. Came with its own batteries. My mistake is I trusted the batteries. I used the item 40 days ago and was satisfied. Went to use it again today and it would not work, but found that the "batteries included" had LEAKED and spreader no longer functions!

Efficient spreader
Would RecommendThank you Scott
Poor condition
I purchased a NEW spreader. However, I received a USED unit that was dirty, had fertilizer residue in the bin and had batteries that worked but tested as having half life. This is the last time I will purchase a lawn product from Lowes.

Huge upgrade from hand crank
Would RecommendThis was I huge upgrade from my old hand crank spreader. Made over seeding a breeze! I only have 2300 sqft, but after aerating and spreading compost all day, this little upgrade was well worth it. I do wish it had a better hopper mechanism to draw seed down to the spinner, but a quick shake solves that.
