Ratings & Reviews for Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard DLX Broadcast Spreader 46-lb Capacity Compatible with Ice Melt, Salt, Fertilizer, Seed
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers are sharply divided on this spreader. Many praise its ease of use, lightweight maneuverability, and large hopper capacity, noting it's simple to clean and store. However, nearly as many report severe mechanical failures—plastic agitators breaking, wheel axles snapping, and edge guard cables severing after minimal use. Uneven fertilizer distribution is a frequent complaint, with customers describing visible striping across lawns despite proper calibration. While some value the edge guard feature for keeping fertilizer off driveways, others report it fails within a season. Overall, this spreader polarizes users between those satisfied with handling and those frustrated by premature failures and poor build quality.

A solid spreader, but lots of plastic for the price.

Poorly Designed
Would Not RecommendEdgeGuard broke on fourth application last year. Plastic wheels are awful on clay type soil, does not withstand rough terrain of bumpy clay soil. One wheel is now becoming loose from rough terrain. Only 14 months old. Dissatisfied

No one trials the product?
Gets clogged easily with product. Mixer is redesigned from my older model and ineffective. Company needs to design a retrofit that will fix the problem. I’m about to put it at the curb.

Do Not Recommend
Purchased new DLX spreader and Scotts Weed & Feed – 1) the settings listed on the bag are not even close to producing specified coverage 2) Using fresh, dry, fine Scotts W&Feed the spreader works fine for 10’ – 20’ then product discharge drops to trace amounts. Bounce or shake and it’s good for another 10’ – 20’. Distribution parts tight and appear to function properly with no slippage when empty.
