Edgeguard DLX Broadcast Spreader

Seems to work for a lot of people but not me.
Last fall I was in the market for a spreader that held more material so I wouldn’t have to fill up as much. I’ve owned the Scott’s Edgeguard mini for at least 5 years and it has worked great. So, I decided to purchase the Edgeguard DLX Spreader even though I had seen some bad reviews.
During the 2nd pass applying lime, the wheel snapped off! I grabbed my mini and finished the job with no problem. I returned the DLX and got my money back. A few days later I saw a landscape company working on a yard down the street and they were using the DLX spreaders and didn’t seem to be having issues. I said I’d give it another shot since I typically don’t have a problem with Scott’s products. Bought another one and applied winter fertilizer with it. I noticed that there seemed to be extra fertilizer accumulating inside the inner side of the right wheel which in turn was applying a little extra fertilizer to the lawn wherever the right wheel went but I didn’t think it was that big of a deal.
Fast forward to early spring and I have rows of darker green/taller grass throughout my yard. Grass came in fuller and greener every pass where the right tire was.
I think the DLX should not be used for anything other than grass seed or light weight fertilizer. Lime (even with the hopper not full) was too heavy and broke the wheel. Factoring that in with the inconsistent spreading I observed I will not be using the DLX anymore.
Pros: Easy to Use, Good Directions
Cons: Didn't work as expected, wheels, inconsistent spread
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this spreader in Summer of 2015 and it is so much better than my previously smaller one. This one only had to fill up once and was able to cover the entire yard. Had my daughters use this in Fall with some fertizlier and they loved using it and was so easy for them to handle. Thanks Scotts!!!
Pros: Easy to Use

useful but a little defect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having been used for a couple of years, the string connected to the automatic open/shut gate broke inside the somewhere in the enclosed part. Every time I need to close the gate manually; otherwise the granular powder will fall on the ground through the gate. It creates some inconvenience every time.
Pros: Easy to Use, Value
Cons: Didn't work as expected
