It is everything I hoped for

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The spreader is lightweight and rolls easily, spreads product evenly, and covers much more ground than my old drop spreader. It saved me time and energy.
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had mine since I built my house in 1991! It is old and battered but still works great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I store my spreader in the attack when not in use in the summer and winter. I live in Georgia and the temperature is very hot in the attack. Every spring and winter I bring it down to spread my Scott's bonus s on my centipede and St augustine and it still works great after 24 years!
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective, Quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my Scott's Turf Builder broadcast spreader for several years and have had no problems. Because of the chemicals in the fertilizer, it seems I was replacing other spreaders every few years due to rusting or deteriorating parts. My Scott's broadcast spreader is still working as well as the first day that I bought it.
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective, Quality

Hard on the hands with no lock on handle
on July 6, 2018
Posted by: SouthernOregonBob
from Southern Oregon
I have used Scotts products for years and lost my old spreader in a garage fire. I purchased a new Scotts replacement spreader. Things seemed fine looking at the box and was interested in the new Edgeguard so I could get close to the planters. My old spreader had a lock on the handle so when you were making long runs you didn't need to hold pressure on the handle to release the fertilizer. After using this new spreader without the lock I realized how important that was. By the time I'm done my hand is getting sore and I put off using the spreader knowing its not going to be easy to do the entire yard. I have over a 1/4 acre of lawn. I'd trade the edge guard for a lock any day

Does not cover uniformly
on September 28, 2018
Posted by: DFC31
from Michigan, USA
I bought the medium sized edge guard spreader. I applied a typical commercial fall lawn fertilizer according to directions the second week of September. A few days later, I started to see brown streaks in my lawn. They were about six inches wide and were in a cross hatch pattern corresponding to the path I followed when I used the spreader.
I understand that it is possible that I bought bad fertilizer, or that I applied too much, but I do not think so. In any case, the fact that the burning is restricted to a narrow swath, indicates that the spreader is not spreading the fertilizer uniformly.
I returned the spreader immediately, so that it will not cause more damage to my lawn.

We are very sorry for all of the problems you are experiencing with your lawn and Scott Turf Builder Edgeguard DLX Broadcast Spreader. There could be possible causes for the browning streaks in your lawn: dog damage, insect damage, fungus/disease, overapplication of a fertilizer/control product, or lack of watering. We recommend that you have the lawn diagnosed to determine the cause. If you are willing, please contact us at http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5 so that we can rectify this for you.

Five years and counting

I have had this spreader for five years. It has given reliable service. It compliments the ease of use like other turfbuilder products. Easy to clean up and light weight. Only complaint is the rivets holding the frame together have been a little loose since day one. That issue has not gotten worse over the years of use though.
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The spreader is accurate in applying the appropriate distribution of turf builder and weed control products. Storage is easy as the handle folds up.
