This product is well made, but the company only intends for it to be used with high priced Scotts branded products

The drop spreader settings on this type of spreader are unreliable and innacurate, but the margin for error for most of the modern products from Scotts allows for this.
The company does not provide much usable info.

I will look for another brand no matter the cost in the future.

We apologize that you are not thoroughly satisfied with your Scott's Turf Builder Classic Drop Spreader. While our spreaders are designed with the use of Scott's products in mind, you are able to use other products with them. However, we do not have a comprehensive guideline for settings of non-Scotts products. We want you to be confident in our products and for this reason, we offer a satisfaction guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please call us and refer to your review to see what can be done. You can contact us here :http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5.

Perfect Spreader for Small Yards
on April 12, 2019
Posted by: ghouk270
from Weaverville NC
I bought this spreader several months ago. It works just as advertised. I ALWAYS use ONLY Scotts Fertilizer! In the past, I would try and 'cheat' by purchasing a less expensive fertilizer ... there would be clumps that would cause the spreader wheel to 'stall' and skip along the grass. This spreader does NOT do that if you use Scotts!!! And, just in case your product laid around too long and has lumps, .... break them up by hand (wear gloves) and this spreader will perform for you.
I purchased the Scotts Lawn Plan through the Scotts Lawn App.... they sent all the fertilizer I needed for the whole year... the app tells me when to apply with my Mini Broadcast Spreader.
I installed an irrigation system last fall which cut in my already green and plush lawn. Using Scott's products has already filled in most of the trench lines.

Small size does big work!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I unboxed my new Scotts® Turf Builder® Edgeguard® Mini Broadcast Spreader when it arrived. I loosened the handle bolts and moved the upper part of the handle into place. The handle bolts and wing nuts tightened up with no problem.
I took the grass seed I wanted to spread and poured a small amount into the hopper expecting it to work like other small spreaders; problematic. To my surprise this little spreader is a beast. Even though I have about 2 acres of lawn area total it works like a champ. I especially like the edge guard feature around our ornamental gardens. This is one tough little workhorse. A big thumbs up from this happy homeowner!

Excellent Spreader

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Scotts® Turf Builder® Edgeguard® Mini Broadcast Spreader a few weeks back and used it to start my spring fertilizer routine I use every year for my lawn. The Scotts® Turf Builder® Edgeguard® Mini Broadcast Spreader comes equipped with an EdgeGuard that will help you spread your fertilizer evenly and accurately. You can turn the edgeguard so no fertilizer will go on your flowers or shrubs by mistake. this is one of the many great features this spreader has. Another feature i like very much is that it has a precision rate setting to deliver more accurate coverage for your lawn. this is one of the best spreaders i have ever owned. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent spreader that gets the job done. I wish i could give it 10 stars.

Poor Quality
on April 25, 2019
Posted by: Rob A
I purchased this spreader a week ago.I was going to spread Tall Fesque grass seed
but the seed jammed up the spreader and it wouldn't move.This spreader doesn't
come close to the old metal drop spreader.Save your money and buy a different brand.

It's a winner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This spreader was very easy to set up for use. I just love the compact design on this. It is perfect when you just have an average size front and back yard to seed and fertilize. I found it to have even distribution and the edge guard really helps around gardens where you don't want the seed to go. The compact design also makes it easy to store when you do not have a huge shed to keep it in. Overall I think it is a keeper.

Excellent spreader

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This just made my life easier. Just bought a new house on a 1/3rd acre of grass it held a whole bag of weed and feed and cut my time in half with using this spreader versus my hand spreader. Fast and easy!

SUPER, BEST I HAVE EVER USED. BEATS DROP SPREADER

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] HAD ALWAYS USED A DROP SPREADER. THE NEW EDGEGUARD IS SUPER. YOU CAME SEE THE FERTILIZER BRING SPREAD WITH 2 SETTING. ITS GETS THE JOB DOWN FASTER THAN A DROP SPREADER.WILL NEVER RETURN TO A DROP SPREADER.
