Great if you like your lawn to have zebra stripes
on July 15, 2019
Posted by: DW1970
from Stamford CT
I bought this Edgeguard Mini to replace my Scott Basic that stopped working. As several other reviewers have pointed out, the fertilizer does NOT spread evenly, and in fact leaves a fertilizer trail in between the wheels. The result? Deep green fast growing, overly-fertilized stripes of lawn and light green pale, under-fertilized stripes. The lawn looks terrible. I have used Scott products for years, but I cannot understand how anyone can give this poorly designed spreader a positive review. My beautiful lawn is ruined for the season...

NOT FOR SPREADING GRASS SEED!
on September 19, 2019
Posted by: Colin K
Don't buy this like I did expecting it to properly dispense grass seed, because it won't. The instructions label is somewhat misleading, as it states "fill hopper with Scotts Turf Builder product". This really means fertilizer products only, not grass seed, which just gets ground up and destroyed by the hopper agitator. There should be a statement on the labeling, warning against its use for spread seed!

Zebra Striping
on May 17, 2020

I bought this spreader. And I’ve been expiriencing a lot of issues with striping. This seems to be an issue with this spreader, as I’ve read a lot of similar stories online. Is there a way to get a refund for a better spreader or something? I use a lot of Scotts products and I would like the spreader to keep up with the quality of those products.

Terrible

Save your money. The fertilizer hits the guard and the wheels and drops large amounts of fert. Between the wheels. If it’s hot it will burn your yard or you’ll have bright green strips in your yard. Terrible design. How did this get by them

One flaw!
on August 2, 2020
Posted by: mdissapointed

Overall I like your spreader, easy to use, love the edge guard. My one complaint is the wheels, when using it in the dew of the morning, which is when your suppose to use the weed and feed, product sticks to the spokes on the inside of the wheel,where it builds up then starts dropping too much on the lawn. The first half of the lawn is great than the second half began to show streaks right where the wheel runs. Not impressed. Seems to me you should have a solid wheel, am I wrong, I'm not the first to mention this, do you not care?

Our apologies that you were not happy with the performance of your Scotts Turf Builder Edgeguard Mini Broadcast Spreader. Streaks in the lawn after application are almost always called by a mechanical problem or human error. Broad streaks are normally caused by pulling the spreader backwards, incorrect calibration, or an improper setting. We always want you to be satisfied with our products which is why our products carry a satisfaction guarantee. If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to us at 888-270-3714. Refer to this review when you call.

Poor design
on December 8, 2020
Posted by: Mcomp1284
from NY
Just purchased this summer. Due to the poor design of the spreader being located lower than the wheels on each side I now have zebra stripes throughout my entire lawn. The fertilizer/seed shoots directly into the wheels and heavily seeds or fertilizes in lines where it hits the wheels and then drops. Not sure how to fix my lawn, it’s going to be look like this at least through the winter. I was excited to get my new lawn looking great and now I am paying the price for purchasing this seeder.
