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.

Poor gearbox design
on April 18, 2021
Posted by: braunjo
from Swift Current, SK
The spreader only lasted for 3 applications before the gearbox case separated and the gears no longer line up therefore just making a lot of noise while the spreader no longer spins.

This piece of junk does not feed from the hopper.. It took me an hour to do a fifteen minute job and I have no idea it it was distributed evenly. Hopefully I can find a better brand.

Not accurate
on May 3, 2021
Posted by: Blackwolfe
from Bozeman
I have 18,000 sq. Ft. Of lawn, I bought 4 bags of 15,000 sq. ft. coverage bags. Step 1 says to select number 3 on spreader, which I did. I did my whole lawn and had a little over half a bag left. I ended up going over my whole lawn again to use all of bag. Opening on spreader is obviously way off !

Poorly engineered

With the edge guard feature a gap is created above the diverter and drops extra product on the lawn which shows as a line.
