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.

If there were a no star that would be given.

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.

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.

Stripes of dead grass!
on May 24, 2021
Posted by: Jim48
from Fairfax, Virginia
After applying fertilizer, I found 4" wide stripes of dead grass, each stripe 5' from the next stripe. (Each pass of the spreader was 5' from the previous one.) I'm guessing that excess amounts of fertilizer came out the center of the spreader and killed the grass. Ugh! Obviously, I'll never use this spreader again.

mini spreader
on March 16, 2022
Posted by: Harry12
Wheel connector parts get corroded in one season. Can not find parts and do not know how much will it cost and where I can purchase. Wheel assembly came off from the handle bar, they could have used better paint.

If you follow the directions for the setting I end up with 1/3 of the bag leftover when there shouldn't be any left.

Buy This Spreader if You want a Lawn with Stripes
on May 6, 2022
Posted by: MM38
The spreader distributes the material into the wheels so it drops down directly under the spreader and does not apply evenly. I now have a lawn with stripes. Did Scotts ever test this? Waste of money.
