Very easy to use and does an excellent job.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon using this spreader, it is easy to load, easy to adjust the spreader setting to the product being used and the most important feature are the wheels being large enough to easily push through my lawn with little effort. Clean up on the spreader is very easy with a water hose.

Poor overall quality.

I bought the Scott’s Classic Drop Spreader to spread Scott’s Turf Builder on my home lawn. Setting up the handle was easy, and I set the gauge. I put less than half of a bag in, and quickly discovered that the right wheel would NOT turn. I then emptied the herbicide out, and the unit then rolled easily. I then put the herbicide back in and I had the same problem...the right wheel would not turn. I took the unit back to the store for a refund. I think Scott’s makes good herbicides, but Scott’s drop spreader is a piece of JUNK! I am now going to find a Lesco spreader, that my landscaper told me about. I hate buying cheaply made items. I hope Scott’s looks into this lack of quality in their tools.

Just okay
on July 1, 2023
Posted by: Denny1234
This spreader works okay with Scott's fertilizer, but it does make lines when going in one direction. I believe the wheels block some of the fertilizer from broadcasting. For this reason I cut the settings way down and go in multiple directions. Also it's impossible to find the application rate settings for other products when it's not listed on their bag, probably because different products have different size granules, but they could give an estimated lbs/1000sq ft based on their products.
P.S. I don't need an automated response to call a customer service number. I'll make it work until I buy a different one.

Bad design
on July 21, 2023
Posted by: Ken Ven
The design is horrible on this spreader. There is no guard on the rear of the spreader table. This causes fertilizer to drop straight down. I now have lines of fertilizer burn in my lawn. Horrible product.

Not a long term use product.

1) Axle rusted at wheel connection.
2,) The orange part deteriorated (crumbling), but still fintions.
2,) The orange part deteriorated (crumbling), but still fintions.
I had the this and other Scotts' units for several years. Each one of them failed due to rust or poor materials.
This model in particular rusted at the point where the wheels are attached to the axel. If there were replacement parts I could just replace the axel and be good to go.
The wheel axle issue, IMO, is a unforgivable manufacturing flaw. The inner and outer axel "tube" could be coated as to be more chemical & rust resistant...particularly at the wheels since one cannot realistically clean or wash/rinse that area out.
The orange plastics is just a poor choice of material. Again either a better raw plastic material and/or coating to protect it from the sun and chemicals used in lawn care
I just bought a new one of this model and the axel design appears to be the same. The orange and green parts changed slightly, but if would appear the 'new' orange part would work in the old unit.
Over the years other Scotts' Spreader units failed similarly within a few years of use...even though I wash/rinsed the units after use.
Besides being able to buy replacement part rather than replacing every few years...I wish there was a stainless steel and/or solid plastic/ axel & handle version.
