Scotts is unmatched for quality and support
on July 6, 2021

from NJ
I have an older (35+) yrs., Accugreen drop spreader which this model replaces in model number only. Recently the axel rusted over time failed and snapped wheel off.
I contacted Scotts and they mailed replacement, axel, bearing and assorted hardware. I replaced all and the spreader is working beautifully. WHAT A COMPANY....NEVER BUY ANOTHER BRAND..

Works Well

I have had this spreader about 3 years now and it's still working great. In winter I use it to spread ice melt on the driveway and in Spring and Fall I use it to spread fertilizer and grass seed. It does what it has to do. I get my exercise too as I use it on an acre property.

Not compatible with Scott's fertilizer
on April 22, 2023
Posted by: Dustincj00
I have an 18000sq ft lawn. Purchased 2 42lb bags of Scotts turf builder weed and feed. Each of which do 15000sq ft. At the recommended setting for Scott's rotary spreaders of 3.5, I used 13 lbs of product. .72lb/1000 SQ ft. It was supposed to be 2.8lbs/1000sq ft.
I called support and they said that it's normal to have leftover product and to not use any other setting then 3.5.
Scott's needs a conversation for this spreader!

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Edgeguard Mini Spreader and appreciate your feedback.
Use extreme caution if going over the lawn again. We can not determine exactly what setting would be appropriate for reapplying over the same area again. It is always better to underapply than to overapply. Overapplications can cause severe lawn damage. We recommend you check the calibration of the spreader.
We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

Scott’s know it’s JUNK!!
on July 30, 2024
Posted by: Run4tuna
Ruin my lawn. Some of Scott’s products require the lawn to be wet or damp. The wheels are cheep hollow plastic pieces of crap. When they get damp or wet and what ever product you’re using clumps up all over the inside of the wheel. Eventually it falls off and causes wheel burns all over your lawn. My lawn is ruin. It’s burnt everywhere. Which is going to cause me to buy Scott’s grass seed to fix all the damage. So maybe that’s what they had in mind when they design this piece of crap. Double dipping isn’t that what it’s called. Not to mention when I want to include pictures of my bunt lawn it won’t let me!

Nice smaller spreader
on November 12, 2018

from Ohio, USA
Gender:Male
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This spreader is good for small lawns. I really like the guard, so you can keep material from going where you do not want it. The spreader it easy to use and plastic makes it easy to clean. Metal parts tend to rust on other spreaders.
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective, Good Directions, Quality, Value

Shrinkflation!!!
on February 21, 2025
Posted by: Boo Hoo
Scotts, you should be ashamed! When did you change the packaging from 5,000sqft to 4000sqft? Shrinkflation!! This 4 pack is now 4000sqft to small for my lawn.

Disappointed in Scotts, poor product.
on August 9, 2023
Posted by: Dave123
Worst spreader I have owned. Replaced a Scotts metal spreader I had for 20 years. The calibration for the drop is incorrect and varies depending on the product. Constantly clogs on wet grass no matter the height of the grass. A simple fix would be bigger tires, but this option is not available. Do not buy this product.
