I’ve had it for 2 years with no issues
Other than pebbles getting caught causing overspread

We bought our drop spreader over 30 years ago, it's just starting to act up a little so we are looking to buy a new one. If you want something to last... buy Scotts!

Disappointed

Purchased specifically for applying Scott’s products that require applying to wet grass and having control around landscape beds. Mowed lawn with Honda mower set at next to shortest height setting and attempted application utilizing early morning dew to wet grass. Wet grass dragging along bottom of spreader causes openings to plug and clog and stopping product application. What is Scott’s thinking? I am going to try to salvage this spreader by increasing the wheel diameter. Do not purchase this spreader for applying products to wet grass. I would return it excepti ordered online during COVID-19 pandemic and is more trouble than it’s worth. I would like a Scott’s response to this post.

This product doesn't work on wet turf.

I bought a Scotts Classic Drop Spreader, and in the early morning while my lawn was wet with dew, I sought to apply Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed. The application instructions state that it is best to apply the product when the grass is wet, however, the moisture clogs the spreader discharge holes preventing the Weed and Feed from evenly going onto the lawn even though I cut the grass well short before application. Works fine, unless the product is to be applied when the grass is moist, in which case the spreader is not good.

Great Little Spreader

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Scotts Turf Builder Edgeguard Mini Broadcast Spreader does an excellent job of applying a variety of lawn products. I have used primarily the Turf Builder Classic Drop Spreader in the past. The Broadcast Spreader allows me to work in areas of my lawn around trees, shrubs and landscaping that were difficult with the Drop Spreader.

This thing is awful

Doesn’t matter what setting you have it on it fails to spread fert. I set it where the bag said, weighed the correct amount for the square footage, spaced my passes correctly and still had more than half a tub left. Increased the setting for the next area and same thing. Also it likes to fling fert into the wheel wells so it give your yard nice stripes. Just not the kind one would want. It’s total junk. Don’t buy.

Great customer service

I've had my Scott's Drop Spreader for 6 or 7 years and the calibration was off and spreading too much product even after I constantly recalibrated it. I contacted Scott's and they said no problem and sent me a refund so I could buy another spreader. Not only does Scott's make great products their customer service is top notch as well.
