Update Pros and Cons

Pros

This model comfortably holds ~3/4 of a 50-lbs bag of fertilizer. For 5,000 sq ft lawn or less took me take less that 10 minutes.

Cons

My stripe is narrower than the wheels. Just friction of a hollow axle in a cheap plastic wheel" "the plastic broadcaster unit is about the same height as the top of the wheels" "i have a dead strip around the entire edge of the lawn.

Either framing is bent or position of drilled holes for mounting basket is off. There is no screw or pin or anything that holds it in. I think as it is spinning fertilizer gets under the blade and it starts to walk up until it is off and then it slips... Read More

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

Seems very sturdy and the setting abilities is great.

It is well made and holds a lot of fertilizer.

One thing i noticed is that it "leaks" at the beginning, even the manual trigger is not on.

It's even adequately controlled using the right edge stop for doing the perimeter first.

Price

Great price perfect size easy to put together

Spreader works very well and at a good price.

Moderately priced but could be 3% cheaper….

Good price and product… just a little awkward to use the handle but it works fine

Packaging/appearance

Arrived well packaged, with almost no assembly.

Opening it is a little surprising as it does just come shoved in a box.

Competitiveness

There are several spreaders on the market, but for overall quality and price, scotts is hard to beat!

There are better products for less money!
