Scotts Whirl Spreader

Love that it comes already assembled and all I had to do was raise the handle and tighten it into place. Works very well. Super easy to use. Set the dials to the required or desired settings, dump in the feed, seed, weed killer, salt, etc and go. I'm only 5'1" so its comfortable to push doesn't kill my back. Has a large spray pattern so not as much walking as I thought I would have to. Sprays out fairly evenly and dont have to walk super slow but at a steady pace.Can hold an entire 20lb bag of weed and seed. Easy to clean. Spray down and wipe or air dry. Excellent quality, value, and durability. I recommend if you're needing a spreader for any reason!

Worke great for grass seed and ice melt!

The Scotts Elite Spreader—-This is a great spreader! It easily handles a big load and is easy to push; easier to push than the mini version. I would have given this 5 stars but it was missing an essential part. The Elite has two gear box’s that attach to the axil. There is suppose to be some part like a pin clip that attaches the gear boxes to the axle so that the when the tires rotate, the axle rotates, which of course rotates the gears, which rotates the the spreader plates, shooting out the fertilizer. But the gear boxes were NOT attached with a lock pin or any kind of pin. When my spread arrived in the mail, I needed to use it immediately. It was easy to assemble the wheels to axel and supposedly was ready to spread. I put in fertilizer and began to push the spreader on my grass. But no fertilizer was spreading. I pushed the spreader on to the sidewalk to see what was the problem. I eventually noticed the gear boxes were not attached to axle. The instructions listing the parts only had hardware for attaching wheels to axle; no lock pins of any sort for gear boxes. So gear boxes should have come already attached. Fortunately I have collected years and years of screws, nuts, bolts, washers, and lock washers. I was able to find two skinny screws the fit the holes and nuts, washers and lock washers small to be able to attach the gear box’s. Not the perfect solution but one that worked. The picture attached to these comment shows you that screws were longer than needed but at least were skinny enough get through the holes. So it was an easy fix. However, the Scott’s product inspector should have caught this before it was shipped. That’s their job (assuming Scott has inspectors)! Obviously the product was not pushed to see if it actually worked! Or maybe the inspector was jamming to some tunes with their ear phones on and assumed the product worked fine because other inspected worked fine. There seems to be a lot of that kind of quality anymore. But once I fixed that, this elite spreader worked great. I’m very pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone. No doubt if purchased from a local store it would not have this problem, but probably would have would have cost more.

Bought this as a temporary spreader for calcium chloride over icy sidewalks. Works very well for that, and may last a long time for this purpose if kept dry, and cleaned at winter's end.

Easy to use. Works well to control the flow, prevents waste of ice melt. Looking forward to using in spring for seed spreading.

Scotts DLX Edge Guard Broad Cast Spreader... 5 STARS IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO... 20 POUND FILL LIMIT...Over that...you're abusing it. CAPS POPPING OFF... yes, it can happen. WHY?...The axle slides sideways back and forth about 1". Keep it level. Only the right wheel spins the spreader, the left is free wheeling. Banging the spreader on one wheel or the other, can pop off the caps. I'm going to try epoxying them on to prevent that. UNEVEN SPREADING... happened twice. One was a clump. Dug it out, and broke it up. The second time...ooops,forgot to turn the EDGER OFF! SW Fl, thick floratam lawn, for $100 or so... Ran great out of the box. Expected some hard pushing, none. First use on a 15,000 sq. ft. lawn, ran 1 10lb. bag, and then another, rhen a 20 lb bag, and then another 20 lb. bag. Rolled smoothly, spread nicely. (70 yr old, in pretty good shape).

Don’t know why I was think I’d need an electric one. This works great for my mid size yard. Fill up a couple times and good to go. Spread is great. You’ll still need to do it by hand for this dead patches that need extra attention but this is awesome. Dial available for controlling quantity.

Works fine, just make sure to set the amount you want to cover. You might try different settings to get the amount of coverage you need. Well made works fine.

My dad had the old tin version of this spreader years back and it was the only thing all 4 of us wanted when he passed. I was extremely happy with it and hopefully my husband will not over fertilize from now going forward

Buen producto calidad - precio

肥料などずっと手撒きしていたのですが施肥箇所のムラがあったり、肥料を持って歩いたりと大変だったのでこちらを購入しました。半信半疑だったのですがとても満足しています。

Works well

An excellent bit of kit, robust and easily adjustable.
