My first day to use this product and it failed on its second load. I filled it 1/4 full for my first pass to know what the settings needed to be. Filled it a second time 1/3 full and about half way through the spinner quit spinning. I had to finish with my hand spinner. The hand spreader has always worked good. I thought I would lessen my work by getting a big spreader. This was not the case. I will return it tomorrow. I do not recommend this product.

I bought this “PRO” fertilizer spreader last summer and used it once for fall application. This spring filled with Scott's product, but now the broadcast wheel will not turn. There is no adjustment that can be made to get the wheel to turn the shaft that drives the spinner...... plastic junk!!!!! VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS EXPENSIVE piece of junk!!!! I do not recommend purchasing!!

Bought new Scott's Edgeguard Spreader at Home Depot this spring. Never should have given our neighbor our old Scott's spreader from years ago. It worked OK but thought the upgrade feature of Edgeguard would be nice. Last fall we did EXPENSIVE complete kill, new soil, seed of our lawn. Now using the Scott's Edgeguard we have stripes in our new lawn! Seems were I Walk it's dropping more fertilizer than it should. No matter what I do. Triple checked and definitely not user error. Wide yellow/light green stripe and narrower dark green striped repeating pattern. Very disappointing. Looking for a replacement spreader now. And different brand than Scott's!

Haven't used this spreader much but filled both tires with air after coming out of storage for the winter because it wouldn't roll with pellitized lime loaded in it. Boom, one tire exploded shortly after. Filled both the same way 25psi max pressure. Need to locate parts to repair or scrap the unit.

I've tried using this spreader a few times in the fall, and this winter to put down ice melt. On all occasions I had issues with it. Both involved engaging and releasing the spreader handle. On multiple occasions, I would engage the handle, and the chute to spread product would not open. After trying to finagle, shake, etc., the spring would snap open and then work. I mean it really sucked when I would push and see no product coming out. On other occasions, when releasing the handle, the chute remained open and the fertilizer continued to spread despite releasing the handle. This spreader cost to much to have these issues during the first uses. I also had a problem with a cheaper Scotts spreader which led me to this one. I thought this would be better quality but it is not. I'd look around if I was looking for a spreader.

I usually research before I buy and did so on this product. I purchased the Scotts PRO Edgeguard Broadcast Spreader in Nov. 2017 and really probably start using it until the Spring of 2018. The edgeguard feature really has never worked properly with the slide lever. I even thoroughly clean after each use. Now here in Sep 2020 the wheel falls off, making me miss my opportunity to get my fertilizer down before the rain. If you want your spreader to last, don't buy this one. By other reviews, it seams the wheels falling off is common. This is junk!

Had this spreader for just one season and it never worked correctly. Out of the box it had a bad wheel, Scotts replaced it after waiting several weeks. Using the spreader was difficult, the wheels are too small to hold a full hopper and the auger design is a failure. The auger unit stops spinning and upon examination it appears to load up from debris from the fertilizer rendering it useless. It cannot be disassembled nor can it be cleaned. I tried everything to get this to spread with no luck.DO NOT BUY.

This spreader has been an aggravation since day 1. Thankfully it just broke so I can purchase a different brand.

The should have called this a "Green-Line-Maker", NOT a Broadcast Spreader! Thankfully, in the big scheme of things, it's only grass.

Thought by spending the extra money for a "better" spreader you would think it would last. After two seasons a wheel fell off. Plastic hubs holding the wheels do not hold up. Never purchase another Scott's spreader!
