Junk

First time use it stopped working in about ten feet. Emptied the hopper to see if there was a jamb or something just blocking the feed chute. All clear. Fiddled around with it and got things to move the way they should. Filled the hopper only a quarter of the way to check it, and it only worked for about three feet this time. Everything just stops working. The wheels are moving but nobody's home. Buy something else.

I wanted to love this spreader but it's sucky...

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.

Broadcast Spinner Unreliable

I bought this spreader fall 2017 thinking the word "pro" meant it would last. I have used the spreader 4 times and the sometimes the spinner that broadcasts fertilizer works and sometimes it doesn't. I've noticed the local retailers no longer carries this model. This is very disappointing to spend the extra money for a "professional" model and not only based upon my comments but also many others, Scott's missed the mark on this product. I have always been a proponent of using Scott's products but this is making me question my decision.

Uneven spread - Lines on the lawn

Not impressed with the quality of this spreader given the price. I've used quite a few spreaders over my years and thought a Scott's spreader would be a great buy since they are in the business. Boy was I WRONG. There is a design flaw with this spreader that causes fertilizer to drop straight down when it hits the retracted edgeguard in the back. You won't notice this right away, but after some rain you will see 6-8" wide lines on your lawn where you walked.

poor quality

I bought this spreader about two years ago. At the end of last year, the tire went flat. I filled it with air and found that the valve stem is leaking. Also, the drive shaft is rusting. Very poor quality. I ill be looking for a different brand shortly.

Poor Quality - I learned my lesson by not reading reviews

I've had this spreader for a little over a year and the plastic on the wheel has degraded. (Poor engineering design for the price). I'd purchased this spreader thinking it would last as long as my previous Scott spreader (10 years Hard plastic wheels). I wanted the rubber tires to be smoother going over my lawn. Really disappointed in the product No I'm shopping for a new one

Very disappointed in the poor quality

I purchased this spreader with balloon tires and the edge guard features thinking that it was an upgrade to my previous Scotts Spreader that I gave to my neighbor. Every time I go to use it the tires are flat, today the spinner came off, when I put it back on the drive wheel seems to bind up and does not want to turn easily. There also is a grinding noise in the gear box, like fertilizer is inside. Not what I expected at all, very disappointed. Now I need to borrow my old spreader from my neighbor.

Horrible

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

Well, that was a waste of money!

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

Dont bother

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!
