Scotts Elite Broadcast Spreader with EdgeGuard

Really pleased with this, having bought many spreaders before, this was study and easy to use and fully assembled.

The hoppers, a good size the edge guide works fairly well. Just don’t think that the edges perfectly straight where it’s shooting the particulate out of the hopper. It has metal turners in the bottom, dual hopper drop of the fertilizer so that the old plastic ones were garbage as the gears would wear out in no time. I bought two as mentioned above because the price was so good. And please to this point as I’ve done my 2 acre lot a couple of times and gives a better spray area. I think I’m about 7 feet or more so less walking as it has a dual spreading device under it compared to a single.

Started taking care of my own lawn last year and neighbor decided he would too so we went in together and bought this spreader. It does a great job, spreads crabgrass preventer and fertilizer evenly. Can hold quite a bit of product but I only fill it up about half way seems to help me manage it better while walking my one acre yard. We always wash it out after each use and let it dry out before putting away. Hopefully will last for years to come.

Work well and good construction. Only problem was the trigger to hold the hopper open did not latch but for my small area did not matter too much. Overall a good product.

The unique twin feed design of this spreader did an excellent job of spreading both grass seed and fertilizer. I had my neighbor push the spreader so that I could stand in front of it to observe the spreading pattern and it was much better than the regular single feed design. The upgraded quality of the wheels made the unit much easier to push even when the oversized hopper was full. So why did I give it just a single star? The linkage between the hopper and the trigger failed within 2 hours. So the unit did not last a single day and I returned it to Amazon. I have been using the single feed Scott's spreaders previously, but found that I have to replace them every 2 years on average because of various breakdowns. I was hopeful that this new Elite spreader would be of better quality and that is why I upgraded to it. Unfortunately, that was not the case, and so this will be my last purchase of a Scott's spreader. I have communicated to Scott's previously, recommending that they not put their brand name on such inferior products. That if they cannot sell a good quality spreader, they should not sell them at all.UPDATE: After returning the spreader, I decided to give Scotts one more try and purchased another Scotts Elite Spreader. After using the replacement spreader for 2 years, I was gratified to find that this time the spreader has performed perfectly. Thus, I have changed my rating to 5 stars. The original spreader must have just been a lemon.

This Scotts Elite Spreader does a really good job overall. It’s easy to assemble and feels sturdy and well-built. The large hopper capacity is a big plus since it covers a lot of ground without needing constant refills. It spreads evenly for the most part, which helps keep the lawn looking consistent.The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that occasionally the distribution can be slightly uneven, especially on turns, so you have to pay a bit of extra attention while using it.That said, it’s still a very reliable and efficient spreader, and I would definitely recommend it for regular lawn care.
