Makes life easier for handicapped
This is a great help. Works very well. I am handicapped with trouble walking so I can drive my lawn tractor around while spreading various materials using one hand on steering wheel and the other operating the spreader. I wish the capacity was a little bigger. So very pleased and I will recommend it and re purchase if needed.

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser08/20/2023Great Hand SpreaderThis is a hand held spread. Since it battery operated, it's easy to use, and not to heavy when filled for a female to spread. Each spread covers several feet and you can finish the whole area quickly.Cinda

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser06/26/2023NO way to determine settings!Don't waste your time or money. I never write reviews and I've always bought Scotts but this is an embarrassment of a product. Absolutely no way to determine what settings to use. They give a half dozen examples of their products, other than that you're left guessing. How am I supposed to spread my non-Scotts stuff? I'm gonna buy a non-Scotts spreader and only non-Scotts products from now on.Jim14500

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser07/06/2022Fairly good, minor flawsSuper excited that this is battery operated because my other handheld spreader hurt my hand after cranking on it for a while. This one is more comfortable. I'm still getting used to it. It works fairly good, definitely does a good heavy spread if you want it, but I find I'm constantly having to shake it to get the fertilizer to move down toward the hole. Then it's not coming out as evenly as when the container is completely full. Either way, it's a great idea, and less expensive than the alternatives and it does a good job. I will be taking batteries out for the winter so they last longer. And it came with batteries already inside it which was super great!kathycat13

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser06/25/2022dead on arrivalI would give 0 start if I can. On delivery package: There is 0 protection. I received a box with no protect bubbles, foams, nor paper scraps to reduce collation damage, it's just the spreader sits inside the box. On the product: The battery compartment including the battery cover is located inside (literally inside) the spreader. there is no way to open the battery cover with bare fingers. You have to prop open the battery cover and hurt your finger. The included battery does not power the spreader. After replaced the batteries, this spreader powered on with empty load. Then only worked like 5 seconds after I loaded 2 cups of ant killer. ended up manually do the work with this thing.timOnleash

1.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser05/15/2022Wizz=JunkWhat a piece of junk! I was expecting it to spread the grass seed evenly. But I end up with more piled up under the spreader disc than on the ground. I should have known better - Scott's used to make quality products. Not anymore. Now all you get from them is plastic junk!Scott_C

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser12/11/2021Works well for meObviously, the convenience of battery operated over turning a crank handle is easier. That said, with four AA batteries and a tiny DC motor to spin the spreader, don't expect this to be all that robust. It gets the job done. Maybe the worst part is the screws to hold the battery compartment cover. A bit of a poor design, they are a pain to remove and do it on a bench or table so you don't lose them. Some complain this may just quit and after fresh batteries, the first thing to check is the loose wire inside that runs up to the switch. It just presses on. All in all, for the sale price that is similar to the crank model, it is reasonable enough to give a try. It will easily spread grass seed and flake ice melt, but for fertilizer, you will have to mark off a section and test to realize/calibrate the application rate for whatever you are using.DJ
