Simple and Gets the Job Done
This spreader works well for basic lawn care. It’s lightweight, easy to push, and the EdgeGuard feature helps keep fertilizer or seed from spreading into areas you don’t want it, like sidewalks or driveways. It was quick to put together and holds enough product to cover a decent sized area without constantly refilling. The settings are easy to adjust depending on what you’re spreading. Overall it’s a solid, simple spreader that does exactly what it’s supposed to do and makes yard work a lot easier.

Affordable spreader for small lawns
Simple and effective at spreading grass seed, fertilizer and food. Purchased to use for a small lawn (20x10) and works great. Would recommend a larger spreader for larger lawns.

It's RELIABLE, unlike battery operated ones.
No. I actually don't like it. However, between even Scott's own product and another one that I tried, I was tired of the battery operated ones crapping out on me within 1 year. I was wasting money in the process. Some things I suppose were never meant to be automated or power driven. I did not want the bulk of the wheeled media spreader in my garage when not in use. This is much more discreet. No electronic parts or batteries needed; nothing susceptible to corrosion. This is going to be extremely reliable through the years unlike the other garbage that I bought.

SCOTTS EDGEGUARD DLX BROADCAST SPREADER
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).

Good Product
As expected, Scott's stuff is well tested and designed. have had several over the decades, this one has some improvements over prior years. Seems expensive, but value appears to be there.

Solid Upgrade
This is a great upgrade to the prior model - holds more, more sturdy and not too much more in price. Very easy to put together!
