Customer Reviews

Convenient, easy-to-use spreader
I prefer drop spreaders like these to broadcast spreaders because I feel they're more accurate. This spreader is easy to assemble--no tools necessary. You control the coverage by turning a dial on the central cable. It's marked from one to eighteen, so it takes a little guesswork to get the setting you want. The unit's light enough that even my eight-year-old can use it (as long as I don't fill it up all the way). After each use, I simply hose it off, let it dry, fold it up, and hang it on my garage wall. It takes up remarkably little room on the wall, about two foot square.

Scotts Drop Spreader dropped it on this one
When one hears the name Scotts, I automatically think "Quality". After buying the Scotts Accugreen 1000 Drop Spreader my thinking has changed. When the spreader is fully loaded with fertilizer, the wheel that turns the feeder mechanism in the hopper slides or skips on the lawn (rubber on the wheels probably would help) plus the handle bends when pushing the spreader (a T-Handle with channel iron would be sturdier). I had a drop spreader from another brand that lasted 22 years with no problems. This Scott spreader just appears to use cheap materials. Unfortunately, I bought this on-line and couldn't check out the product in person and relied on the "Name Brand". You'll be better off going to Wal Mart and checking out the off brand name spreaders there. Oh well, live and learn.

Good Product that can be had @ Wal Mart for $19.99 vs. $29.99 @ Amazon
I am happy with the product but I was disappointed to find out that Wal Mart is selling the same thing for $10 less. :(
