ScottsTurf Builder EdgeGuard Mini Broadcast Spreader for Seed, Weed and Feed, Fertilizer, Salt, Ice Melt, Push Spreader Holds up to 5,000 sq.ft. Product

Love that it comes already assembled and all I had to do was raise the handle and tighten it into place. Works very well. Super easy to use. Set the dials to the required or desired settings, dump in the feed, seed, weed killer, salt, etc and go. I'm only 5'1" so its comfortable to push doesn't kill my back. Has a large spray pattern so not as much walking as I thought I would have to. Sprays out fairly evenly and dont have to walk super slow but at a steady pace.Can hold an entire 20lb bag of weed and seed. Easy to clean. Spray down and wipe or air dry. Excellent quality, value, and durability. I recommend if you're needing a spreader for any reason!

Built Well and sturdy. I thought the handles were missing !! They were tucked under. I at first thought they forgot to include them, my bad! Lol ….Happy with the product!

I used to work for Scotts/Trugreen and I can tell you that applying liquid or granular fertilizer is an art that takes some practice to not stripe a lawn. Too many homeowners think that it's a one and done treatment. A couple of tips;1: For inexperienced homeowners, stick to a 10-0-10 EXTENDED RELEASE type of fertilizer. You only need the Phosphorus part on a new or reseeded lawn.2: Apply at the recommended rate or less for your spreader. Practice on your driveway to see how far your spreader throws it at a normal pace. Try not to overlap too much if at all.3: Plan on spreading a normal or weak mix every 4-6 weeks from early spring to late fall in the snow belt. Never walk on frozen grass.4: Whether you use liquid or granular, it needs to be watered in. If you don't water your lawn between the rain showers, don't even bother fertilizing as your lawn will never look good.5: Use a granular fert with premergent as your first application. This will stop most weeds and Crabgrass from emerging in the first place. Pre_emergent is a SEED GERMINATION preventer. It does not kill weeds that are already sprouted and growing.6: Do not spread new grass seed in the spring as the pre-emergent will kill it and you will also need to water the entire seeded area weekly all summer. Wait until the fall. (Sept. Oct.) .7: Don't bother with granular weed killer/fertilizer combos, which is different than Pre-emergent/fert combos.8: When using liquid weed killer, only spray where the weeds are. Anything else is a waste of time and money. Weed killer is a CONTACT KILLER and needs to hit a weed that is already growing.9: Aerate or Aerate/Overseed every fall if your budget can handle it. If you overseed, make sure you give it plenty of water between the raindrops and stop using weed control after seeding.10: If you overseed, only spread seed on an area that you can water weekly, every week, if it doesn't rain. If you have a big lawn, you will probably not water it all every week and the new grass will die off.11: Don't scalp your lawn. Lawns should be 3-4inches. Cutting it short during the growing season can actually make it grow faster to get back to a healthy state. A longer lawn is cooler, retains water longer, and lets less sunlight penetrate to the soil where the weed seeds are lurking.12: Don't expect instant results. If your lawn has been neglected for years or more, it can take 2-5 years of time and money and water to get that golf course lawn.13: Try to water in the early mornings. You want the water in the soil before it gets too hot. Watering at night will promote damaging fungus on your lawn.14: Water is the most important, (and most neglected), part of a healthy lawn. If you can't or won't water between the raindrops, don't bother with fertilizer as it will be wasted. Use preemergent once in the spring and spot treat for weeds as needed.15: Plan on spending $500-$1000 an acre, (or more), for a perfect lawn with fert, weed control, mowing, trimming, aerating and watering. How much depends on how much you do yourself and your local climate.16: If you can afford it, put in a programmable underground sprinkler system. It will save you time, water and hassle.

All i had to do was snap on the wheels. I've never spread grass seed before but it's the easiest thing ever. Dump seed in the bin, choose a setting, hold the lever and start walking. Crazy easy and I learned something new.

The Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard Mini Broadcast Spreader is a fantastic tool for anyone looking to keep their lawn healthy and lush. It holds enough product to cover up to 5,000 sq. ft., making it ideal for small to medium-sized lawns. I love the EdgeGuard feature, which helps prevent product from spilling onto driveways, sidewalks, or flower beds.The design is compact and easy to maneuver, and assembly was straightforward. It spreads fertilizer and seeds evenly, ensuring my lawn gets the care it needs. The comfortable handle makes pushing it around simple, and cleanup is quick and easy.Highly recommend it for anyone who wants a hassle-free, efficient spreading experience!

Works much better than anticipated. Spreads much quicker and easier than handhelds. Id avoid the naysayers though I only just got it, will update review if it begins to fail

Works as intended for lawn products. However, I had to purchase a new one because ice melt causes corrosion to the extent that the spreader was not usable. Perhaps my fault for not recognizing the risk and rinsing the spreader to remove residue but a lesson learned.

I had a good amount of people warn me against the Scott’s spreaders but I had an Edgeguard previously that worked well for me so when it was time to upgrade I figured I would stick with Scott’s and go with this pro model and I regretted it after about 7-8 months in.For starters, the edgeguard function broke around the time the warranty went out, and I should’ve known it was coming because I had several issues with it before hand. When I contacted Scott’s then instructed me on how to adjust/calibrate the edgeguard but I am constantly having to fix it, which I shouldn’t have to do every time I use a product that was $150 in my opinion.The spread is inconsistent as well, I can use the same product on the same setting walking the same speed on two different mornings and the consumption/spread of the material will be different, it’s frustrating.The storage capacity of the bucket is solid, pretty consistent with the competition. The design of the walls doesn’t allow the material to slide all the way down when it’s low so you have to shake it some, which seems common with spreaders at this price point.The only feature I’ve been happy about on this product is the lock that keeps the handle down so you don’t have to hold it the entire time you’re applying fertilizer or whatever, makes it more comfortable.I’m a fan of Scott’s, but this is a purchase I wish I could take back
