Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard DLX Broadcast Spreader

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!

Scott’s Whirl hand, power, spreader,worked very well, especially with all the ice we have!

Works great. Better than a drop spreader.

This hand crank spreader is everything that I had hoped it would be. From the cleverly designed wrist support to the ability to expand or contract the aperture that allows the material to flow, this is thoughtfully designed and well executed. I foresee getting many years of use out of this spreader. I'm using it right now for ice melt during a winter storm, but I can also foresee using it to spread fertilizer or grass seed in the the spring. Very nice!

over the Deluxe Rotary model. The Elite version spreads very evenly, and it is way better than the Deluxe model I have (admittedly about seven years old), which spreads too heavily on the right side and too lightly on the left side (and has since it was new). This spreader throws very evenly to the right, left, and out front. I couldn’t detect any material coming out of the rear (a good thing). Their claimed spread distance of six feet from left to right is pretty accurate. This model comfortably holds ~3/4 of a 50-lbs bag of fertilizer. The dial setting seems to closely match the often-referred-to Scotts Speedy Green Rotary spreader. For my application, the Lesco-recommended setting of 5.5 for their 30-0-10 fertilizer I used it to spread was spot on. I put it through quite the test - used it on five acres. I planned to use it only for about the first 1 – 1.5 acres and then switch to a pull-behind for the remainder, but honestly, it went so quickly that I decided to just keep going. After a good bit of walking, pushing, and fertilizer pouring, low and behold, I had the full five acres done! After I finished, this spreader was still going strong, so I feel pretty good that it will at least last a few seasons for me (maybe more). The edge guard works better than on the Deluxe, but it’s still not perfect. It actually closes the opening for the left side spreader, but a small amount still got through. Honestly, I wouldn’t tout the Edge Guard capability too highly, so if you plan to use it, be ready for a little bit of material to drop once you disengage the edge guard. One con: Sometimes, when the hopper is about 2/3 to completely full, the outlets don't close completely when the handle is released unless you pull and release said handle quickly a couple of times. This didn't happen often, but I wonder if it will get worse with more usage as springs begin to lose tension/strength. It helps to remember to release the handle quickly, not slowly, in order to get the outlets to close when desired. Lastly - I use spray Teflon to lubricate the cables, gear boxes, axles, handles, and the open/close tabs at the bottom of the hopper. I believe this helps keep these items from sticking as time and use goes on, and it won’t make the fertilizer cake/stick to those areas like grease or oil will. Remember to wash it off and let it dry after using before applying the lubricant. Good luck and enjoy!

Such a convenient little hand held spreader for smaller areas. Worked well and high quality material.
