I live in a condo community, have a small yard and a small "common" front yard so I didn't want a big spreader. I bought another brand that is green which failed to work well. This spreader was so easy to use and worked very well. I would recommend this to anyone with small areas to cover - easy to use, easy to load and spreads evenly. If mine died, I would buy another. I am impressed.

I was trying to figure out how to spread wildflower seeds, which are spread at a very low rate, much to low for any settings on my normal broadcast spreader. I saw this on Amazon and thought it looked to be worth a try. The adjustments proved to be easy, and after a bit of experimentation, the spreading of the seed proved to be very easy. It is easy to clean, since it is all plastic. I found a real useful tool!

3.0 out of 5 stars Better than the alternatives, April 26, 2010

This is the third hand-held spreader I've tried in the last month, and it is much better than the competition. In trying to spread a bag of Ironite on my lawn, two other brands which will remain nameless (one green, the other yellow, you will see them both in a certain home supply big-box store) jammed constantly, and eventually broke. This one would occasionally have trouble starting to spread (if granules were on/around the spreader wheel, I would have to shake/pick them out before starting to turn the crank), but once it was going, it kept going without jamming (protip: start turning the crank before pulling the trigger). On the downside, the capacity is not that great compared to other brands, and it left blisters on my index finger the first time I used it. You should wear leather work gloves if you're going to operate this.
