I've bought the cheap spreaders before this one and have to say this one out performs the rest. Good, even distribution of fertilizer, easy to put together. Money well spent.

2.0 out of 5 stars The old green spreader ain't what it used to be, December 31, 2007

The wheel broke as the spreader was being assembled and Scotts hasn't seen fit to send the replacement they promised. With snow on the ground now, it's not that important but I'd say old Scotts is not quite up to par.

1.0 out of 5 stars Junk ... axle locks up and handle doubles over, June 26, 2010

By 

G&LStratMan (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scotts 74101 Basic Broadcast Spreader (Lawn & Patio)

These are junk ... the last one I'll buy from Home Depot or Lowes ... the axle/rotor mechanism doesn't work well and the handle, while made to disassemble easily and fold, is a severe weakness of the unit. It's very frustrating to be pushing 25 lbs of fertilizer only to have the axle lock-up and spill half of the load on the lawn - it burns the grass and is time consuming to clean up. Scotts has low brand reputation with me ... words like "cheap" and "consumer grade" and "Made in China" come to mind ... boy something more commercial grade and use it for years to come, that's my plan.
