2.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Product, March 31, 2010

This review is from: Earthway 2050SU Deluxe 80-Pound Broadcast Spreader with 10-Inch Wheels (Lawn & Patio)

I'm blown away at all the good reviews of this spreader. I received it, and will use it until it breaks, but my old Scott's brand was way better.

Pro's: It's built solidly enough

Con's:

1. It has no lever, like most I've owned that stops the spreading when crossing your driveway or side walk etc. You have to lift the spreader up on the left wheel so the right wheel doesn't rotate. However, even when you do, you have a 4" stream of product across the hard pavement. How ridiculous!

2. I have spread different size pellets for different things, and when you open the slots, no matter how slightly, it leaves a 4" high X 4" in diameter pile of product.
2a. When I spread Moss Preventer the other day, it would not spread, and I kept have to lift up the spreader and firmly hit the ground with it so it would start again. I had to do this the entire time I was putting the stuff down. What a piece of junk.

3. The directions are very clear, on what setting to choose, however, it doesn't correspond to anything close to a slow even spread.

Overall, I could not have been more displeased or disappointed with a product. You know the drill though, it's a pain to return stuff, so I'll lift and tilt and struggle with this until it's time to get something new. I would have given this a 1 STAR, but it wasn't made flimsily, so I'll be charitable. Whoever designed this needs to be fired. A spreader where the settings are wrong, that doesn't spread evenly, that leaves lines and piles everywhere, and that jams constantly is probably not the best design in the world.

I have just gotten my Earthway 2050SU spreader and was very pleased with how simple and sturdy the spreader is. It is ver easy to set the regulator and I was elated that it somes completely assembled. It seems to be very sturdy and I expect it will last for a long time to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Earthway Garden Spreader, May 8, 2009

I am very happy with this Earthway spreader. I bought it to replace a Scotts Speedy Green and the Earthway works much better. The hopper dispersal system is a better design and spreads the chemicals more evenly than the Scotts model I had. For $55 this is a great product.
