Scotts EasyGreen Rotary Spreader

I am giving this a 5 star review on the basis of its price (very reasonable) and effectiveness (which surprised me). Compared to my old drop spreader if provided a very even spread. Ten days after spreading, the fertilizer the grass has greened up nicely. With the old drop spreader you could see the lines where I had traveled quite clearly. With this spreader you see none of that. Its totally even, even though at times I got a little lost on where I had been and had not been. The ground in my garden is a little uneven. The spreader coped with it well. I was a little worried from the pictures that the handles would be a little low and I would end up walking along hunched over. But once again it was fine. It is also worth saying how easy this was to assemble....literally 2 minutes. In the interests of balance I must say I have serious doubts how long it will last. But given its price, it still represents excellent value. I have used it twice. My garden in 1/3 acre. I covered that in 30 minutes. I will let you know how long it lasts. For now though, very happy.

This review is for the Rotary Spreader. Having previously owned both the Drop Spreader and the Easy Spreader, I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur of these things. The Rotary Spreader is the easiest and quickest to use. Because it sprays the granules out over a large area, you don't have to be quite as precise as with the other two spreaders. The product came pre-assembled, so you are ready to go in no time. It comes with simple instructions with pictures, explaining exactly how to get the best outcome for your lawn with this device. The broadcast of the spreader (how far it sprays to the sides) is about 2 metres if you walk with a quick pace. Because of this, it is suitable for medium to large sized gardens. I find this Rotary Spreader more forgiving than the other two spreaders to use. No matter how closely I followed the instructions, I always ended up with scorched grass when I used the Drop Spreader and the Easy Spreader. Not so with the Rotary Spreader. Scotts lawn fertilizers often contain ferrous sulfate (moss killer) which is highly corrosive to metals, so after each use, give your spreader a good hose down, and then spray WD-40 onto the metal parts to prevent corrosion and to extend its life.

It''s a reliable tool for spreading grass seed and lawn care products evenly. It’s easy to use, with adjustable settings that ensure precise application. The spreader’s wide coverage area saves time and effort, making lawn maintenance a breeze. However, it is on the pricier side, so if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, you might want to consider other options. Despite the cost, its durability and efficiency make it a worthwhile investment for serious gardeners.

I borrowed a friends Rotary Spreader similar to this one, just a few days prior to ordering one for my wife and I. It arrived well packaged and very easy to assemble, in fact most of it was already done, I only had to put on the handle and a couple of clips to hold it all together and hey! Job done. Tested it on the grass and it works fantastically! covered the grass area very quickly and our lawns look much better for it. No back-breaking exercise to use as it is very simple, lightweight and easy to store away. The handle allows you to stop and start spreading as you please whilst the valve adjuster allows you to regulate the amount or rate of feed that is distributed. I rated it 5 Stars because it is simply that good and at a great price too.

I was a little dubious about product at first as I's loked around and seen a few bad reviews regarding the effectiveness of rotary spreaders, I needn't have been! It was easy to put together and if you follow the instructions of the spreader AND of the manufacturer of whatever it is you are spreadin gthen you'll have to be some sort of idiot to not get this thing working smoothly. I initially did a run with a grass seed/weed and moss killer mix in early May and followed it up again with a grass seed only run a couple of weeks ago. Overall my lawns are looking really healthy and I know that this has been a major factor in that. My advise when using it is to just walk at a steady pacy, I've seen a few people seemingly getting confused by this when operating what is in effect such a simple piece of equipment to use but for me I found that it spread consistently and evenly whilst I just walked slightly slower than a normal walking pace

This is a great, well-priced (ok, cheap!) spreader. There's minimal assembly required (basically unfold the handle, tighten the nuts and you're ready to go). Adjusting the output of the spreader is simple, but different to all the other spreaders I have used - previous spreaders have all had an adjustable lever, while this one operates via a twisting dial - and I managed to overseed and feed a large lawn with no problems. Prior to owning one of these I used an EarthWay spreader that cost approximately 3x what this one did, felt much flimsier, and only lasted a couple of seasons, so I'll stick with these from now on, unless this one falls apart before the end of the season (I'll update my review accordingly if that happens!)

I bought this again even though my previous experience of it was not that good. I will make sure I maintain the new one better. As you can see from the photo attached, after a couple of years use , a wheel dropped off the old one after it rusted through and broke off . I liked using it when it was operational and it did a good job this my reason for buying it again.

Does the job, cheaply made and will fall apart with rust after roughly 6 seasons of use. Had others in the past. Washed after every use! I still recommend it because of the over all pro's and price.

He utilizado el esparcidor para abonar y echar semillas de césped y es comodísima. Os dejo una foto del abono repartido después de pasar el escarificador. El reparto es homogéneo, mucho mejor que con la mano, y tan cómodo como pasear por el jardín. Tiene un sistema de control de la cantidad de gramos que quieres echar, aprox, y resulta muy útil para esparcir distintos calibres de productos como abono, semillas, etc... Muy buena compra y recomendable. Aunque se use dos o tres veces al año sin duda merece la pena.

Gerät lässt sich exakt auf die richtige Auswurfmenge einstellen, der Radius liegt bei rd. 1,80 Meter, was den Düngervorgang gegenüber herkömmlichen Streuern deutlich beschleunigt. Gerät macht einen robusten Eindruck.

Prodotto per uso hobbistico, per giardini (il mio fa 500 m2). Ruote leggerine, come un po' tutto del resto. Non va maltrattato, ecco. Però il suo lavoro lo fa. L'apertura si regola facilmente tramite la ghiera posta sulla maniglia dell'apri-chiudi. Ho riscontrato che con le vibrazioni tende a muoversi e perdere la regolazione. Va tenuto d'occhio. Per il prezzo pagato, va più che bene.

Siempre he echado el abono a mano. Este producto te permite una distribución comido y uniforme. El producto viene ya montado y es muy fácil de usar. Totalmente recomendable
