Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard Mini Broadcast Spreader

I have been using the Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard Mini Broadcast Lawn Spreader for nearly two years now, and it continues to impress me with its reliability and ease of use. Right out of the box, there was no assembly required, which was a pleasant surprise. The pre-calibrated settings and the fold-down handle make storing it a breeze, and I appreciate how versatile it is—I've used it mainly just for spreading lawn food and grass seed. The hopper is just the right size for my needs, easily holding enough product to treat my smaller yard without being too bulky to handle. I especially like the EdgeGuard Technology, which does a fantastic job keeping fertilizer off my driveway and flower beds, making clean-up much easier. The spreading mechanism is smooth and even, ensuring consistent coverage every time I use it. For anyone looking for a dependable and convenient spreader, I highly recommend this product.

Great spreader that gets the job done. The Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard Broadcast Spreader is easy to use right out of the box and does a nice, even job distributing fertilizer and seed. I especially like the EdgeGuard feature—it really helps keep the fertilizer off the driveway and sidewalks. This spreader holds approximately 25 +/- lbs of Scotts fertilizer. The broadcast of the product (I was using Scotts) was applied evenly to the lawn. Easy to push, easy to hold the trigger--no hand fatigue. Perfect size for small to medium yards, and the fold-down handle makes storage simple. Highly recommend for hassle-free lawn care! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars!

Works great.

The best spreader for anyone with less than an acre of property. This spreader maybe small but it can throw product as far as the bigger units. The edge guard is a great feature as well. It’s very light but built very sturdy. Selection of the opening sizes accurate. Its contact size makes it easy to store. The handle does fold down so it’s very compact to store on a shelf or in a corner. It will never rust because it’s made from very thick plastic. You hose it off and it looks new. Great little broadcast spreader.

This spreader works well for basic lawn care. It’s lightweight, easy to push, and the EdgeGuard feature helps keep fertilizer or seed from spreading into areas you don’t want it, like sidewalks or driveways. It was quick to put together and holds enough product to cover a decent sized area without constantly refilling. The settings are easy to adjust depending on what you’re spreading. Overall it’s a solid, simple spreader that does exactly what it’s supposed to do and makes yard work a lot easier.

Very durable and stable, easy to put together. Highly recommend this item. No issues with seller, on time.

The price of this product was very good and it gets the job

I've had a Scotts drop spreader for many years, and although it is still working, bought this broadcast spreader for one primary reason. When applying Scotts weed and feed fertilizer you are instructed to cut the grass and water it before applying the fertilizer. The discharge holes on the hopper of the drop spreader are so close to the ground that due to the dampness of the lawn, the fertilizer gets partially clogged and the discharge rate gets compromised. So, I thought this spreader would solve that problem. After assembling this broadcast spreader (which was quite simple) and doing the same preliminary steps with the lawn, I started broadcasting the fertilizer. All was well for about 1/4 of my lawn until I needed to refill the hopper. That's when 2 things happened; during the refill I accidentally tipped the spreader over, spilling some of the fertilizer. (There are 2 issues here - the center of gravity of the spreader is high, and the rear support is considerably undersized). Then, after getting it operational again, even though I hadn't changed the setting of the spreader, the output suddenly and dramatically increased, maybe tripling. So, I immediately stopped, emptied the hopper, checked the setting apparatus, and finding no problems, refilled it and continued broadcasting although at a lower setting. (I ended up using a 2 setting for about 2/3 of my lawn although the bag said to use 3-1/2. If I hadn't made that change, it could have possibly caused lawn damage because of over fertilizing). After finishing, I noticed that there was considerable fertilizer that had accumulated on the insides of both wheels and on the underside of the rotary plate. Apparently, the wheels had thrown wet fertilizer onto the plate which may have impacted the rate of discharge. I've attached 2 photos - one showing about 2/3 cup of fertilizer I collected from the wheels, which I dried and put back in the bag for future use. The other photo shows a 16" extension I made for the rear stand to try and keep it from tipping over in the future. This extension was made from a scrap piece of 1/2" PVC pipe and 2 pipe end caps, which are secured to the metal bar stand via 2 hose clamps. I sprayed it black to make it look better. So, I'm giving this spreader a 3 rating because of what I consider to be 2 design flaws - hollow wheels on the inside which collect considerable fertilizer and throw it on the rotary plate, and a poorly designed stand for the rear support. I noticed that this spreader has fairly good reviews, so maybe I'm just the unlucky one with my experience. Hopefully the next time I use it will be a better experience. I contacted a Scotts customer service representative about these issues, and although he was polite, was of no help to me.

This spreader was a huge let down for me, If i dont use the edge guard all the time it drops a thicker line of seed and doesnt actually spread it as much. its no good on left leaning hills as you get low on product as only has 1 wheel as the drive for spinner not both, The hooper is terrible design and holds the last bits up to high and doesnt fall into the shoot, It needs to be shaken a lot to get the seed into the shoot / gate area.

The product works exactly as expected and feels well made. It was easy to use, arrived in good condition, and has been reliable so far. For the price, I think it offers very good value. I’m happy with the purchase and would recommend it.

An excellent bit of kit, robust and easily adjustable.
