5The Best Hand-Held Spreader on the MarketJan 04, 2006
By L. Zajicek "ArtIsLove"
The MOST important and distinguishing feature of Scotts Hand-Held Spreader is its ergonomic design, which unfortunately cannot be clearly seen in the poor picture provided. The spreader has a "sleeve" which rests against the bottom of your forearm. If you think that this is not an important feature, you are simply mistaken. Once you have loaded the spreader with fertilizer, you may easily hold and try to balance 8 to 10 lbs. with one hand/arm. (Sounds like a little, but it actually is a lot.) This spreader spreads its weight across your forearm away from just the hand, thus allowing you to apply the fertilizer more evenly and comfortably. With its ergonomic design and, thus, the nullification of the weakness of the wrist, this spreader is in essence an ARM-HELD spreader, not a hand-held spreader, making it the best spreader of its kind on the market -- period.

1Used to be Good, Newer Version is TerribleApr 30, 2009
By Backbutton "Notify, Confirm & Assure"
I've used the older version of this spreader model for years, it was great. As my existing spreader was 6-8 years old, I bought another in Home Depot in April 2009. Upon use, it became hard to turn. Thinking I got a defective one, I took it back to Home Depot and exchanged it. Upon using the replacement, it also became very hard to turn. I think debris get into it and gums up the turning mechanism. I called Scotts, the first rep said they have not had other complaints, and asked if I knew how to use it. I made the observation that in revising the product, and making it cheaper, the product is now flawed. My previous one had three screws on the bottom and the crank is also attached with a screw, and if things got stuck, it could be taken apart--the newer one is all snapped together, with no screws, and since the seams are not perfect, debris get into the mechanism. The newer version may be cheaper to manufacture, but the revision caused the problem. I am glad to see Reviewer EEB's comment also, to know that another person had the same problem. I called Scotts again, and the second rep was more attentive to customer concerns, unlike the first rep--who basically said they don't have a problem. The second rep said that he would notate and bring this issue to the attention of the proper people. I hope they bring back the previous version of this spreader, the version with the screws on the bottom. Scotts Handgreen II Hand Held Broacast Spreader #71133

2Jams upJun 05, 2009
By Jarra
Anything that's a little powdery gets into the gears and jams up the mechanism, and it can't be taken apart for cleaning. Maybe a perfectly uniform product like manufactured fertilizer would work well, but I have tried using organic lawn fertilizer and Lily Miller lime and they both jam it up.
UPDATE: I successfully freed up the mechanism by soaking it in a bucket of water and spinning the broadcasting rotor by hand.
UPDATE #2 I drilled some 3/4" holes in the bottom that expose the gearing so I could clean out the junk and spray the gears with silicone spray. That really made it work well.

1Works Lousy - It JamsMar 26, 2010
By Musicman
I had an old Handygreen II spreader that I bought in 2000. It worked great. Bought a new one at Lowe's in mid March 2010. The first time I used it, it repeatedly jammed so that the handle wouldn't turn. I think the fertlizer gets caught below the whirlybird device and jams it. The old version never jammed. Maybe the Scotts company just wants you to use Scotts fertilizer which has really small particles. I was using a different brand which had the little pellets. In any case, don't buy this one....you'll just end up returning it!

1A Defective ProductOct 08, 2009
By AFColonel
I had a similar experience as others have written about in their reviews. The first time I used this spreader I found that it became difficult to impossible to turn the crank handle after a few minutes. Apparently the seams where it is put togeter allow the product that is being used to get into the gears while it is in operation. I will be returning mine to Home Depot where it was purchased a short time ago and look for another brand.

Stay away from this poorly made spreader....save yourself a headache and time!
