5.0 out of 5 stars A must for the driveway!

My husband love his new salt spreader. We had been using a seed spreader for years thinking that it was just fine, but after using this one this winter, we would never go back. So many features make this tool perfect and easier to use with salt. A great purchase, super sturdy and so convenient!

Beats out a few preceeding spreaders for salt.
I expect years of use

Somewhat difficult to assemble but once together it is very easy to use. Great solution to spreading salt over a large area.

Stay far far away from the product. If I would have just bought it during the snow it would have went right back. The handle mechanism that controls the release of salt is cheaply made. This product is only good for very refined salt like table salt. If I only knew that this was the trash that purchased.

Versatile construction and easy to assemble if you have a decent eye for assembling things. The directions are as good as asking a dog for the best way to clean your shoes. You get absolutely nothing out of them.

Other then that, the real rubber tires are great for getting through snow without the wheels gliding. Hold plenty of salt for sidewalks and paths and is easy enough to push when full.

All around a solid product with the price. You can obviously get much better but you will pay accordingly, this I see as a healthy compromise

4.0 out of 5 stars Missing holes
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2024
The spreader seems sturdy and arrived mostly assembled. Just a few parts need to be attached, these being the auger (2 options) and handle (2 methods for install). The auger is to stir the material in the hopper so it flows, and the handle assembly can be attached permanently or collapsible for storage.
One missing and very important option are the holes to attach the handle. I was able to drill the holes, but not everyone will have the needed tools. It was probably a quality control failure since the manual shows the holes as pre-drilled. I could have sent it back, but I would have dropped it to 2 stars in that case.

Now that I have the baffles figured out, I need to wait for the next storm to see how it performs. Was using incorrectly, initially.
