Top reviews from the United States
- Jolene GriffinWorks perfectI love it. Holds enough to do a 6 car driveway without having to refill. Sprays it evenly so you don’t waste product.
- tanell davisBetter than using your handIt so good
- charps lecharpsWARNING TOTAL JUNK! DON'T BUY!!!!!!Total junk. Doesn't spread ice melt properly. Constantly jams. Also, it broke down component by component. First, couldn't adjust the gap (froze broken in place), then the hand grip handle broke, finally, the whole spreading mechanism broke and turning the handle did nothing, making it completely useless.
Don't waste your money on this one. - T. BrooksOkWorks pretty good
- Concerned ShopperPoor qualityThis works but I am not impressed with the quality. I want a spreader that spreads a great deal of salt but also is durable and long lasting. This after one use is showing break down. I would buy something else.
- YatsSpreads wellWorks great
- jayas advertizedjust in time for multiple snow storms. best spreader I have ever used with hand crank.
- jason jolgrenDidn’t work for meI bought it to spread bug killer granules, which is the same size as fertilizer. It jams up and does not spin as it should. Would not buy again.
