I'm not much for Gardner and I rarely put down product on my lawns or garden, but at least every other year I find that I have to get some weed and feed to keep my grass 'grassy' otherwise the weeds and clover take over. Had one like this that was a hand crank, but when I went to put some more weed and feed then I could not find it in my shed. Amazon had a good price on this one that is battery operated so decided to take a chance as it wasn't expensive. It works fantastic. Not only does it disperse the product evenly, it has a switch on one side where you can block the product to go out only on a 90° angle so that you can walk along the sidewalk and not waste your weed and feed on cement. So much more comfortable and fast than having to hand crank with more even product distribution. Ironically, after I put all of the product in with this new battery operated spreader and rearranging some things in my shed I came across my old wonky hand crank spreader. Ended up giving that one to Goodwill since this new battery operated one works so much better.

It hasn't failed yet. Doesn't jam up or nothing. Kinda pricey though. UPDATE: Lasted 7 months then stopped working. The battery compartment is leaking some black ooz. Not battery acid. Don't know what it is. Never got it wet. Going to buy another to see if I got a dud. It's weird. 🤨 Drop 1 star.

So far, this spreader has worked well for grass and other small seed. The dial is easy to use and I didn't experience any clogging. (Not sure how it would work for salt/melt but I purchased it for seed and/or granular fertilizer). I won't use it that much, just an occasional home user with a small yard, but it has worked well so far. The battery-operated nature is far superior to "hand crank" spreaders as it does not require both hands. One subtle benefit is that one can hold it in either hand while spreading, not generally possible with most crank spreaders. I am not sure how long the batteries would last but it worked fine for my needs. It has the "edge guard" feature, a simple lever which works to block seed from spreading out to the left side (meaning you need to walk clockwise around the perimeter of your lawn). One note on the batteries: It seems to take 3 AA batteries, which seemed not to be indicated in any of the specs or listings on Amazon or even on the Scotts website. (This would seem a nice thing to include). I was, however, pleasantly surprised to find the batteries included and already installed in the product (with one of those "pull here" paper isolator things to prevent accidental turning on while shipping. You do have to jiggle it back and forth a bit as the seed begins to deplete so that the remainder falls into the feed hole (perhaps a more "conical" design wouldn't need to do this, although that would presumably limit the capacity of the hopper or make the device unwieldy), but that's minor and not unheard of with these types of devices. The device comes almost ready to use (need to remove the battery isolator, mentioned above), with a promotional sticker applied to one side. I foolishly ripped this off (thinking it was just one of those glossy sales stickers) before noting it had the suggested dial settings for different types of seed/fertilizer/melt. So now I will have to glue it back on or otherwise not lose it so that the next time i use it I can know what the settings should be. (They also have this info posted on the Scotts website, I later found out). The price point was good (I guess it's a few dollars more than a crank spreader) but the ease of use makes it more than worth it. Note: I was NOT given the product or any other consideration in exchange for this review. .

I made this purchase mostly because I trust the Scotts brand and since I have used this unit I am happy with it! Packaging: This spreader was packaged well within an Amazon box, with filler to keep it secured in shipment. I found it adequately packed and shipping was fast, it was delivered on time as promised. Product: I've known this type of spreader as a "whirlybird" spreader and they used to have a crank handle, so it was very manual. This unit, is battery operated and is trigger activated. It's usage is very simple, it has a dial in the front of the hopper which will set the desired amount of fertilizer for dispensing. I was surprised at how much fertilizer this little spreader can hold. Pros: I enjoy using this because of mobility, wherever I walk I can fertilize! Eventhough the spreader is small, its' hopper is a good size and holds a pretty good amount of fertilizer. This unit is good for small areas and has a good radius of broadcast. Since it is batttery operated, no more hand cranking and the broadcast of fertilizer is more consistent. The spreader is activated by a trigger on the handle that when held down opens the hopper door and the broadcast wheel dispenses the fertilizer in the hopper. Just remember to keep a brisk, even pace when walking to dispense an even amount of fertilizer. Cons: I would not recommend using this spreader on large lawns, unless you enjoy spending all day fertilizing your lawn. While the hopper is of good size, it does not compare to a regular walk behind spreader. Since the hopper is smaller, filling the hopper on this spreader will be more constant than a walk behind and if one is not careful in usage the broadcast pattern of fertilizer can become inconsistent resulting in patches of unfertilized lawn. This is a battery operated unit so the possibilty may occur that it may stop working during usage, as walk behind spreaders are completely manual, no batteries needed. Over all, what was very appealing to me was being able to make sharp turns with this unit with the contours of my yard and also spot fertilize when and where needed very easily. Since my lawn is fairly small, I liked the idea of speed and ease of use with this unit. And lastly, this unit is much easier to store, more so than a walk behind spreader, so if space for storage is an issue for you, then perhaps this may be a suitable option!

I'm gonna go out and say I haven't seeded with it but I know it'll work just fine. I got this for salting my property. honestly, its gets hung up if I don't shake it while I use it. I'm not sure if its because my salt wasn't exactly dry (about 3 years old from having stocked up on it on sale years prior) its throws it evenly and is great for stairs and under vehicles. it gets all around just keep shaking it down. it got stuck open a few times when really big chunks fell through but you have to expect that. when your done it may be wise the run water through it to clean out that salt and let it sit for 24 hours upside down. the salt I use is Road Runner brand if that helps you visualize my product in anyway. anyway if your a business owner or property owner its a good buy you don't use less salt but the coverage is better and you don't have piles. you may find you use more or equal salt though because the spread is so even. cant wait to seed with it this spring I wouldn't fertilize with it though. being the green freak I am I don't feel its precise that way. no throw lines unless you keep you hand and arm stiff to your body the while time... ill just use my ground spreader

Scotts “Wiz” battery-operated hand-held seed spreader I bought the Wiz battery-operated spreader about three years ago. Over the past three years, I have used it only on rare occasions. It has never really worked properly. The motor often makes a sound like a car engine with a nearly dead battery, trying to start. The first time this happened, I naturally assumed dead batteries. But no. Then I hypothesized that the gears were jammed up with gunk from the fertilizer I had used it to spread. I disassembled the bottom section, but could not find any problem of any sort. This proved to be the first of several times I would disassemble and scrutinize the mechanical design of the bottom section, which has several gears of varying size and complexity, all made of hard plastic (nylon, I assume). Eventually, I determined that the only significant problem (other than the seed or fertilizer accumulating in the space below the spinner) is with the switch located in the handle. This design of this switch is terrible. Without removing the grip handle and disassembling it, it is possible to demonstrate that the problem is with the switch (the switch that closes when you squeeze the trigger). In order to correct this design deficiency, it was necessary to disassemble the handle in order to install a small toggle switch to bypass the switch that closes/opens when you squeeze/unsqueeze the trigger. Before I get too far ahead, I should mention that the second design deficiency, which is all too obvious, is that material that gets flung from the spinner in the direction toward the inside of the spinner enclosure falls to the bottom of the spinner enclosure, below the spinner. Then, it falls out in clumps. To fix this, which I haven’t yet done, there will need to be a plastic tray attached to the bottom, extending forward a couple inches and with a lip. To separate the lower section from the hopper/handle/dial, you remove the four big screws in the bottom. You then see that there are a pair of wires running between the lower and upper sections. When these two insulated wires make contact, this closes the circuit whereby the batteries supply voltage to the motor. The trigger switch does this, in addition to opening the little door in the bottom of the hopper, in accordance with the dial setting. The two wires are joined to a connector that is inserted in the lower section. You can pull this connector lose. In addition to separating the two sections, this will permit you to close the circuit by using a small screwdriver to short the two pins left exposed by removal of the connector. It is useful to do this because if you listen to the motor when you do this, you can hear how it is supposed to sound when the switch does the job that a switch is supposed to do. After reinserting the connector (or before removing it), it is possible to logically deduce that the switch is the problem. Jamming in the stirrer is eliminated because when the lower section is separated from the upper section, the stirrer cannot possibly cause a problem, so if the problem is evident, the cause cannot be the stirrer. This leaves just two possibilities: (1.) the switch located in the handle, and (2.) something within the lower section. The something in the lower section can be the motor itself, or jamming of the gears. But, if the problem is not reproducible when you short the switch with a small screwdriver, the problem cannot be in the lower section, and must therefore be a problem with the switch. If you open up the handle in order to examine the switch, you will see that the switch consists of two small coil springs, made naturally of steel. Above those two small springs that make up the switch, there are a couple of much larger springs, and there is a curved strip of black flexible plastic. The end of the black plastic strip is the little door at the bottom of the hopper, that opens and closes when you squeeze and release the trigger. One of the two large springs serves to keep this plastic strip pulled up into the handle, as far as the dial setting permits. The second large spring opposes the action of squeezing the trigger. When you squeeze the trigger, a comparatively large part made from orange plastic moves upward. When it moves upwards, two things happen. The black plastic strip pulls up, i.e., the little door opens. The large orange plastic part has a prong extending toward the two coil springs that make up the switch. When the prong is lower, i.e., the trigger is not being squeezed, the prong pushes the tightly curved end of one of the two small springs away from the coil section of the other spring. This means that the circuit is open whenever the trigger is not being squeezed. When you squeeze the trigger, the second thing that happens is that the prong moves up away from the two springs, allowing the curved end of one of them to move into contact with the coil section of the other one. There are several aspects of this switch design that conspire to prevent good electrical contact, when the trigger is squeezed. First, the spring with the curved section at its tip is much, much too weak. It needs to be at least 5x stronger than it is. I experimented with giving it one extra turn on the post on which it is coiled, but this changed the positioning of the curved tip in a way such that the electrical contact was even poorer. Second, the two springs are both made of strong, springy steel, which is not a good conductor to begin with. Third, the contact surface area is extremely small, which is due partly to the fact that the springs are made of very hard steel, as opposed to copper. If copper had been used, this would likely have led to a problem with surface oxidation. The solution to that is to use stainless steel, but only for the contact point, and for the contact point to be two mostly flat surfaces as opposed to the curved tip of one hard steel spring coming into very gentle contact with the coiled section of another identical spring. The curved tip of the one does not line up precisely with the orientation of the other’s coil, i.e., instead of snuggling together, one rests on one of the high points of the other. All in all, it is simply an unacceptably bad design for a switch. The thing I thought was oddest about this switch is the fact that only one of the two little springs does a spring-like thing. The other one is similarly wound, and it provides a contact point, but does not move at all. It does not do any spring-like thing. It would have been easier, and would have made a lot more sense, for it to have been a small cylinder made from stainless steel. If fact, that little piece could have been flat, in which case it would not have been necessary for the other spring to have a curved tip. It would only have been necessary for the fixed contact to rock just a tiny bit to accommodate variation in the orientation of the straight tip of the spring that does a spring-like thing. All in all, a very odd design, for an electrical switch. When a small switch of this sort doesn’t fully open when it is supposed to be open, you have to either fix it or replace. But this isn’t the case here, where the problem is that it doesn’t supply good electrical contact when it is supposed to be closed. In this case, you can still replace it if you want, but there is another option: you ignore it and bypass it with another switch. In my sorted collection of electrical pits and pieces, I found a small sliding toggle switch. It was one of several that I found, but the only one that I would be able to fit easily into the limited space within, and at the inner/outer front surface, of the handle. This was not easy to do, and is not a job for persons that haven’t had lots of practice with doing this kind of thing. I had to cut small holes in the internal plastic ribbing to create a path for routing the two wires, which I ran outside of the handle through the same opening through which the two original wires ran. Then there is the soldering, and the shrink wrap. To test, I kept the trigger pulled while I alternately opened and closed the new switch. Each time I closed the new switch, there was a very noticeable increase in motor speed. Then I did the reverse, i.e., I alternately squeezed and released the trigger while the new switch remained closed. In this case, the motor speed was the same regardless of whether the trigger switch was open or closed. This confirmed that the trigger switch steals an appreciable share of the battery voltage, from the motor. In hindsight I should have read the voltage across the original switch, with the new switch in the open position. If I had done that, I would know exactly what percentage of the battery voltage was being stolen by that switch. Across a switch, the presence of measurable voltage indicates that the resistance of the switch is appreciable in comparison with the resistance of the load. This deficiency in the design should have been identified during initial product testing. Assuming that it was not identified, the implication is that the initial product testing was insufficient to insure a product of acceptable quality. My recommendation to Scotts is that this switch needs to be replaced with the ubiquitous “microwave oven door switch”. The secondary changes needed to do this, i.e., to replace that pair of small coil springs with this standard, universal kind of small switch, should be no more than a day’s work for a competent CAD designer.
