Good Points
Can't think of any
Bad Points
Handle flexes, fussy over granule size, basically, cheap and nasty with small wheels that get stuck.
General Comments
Evergreen Easy Spreader:
I didn't realise that this spreader has no feeder to draw the load for distribution and it therefore relies solely on gravity. I didn't buy Evergreen granules and it wouldn't put down any of the feed that I had bought. Yes my mistake but that's far too fussy for me.
The handle is all plastic in 3 sections that clip together and it twists all over the place and it's far too flimsy for when a wheel gets stuck. You end up having to kick it with your foot to get it moving again. I think the hopper can take too much for the stiffness of the handle.
I'm sure it works great on perfectly flat, beautifully groomed lawns when you're using the Evergreen perfectly formed granules. Life isn't perfect though and until my lawn meets the right criteria it's not the product for me!
