Elite Spreader
I bought this Elite spreader last year and have used it several times since then. It’s well built and easy to maneuver. Overall I am happy that Scotts built this product for residential and as well as commercial use. Definitely recommended.

Excellent Spreader
I have only had the opportunity to use the spreader one time on my lawn, but it was extremely easy to put together, set, and begin the spreading process. I found myself having to stop, go back, and go over an area or two here or there where the rotary spreader was jammed up a bit, but overall it was an easy process with a well-functioning machine.

Great Spreader
I bought this a couple of years ago and love the way it handles and the sturdy design. I really like the large hopper. I'm able to put enough product in for my entire yard.I've always had Scott's rotary style spreaders. I have learned I have to adjust the flow. I can't go by the setting on the bag. When it says 3 3/4 I have to set it at more like 4 1/2.The flow seems very low on the recommended settings.

Evenly spreads seeds and saves a lot of time!
I purchased this Elite spreader last spring to spread seed on a newly developed property of mine. I decided on the Elite spreader because it has a lot more room to hold seed. I am very happy about this purchase. It took me less time than I imagined spreading seed on my lawn using this. It is easy to push, my father has arthritic hands and he is able to use this without any issue. I find that this spreader evenly spreads and I use this on hills, flat surfaces, and near wetland. The spreader is easy for me to clean out and store. Overall, I am very impressed with the Scotts Elite Spreader and look forward to using it a lot more this spring.

Works well
So far so good. Used for my fall application on my three acres. Works well. Longevity yet to be determined. A lot of plastic.

Great visible edge guard on the Elite Spreader
This is the best lawn spreader I have ever used. I have been building up my central Florida lawn for over 5 years now and have been completely sold on the benefits of annual application of Scott's bonus products for replacing my weed-filled "salad-lawn" with a nice turf of St. Augustine (in the front) and bahia in the back. A better spreader makes this job sooo much easier. I started with a handheld spreader....just don't! I got decent results from my Scott's mini edge guard spreader, but the Elite spreader is far superior in at least 3 ways for me. 1) The big wheels make a more stable delivery of the product over any surface. The Elite stays smoothly on the ground over bumps and delivers product consistently--no bouncing skipped areas anymore. 2) The overall beefy build feels great (nice and stable) loaded with material--Ever use a flimsy wheelbarrow compared to a solid (overbuilt) cart? Same kind of deal. Elite is better. 3) Most importantly for me, it is very important that my spread material gets to where I want it to go. It is super-important that herbicides don't go onto my bedding plants, shrubs, trees or garden areas. To me, the best feature of the Elite Spreader is the ability to see (and adjust on the fly) the edge guard. My yard is a mix of lawn and planting beds and I used to struggle with the starting/stopping to adjust the edge guard--the Elte model makes all the positive difference for me. If your lawn is basic (minimal landscaping beyond just turf) maybe that is not such a big deal. But if you have areas that protection from herbicides (do a search at your state's county extension office on the impact of certain products impact on trees and ornamentals)--this is a big deal. I really think this is the only spreader I will ever need from now on.
